Game 139 Recap: Brewers 2 Cubs 1

by Jared Wyllys September 8, 2016

It is probably best, after a 2-1 loss to Milwaukee in which Jonathan Villar single-handedly outslugged the entire Cubs offense, to remember that the games carry little real weight for either team by now. And that the Cardinals lost, so the Cubs’ inevitable conquest of the NL Central is no farther away. Tonight Matt Garza […]

Game 137 Recap: Cubs 7 Brewers 2

by Jared Wyllys September 5, 2016

When Thom Brennaman sat in the Reds broadcast booth in April and muttered “Enough already,” into the microphone, he had probably forgotten for a moment that he was on the air and his words would hang above the Cubs season for months to come. His private frustration was vocalized, and it’s captured the general sentiment […]

Game 136 Recap: Cubs 3 Giants 2

by Matt Petitt September 4, 2016

For better and for worse (but mostly for better) Jason Heyward’s play today was unlike any game he has played this season. After uncharacteristically dropping a fly ball (which of course was hit by Hunter Pence) in the second inning that led to an unearned run, Heyward collected three hits and drove in all three […]

Game 135 Recap: Giants 3 Cubs 2

by Ken Schultz September 3, 2016

You don’t usually expect a game started by Jake Arrieta and Madison Bumgarner to end with you staring slack jawed into the abyss like Krusty the Clown witnessing the antics of Eastern Europe’s favorite cat and mouse team Worker & Parasite for the first time. Generally, if one of those pitchers beats you, you can […]

Game 134 Recap: Cubs 2 Giants 1

by Zack Moser September 2, 2016

Top Play (WPA): Jon Lester might have been the star of this sunny Chicago Friday afternoon, but his batterymate provided the fateful batting blow to fell the Giants. Every half inning featured five hitters or fewer, save the Cubs’ half of the third, in which the streaking Cubs plated both of their runs. Javier Baez, […]

Game 133 Recap: Cubs 5 Giants 4

by Kazuto Yamazaki September 2, 2016

If it was an action movie, I can’t tell you it was a very good one. Some face-off and car chase in the first 15 minutes, but settled for the following 85 minutes. Then, in the final 10 minutes, after you consumed several bags of popcorn  and all of your fingers got sticky, there’s finally some […]

Game 132 Recap: Cubs 6 Pirates 5

by Andrew Felper September 1, 2016

Hey, a tight game against a division foe in the midst of a pennant race is one thing, but that catch is another thing altogether: Addison Russell reportedly covered 107 feet, reaching top speeds of 19.3 miles per hour. Had the ball dropped, the tying run might have very well scored (Len’s words, if you […]

Game 130 Recap: Cubs 8 Pirates 7 (13)

by Caitlin Swieca August 30, 2016

Given all the feel-good stories the 2016 Cubs have provided and the up-and-coming studs that populate most of the roster, it’s been easy to gloss over the guy whose baseball career is trending the wrong way. Last year, Miguel Montero was one of the veterans who helped elevate a young Cubs’ clubhouse, providing value behind the plate […]

GAME 129 RECAP: DODGERS 1 CUBS 0

by Kazuto Yamazaki August 28, 2016

There’s a last time for everything, so they say. On Sunday afternoon, the legendary Vin Scully called his final Cubs game in his 67-year career, even taking over the Cubs broadcast for the entire third inning. There’s a first time for everything, so they say. Dodgers starter Brock Stewart recorded his first big league hit […]

Game 127 Recap: Cubs 6 Dodgers 4 (10)

by Clarissa Young August 27, 2016

Kris Bryant did it again Friday night, homering in the tenth inning to lift the Cubs over the Dodgers 6-4 in Los Angeles. Most of the natural spotlight here falls upon the high-action late frames leading up to and including the deciding blast: Bryant’s first homer of the night in the eighth pulled the Cubs […]
