Game 161 Recap: Cardinals 2, Cubs 1

by Ken Schultz September 29, 2018

It is with great sadness and regret that I must begin this recap with the bleakest and most hopeless words I’ve written all year… Go Tigers. What You Need to Know: This one had the feel of October with a national telecast on a crisp fall day and both starting pitchers performing at or near […]

Game 159 Recap: Cubs 3, Pirates 0

by Sam Fels September 27, 2018

What You Need To Know: What you need to know is that this Cubs team—a team that has gotten barely 1/2 a season out of its former MVP and an injured other half from him, lost its closer halfway through the year and is down another while their third most important reliever turned into a basket […]

Game 156 Recap: Pirates 5, Cubs 1

by Ken Schultz September 24, 2018

Early on in tonight’s game, the Cubs telecast showed a clip of the Pirates’ three runs wild pitch from yesterday. And as the horror show unfolded before his eyes, Pittsburgh play by play man Greg Brown cried out, “That is AWFUL. Oh my goodness, is this AWFUL! That’s DISGRACEFUL.” It was a confusing moment for […]

Game 155: Cubs 6, White Sox 1

by Sam Fels September 23, 2018

What You Need To Know: This is what Cubs fans have been waiting for, or pining for, for a good portion of the season. An early pantsing of a starter who didn’t have it, everyone in the lineup looks dangerous, and then a cruise for seven-to-eight innings as you rack up yet another win. This is […]

Game 154 Recap: Cubs 8, White Sox 3

by Sam Fels September 22, 2018

What You Need To Know: If this game took place in July, you’d have probably left in the 6th or 7th to hang out on someone’s porch. Though the gap was technically close for most of the game, once the Cubs went up 5-2 in the 5th it never really felt in doubt. It just took […]

Game 151 Recap: Cubs 9, Diamondbacks 1

by Ken Schultz September 19, 2018

The Bad News: Before tonight’s game, the Cubs announced that Brandon Morrow was shut down for the rest of the year and wouldn’t be available to pitch in the postseason. What You Need to Know:  “Really? Our closer can’t finish off the postseason? Oh no, whatever shall we…*unbuttons jersey* hey, what’s this giant S doing […]

Game 149 Recap: Reds 2, Cubs 1

by Sam Fels September 16, 2018

What You Need To Know: There’s a reason people call it a game of inches, and it’s not totally lack of creativity. Jose Quintana made two mistakes, and Willson Contreras’s drive in the 5th missed tying the game by no more than a couple feet. Add it up along with Luis Castillo’s damn fine Kyle-Hendricks-Hopped-Up-Goofballs impression, […]

Game 144 Recap: Cubs 3, Brewers 0

by Sam Fels September 11, 2018

What You Need To Know: Jose Quintana had had just about enough of this crap, and had the Brew Crew staring at the lights for 6 2/3rds. The offense didn’t do much, and it’s an awfully strange world when I have to tell you Wade Miley and Jhoulys Chacin are probably the Brewers best two starters. […]

Game 139 Recap: Cubs 6, Brewers 4

by Ken Schultz September 5, 2018

Hey, did I ever mention that Pedro Strop is the ballsiest damn pitcher on the entire 40 man roster? Oh, yeah. I did, didn’t I? Can someone remind me how to upload the emoji for “Vince McMahon Strut?” This game felt like a three hour and 14 minute loop of Fred Sanford clutching his chest. […]

Game 137 Recap: Brewers 4, Cubs 3

by Sam Fels September 3, 2018

What You Need To Know: This one stings not because of what was lost but also because of would could have been gained. In a game where Craig Counsell and his Brewers were clearly going all in to win, the Cubs had reached into their chest and grabbed their heart with Rizzo’s homer off Josh Hader. […]
