Game 11 Recap: Cubs 13, Pirates 5
Fresh off hitting two home runs in yesterday afternoon’s home opener, Javier Baez took to Twitter to keep the good news going. He announced his engagement to his now-fiance, Irmarie Márquez, who is currently pregnant with the couple’s’ first child.

Game 10 Recap: Pirates 8, Cubs 5
At what point does it no longer become cute and cuddly that the Pittsburgh Pirates are flying the Jolly Roger atop the National League Central? The answer to that question can probably start with the agreement that such a point occurs well after the tenth game of the season. Still, though, in an offseason that […]
Game 9 Recap: Cubs 3, Brewers 0
No matter what Gleyber Torres does in the future, the trade for Aroldis Chapman has been forever legitimized thanks to a magical night in Cleveland in November 2016. Jose Quintana—at least until he similarly has a World Series title to celebrate with the Cubs—doesn’t have the same luxury. With every 972-ft home run Eloy Jimenez hits, the […]

Game 6 Recap: Cubs 8, Brewers 0
There’s something about rain delays. Everybody knows the story of the Cubs rallying to win the World Series after a 17-minute rain delay and some inspiring words from Jason Heyward during a player’s only meeting. It’s one of the more overplayed narratives of Cubs 2016 World Series lore, and even inspired an NBC documentary called […]

What You Need to Know: For months, Cubs fans had longed for their brand-new half-Iranian, half-Japanese, 6-foot-5 righty, whose stuff is often described as “sexy”, to make his first start as a Cub. Alas, it went poorly and they were left disappointed, like kids on a Saturday night waiting for bae to come over while both of […]
Game 2 Recap: Marlins 2, Cubs 1
One of the biggest bangers from global resident and Miami-native Pitbull is “Don’t Stop the Party.” For 17 innings the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins took that never say stop attitude onto the field and into the late Miami night. What You Need To Know: After a strong offensive performance on Opening Day, the Cubs […]
NLCS Game 5: Dodgers 11, Cubs 1
It is official. We now have scientific proof. 2016 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2017. Unfortunately, the 2017 Dodgers are also > the 2017 Cubs. Tonight was going to be a tough task with the Cubs taking on Clayton Kershaw in an elimination game. As you know, Kershaw is the modern day Sandy Koufax, so the best conceivable strategy […]
