Ian Happ might be making a lot of Albert Almora Jr. fans unhappy because if he keeps this up Joe Maddon might be giving him more time than expected in center field. Happ is on fire through the first week of spring training, as he hit his third home run in Cactus League play for the Chicago Cubs on...
The Chicago Cubs took quite a beating in the 2017 NLCS, losing in five games to the Los Angeles Dodgers that left a bitter taste in Theo Epstein's mouth. His end of the year press conference with the media included a mention that the team would be seriously considering trading a young star to...
It turns out that Chicago Cubs pitcher Justin Grimm searches his name on Twitter to seek out his bashers and it's kind of sad. Now, I have said previously that if you tweet directly at an athlete then you deserve the embarrassment that comes back your way like what Kyle Long did to some poor woman...
Theo Epstein was on The Spiegel and Parkins Show Wednesday afternoon and the Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations was asked about the lack of political and social activism in MLB compared to some high-profiled coaches and star players speaking out in the NBA. Epstein didn't shy away from...
Joe Maddon has made it official, announcing the 2018 Chicago Cubs rotation order. The veteran of the staff, Jon Lester, will make his seventh career Opening Day start and he'll be followed by Kyle Hendricks, Yu Darvish, Jose Quintana and Tyler Chatwood....
Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon has done some creative things during spring training and in the regular season to keep his team loose, yet it's his ex bench coach Davey Martinez who has done the weirdest thing this spring training. Martinez finally got his first chance at a managerial position,...
Former Chicago Cubs outfielder Matt Szczur has shown that not only can he play baseball, but he's a pretty damn good artist too. His latest painting for Cubs owner Tom Ricketts might be his best work yet. Szczur has used his artistic talent to raise money for his foundation and his painting of the...
Joe Maddon will make it official early next week, but if you piece together the clues it's pretty simple to figure out who will be the opening day starter for the Chicago Cubs. After the first weekend of spring training wrapped up the Cubs scheduled their five starting pitchers this week, with Jon...
This was pretty rough to watch live and the replays only make it worse for our guy Lauri Markkanen. Jarrett Allen dunking all over Markkanen is exactly what you love to see if you're a Brooklyn Nets fan and absolutely awful if you're a Chicago Bulls fan. Goddamnit this was painful for Lauri....
The Chicago Cubs are no strangers to signing reclamation projects and that's the case with former second over all pick Danny Hultzen. The left-handed pitcher was taken second in the 2011 MLB Draft by the Seattle Mariners. However, because of two major shoulder surgeries the 28-year-old has never...
The primary goal for all 30 MLB teams during spring training is to leave either Arizona or Florida healthy. Unfortunately that's not always the case and for the Seattle Mariners, Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs is otherwise meaningless if it wasn't for what happened to Felix Hernandez. The...
When the Chicago Cubs signed catcher Chris Gimenez to a minor-league deal some fans immediately made the connection to Yu Darvish. See, when both were with the Texas Rangers, Gimenez caught Darvish and both are close friends. Then, Darvish signed with the Cubs, so Gimenez is guaranteed to be the...
