Left-handed pitcher Manny Bañuelos is headed back to the injured list and his departure from the White Sox pitching staff is giving former first round pick Carson Fulmer yet another chance in the majors. The White Sox announced the move before Wednesday night’s game against the Cubs. This is the fourth time the White Sox […]

Craig Kimbrel made his 2019 debut, pitching a perfect inning for the Iowa Cubs in Sacramento Tuesday afternoon. It was his first game action since pitching in the 2018 World Series for the Red Sox. Last week he pitched in two batting practice sessions. Kimbrel doesn’t know when he’ll join the Cubs bullpen, but if […]

GM Ryan Pace has a growing reputation for being able to find quality talent in the later rounds of the draft. This is an art few of the general managers in football possess. Sure some will get hits from time to time, but most can rarely string it together from year to year. Pace is […]

The Chicago Bears front office appears to have a greater degree of luck than the coaching staff. For the longest time, it’s felt like the Bears have always lost quality assistants when things were getting good. Buddy Ryan left to become a head coach in 1986. Ron Rivera left in 2007 after getting to a […]

The Chicago Bears haven’t been in this position for a long time. A team with Super Bowl expectations, not just aspirations. Last memories of this feeling were 2010 and 2011 when the team looked and felt like a potential champion. Not only because they had a strong enough roster, but also because the landscape around […]

Aaron Bummer, Even Marshall, Alex Colome. Can any lineup get through these 3 beasts?

When he was hired as defensive coordinator, Chuck Pagano promised that he would do everything in his power to make sure the Chicago Bears defense doesn’t go through any drastic changes. He wasn’t lying. Only a fool would try to make sweeping alterations to the #1 defense in football. Pagano knows what he has and […]

Objectively speaking, what an awesome moment. Eloy Jiménez gets traded from the Cubs to the White Sox, he’s upset about it at first, but later understands the benefit on both sides. But still, he wants to prove to everyone that trading him was a mistake, especially to the Cubs. First MLB game against the Cubs […]

Everybody likes to form a picture in their heads every offseason of how a roster will look. Excitement is so high that they often favor new things over established things. It’s just human nature. That would explain why guys like Riley Ridley, Cordarrelle Patterson, Emanuel Hall, and Marvin Hall have gotten lots of attention as […]

Kyle Schwarber has been much more aggressive early in the count and it’s paying off for him and the Cubs. He jumped all over Ivan Nova’s first pitch Tuesday night and lined an opposite-field home run to start this year’s Crosstown Classic with a bang.

I don’t like how frequent “minor” injuries to the Cubs seemingly get worse after a couple days. I guess it’s not time to completely panic, but after the Cubs said they weren’t worried about Kyle Hendricks, placing him on the 10-day injured list, now ESPN’s Jesse Rogers is reporting that the team could shut down […]

Craig Kimbrel pitched in a game for the first time in 2019, coming in relief for the Iowa Cubs on Tuesday and not only did he retire the side in order, his stuff looked filthy. Kimbrel only needed eight pitches to get the three outs, which included a strikeout to end the inning. And here […]

Matt Nagy had a surprise for his Chicago Bears at the beginning of minicamps. Rather than the usual grind of practice, he instead held a massive Monday Fun Day. An event that held all sort of competitions from dodgeball to Saltine eating, water balloon tossing, and bat balancing. Among them also included a punting battle. […]

Not gonna lie, seeing the news was instantly greeted with disappointment, but I get it. Tyler Chatwood has been good this year and has definitely earned the opportunity to make a spot start or two when a pitcher is down. That’s the current circumstance for the Cubs, as Kyle Hendricks will miss two starts while […]

Prior to Tuesday night’s game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, the White Sox officially called up their #1 catching prospect Zack Collins. Veteran catcher Welington Castillo was placed on the 10-day injured list, as he was removed from Sunday’s series finale against the Yankees with a back issue. It turns out that Castillo has […]
