Pictures are worth a thousand words, so video clips must be worth millions. The Chicago Cubs had their bats come alive on Tuesday against the Padres: Your browser does not support iframes. There was more after that: Your browser does not support iframes. Just a bit more: Your browser does Continue reading More Fun Cubs Highlights
I have talked a lot about the appeal of baseball to disparate audiences on this blog. We know for a fact that many minorities would probably try baseball if they had the choice, and even girls (who love the sport) would want a shot at it. Right now, baseball is Continue reading The Appeal of Baseball
Thanks to spring training and super-expanded rosters, we’re able to see a few split-squad games throughout the month of March. The Chicago Cubs decided to start winning a few of these meaningless games to appease the more nervous of their fan base, dispatching their South Side neighbors in the early Continue reading Spring Training Is Supposed to be Fun
Yeah, we haven’t seen the Cubs W flag for a while, but this is, after all, still spring when wins and losses don’t matter as much as performance and health. We’ve seen a few awesome individual performances on offense and defense, and for the most part the pitching has held Continue reading Let’s just take it easy
Friday’s Sloan Park opener for the Chicago Cubs was a victory for the home team, as the Cubs once again showed good pitching throughout and got plenty of offense to make the strong showing hold up. I unfortunately was stuck at school, but thankfully it was an assembly day so Continue reading The First Cubs Game Highlights of the Spring
I hope you’ve enjoyed the countdown marker on the sidebar that tells us we’re about a week away from Opening Night. You probably also know that Fallout Boy and the Chicago Cubs will be performing for you live from a construction zone, but that’s just the way it is and Continue reading The Drive to 25: Cubs Roster Update

At least a little bit. Anyway, Continue reading Dear Jeff Samardzija, thanks for throwing batting practice for the Cubs today
The game is over now, and the Chicago Cubs didn’t win, but it’s still spring training and there are always positives to be had. Except for a sure hit that he may have taken a less-than-ideal route on, Kris Bryant looked good in left field, backing up a play on Continue reading Highlights and stuff from a televised Cubs spring training game
I’ve returned from the arid desert landscape and pleasantly returned to an unseasonably warm Midwestern March. That has me in such a good mood that I need to share some of my sunniness with all of you. This was my first time attending spring training in Mesa. I had been Continue reading Back from Desert: Only Thing Brighter than Sun was Future
Okay, well, the Chicago Cubs didn’t win today. In fact, they haven’t won at all so far this spring, and the other game was a tie. Obviously, the season is doomed. Nah, not really. All we can really say at this point is –> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There will be more Cubs baseball Continue reading First weekend done…what’s next for the Cubs?
