Series Preview: Seattle Mariners (51-49) @ Chicago Cubs (61-40)
I was never a big fan of interleague play. I couldn’t care less about the White Sox or Royals or Twins, but I’ll admit that I do like it when the Cubs play a team like the Mariners, A’s, Yankees, Red Sox or the teams they don’t face all that often. I’m not in favor of getting rid of it, …
White Sox 1, Cubs 3
OSS: The Cubs find a way to beat the White Sox ace and even out the four game series. Three up: John Lackey was really good tonight in his 6 innings. He gave up an RBI double to Melky Cabrera in the 1st and that was it. He gave up 4 hits and that 1 run while walking a batter and striking …

White Sox 1, Cubs 8

The series begins with two on the south side and then moves to Wrigley Field on Wednesday and Thursday. The Sox got off to a great start and early on were nearly matching what the Cubs were doing, but they …
Cubs acquire Aroldis Chapman, send Gleyber Torres and others to New York
The Cubs are even closer to completing the trade for Aroldis Chapman that was rumored yesterday. For now, this is just a placeholder until any new info comes in on it. The most recent reports seems to suggest that the sure thing piece going to the Yankees would be Gleyber Torres who was the Cubs top prospect entering the season. …
Cubs still in on Aroldis Chapman
I’ve assumed for some time now that the Cubs weren’t really all that interested in Aroldis Chapman. I had assumed their real and only interest was Andrew Miller, but according to Ken Davidoff, the Yankees have asked for best and final bids from four teams. Those four teams are the Nationals, Cubs, Indians and, you know it, a mystery team. …
