OSS: They’re only Mostly Dead Three up: Three Eight down The Cubs just need to add another eight games or so on the end of this winning streak to get back in this thing :/ Next up: The Cubs go for for the sweep at 3:05 PM CT. Hayden Wesneski starts against…someone. The Giants website lists Brebbia as the starter…but …
Series Preview: Cincinnati Reds (21-29) at Chicago Cubs (22-27)
One reason that I like to write these is that it reminds me on a weeklyish basis what the Cubs record is (dying laughing). The Cubs still aren’t Five Backā¢ yet but there’s a lil cluster with the Reds and Cardinals for the division basement, which is not fun. Hopefully things get right in this series. The Reds offense has …
Cubs 4, Mets 2

Series Preview: St. Louis Tire Fire (11-24) at Chicago Cubs (17-17)
I don’t even know what else there is to say about the dumpster fire in Cardinals-land. Will Oliver Marmol have a job by the end of the month? By the end of this series? The ‘play the game the right way’ nonsense with Tyler O’Neill was bad enough vibes, but then seeing the same pattern continue with this bananas Contreras …
Series Preview Take 2: Miami Marlins (16-16) vs Chicago Cubs (15-16)
Well, that was a road trip to forget. Going 1-6 with five one-run losses is not what you want. Still, I’m gonna be the boring guy and say I’m still not too needle-movey on my opinion of the team. Sometimes you flip a coin and it comes up tails a bunch of times in a row. Yes, the team is …
Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (14-10) at Miami Marlins (13-13)
The Cubs took care of business against a good Padres team, and embark on a fish-sandwich run of series with Marlins-Nationals-Marlins. Though I guess it’s only a fish sandwich if the fish is in the middle? I guess this is a Long John Silver’s style Double Down. The Marlins win projections are about in line with the Cubs at this …
Series Preview: San Diego Padres (12-12) at Chicago Cubs (12-9)
Lots of electrons have been spilled in the past week or so about the Cubs hot start, and subsequent disappointment with losing the four game set with the Dodgers. I’m not really sweating it that much. For one, if you told me that the Cubs would go 3-4 vs the Dodgers, with most games being competitive, I would have been …
Cubs 10, A’s 1
OSS: Two more Wizdongs lead the way to a Cubs blowout Three up: Three down: Next up: Marcus Stroman faces the bass player from Armada at 8:40 PM CT
Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (8-6) at Oakland Athletics (3-13)
I’m too lazy to write a postgame and a new preview so just riff on the Dodgers series some more here before getting to the new series (dying laughing). The last time the Cubs won a regular season series in LA was 2014. Edwin Jackson picked up the win. I saw a lot of sweeps as I worked my way …
