Tonight the Minnesota Twins came up to Wrigley Field to begin a three game series following their series on the South Side. As both the Twins and Cubs look to be playoff-bound, this series shapes up for both teams to get a handle of what they’re made of. The series began tonight with a pitching […]
Yep, we’re talking about White Sox playoff baseball. At least, we will be in a couple weeks when the postseason begins, because the White Sox 4-3 comeback victory over the Twins Thursday afternoon officially clinched the Sox a spot in the playoffs. THE GOOD: Jose Abreu keeps being Jose Abreu. The Sox first baseman went […]
Tonight the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians finished their season series at Wrigley Field. The Cubs sent Jon Lester to the hill, while the Tribe countered with Aaron Civale. How did it go? The Indians did everything in their power to giftwrap this game for the Cubs until Javier Baez hit a bases-loaded single in […]
When you’re in the midst of a run of 22 wins over 27 games like the White Sox are in, you’re bound to have a lot of fun, which makes it easy to laugh in the dugout when your teammate does this while sliding into third: Predictably, the internet had some fun with this, and […]

See, the damndest thing happened. Alec Mills threw the 16th no-hitter in Cubs history […]
Earlier this week, the Tigers were outscored by the Brewers and Cardinals by a 31-0 margin over a 13 inning stretch. Then, they went to Sox Park on a cool and damp Saturday night and got bludgeoned again by a White Sox team that has absolutely dominated them this year. THE GOOD: The offense. They […]
Tonight the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers met for their second-to-last game of the 2020 season against each other in Miller Park. Kyle Hendricks started for the Cubs, and the Brewers went with an emergency bullpen game, as Brett Anderson was unable to answer the bell for his scheduled start. How did it go? Well, […]
The White Sox usually potent offense only mustered three hits Friday in the opener of a 3-game set against the Tigers at Sox Park, but it was just enough to get the win and keep the Sox on top of the AL Central. THE GOOD: Eloy Jimenez. Jimenez had two of the three Sox hits, […]
The Chicago Cubs began a three game road trip to Milwaukee with a pitching matchup featuring burly lefthander Jon Lester for the visitors against burly righthander Brandon Woodruff for the home team. How did it go? The Cubs should have filled the sunflower seed bucket with sugarless candy so they could get some runs, since […]
