Good ole fashioned pitchers’ duel at Wrigley Field on Saturday between Justin Steele and Brandon Woodruff, but Ian Happ finally got the Cubs on the board, hitting the team’s first home run of the season. Happ capped off a great at-bat in the sixth inning, fighting off nasty change ups from Woodruff before hitting one […]

The Chicago Bears have hinted at the possibility of trading the 9th overall pick for weeks now. They surfaced almost immediately after their blockbuster deal with Carolina for #1. Nobody can shrug the idea off. GM Ryan Poles has already proven he’s not afraid to wheel and deal if the offers are strong enough. The […]

The Milwaukee Brewers not only lost on Opening Day, but they’re now going to be without starting third baseman Luis Urías for the next 6-8 weeks. In the ninth inning of Thursday’s game against the Cubs, Urías hit a ground ball off reliever Michael Fulmer and after sliding into first base he got up grabbing […]

I’m just really not sure what else Matt Mervis has left to prove in the minors. He shot up through the system in 2022 and ended the minor league season slashing .297/.383/.593, with 15 home runs in 57 games with the Iowa Cubs. Friday’s Opening Day once again proved that Mervis shouldn’t bet at Triple-A […]

The Chicago Bears have completed most of the pro day circuit. Now they must finish their remaining private visits before GM Ryan Poles can start assembling his board for the NFL draft on April 28th. It appears the recent string of updates is exclusively on the defensive side of the ball. That isn’t a huge […]

It’s only the second game of the season, but it’s never too early to question managerial decisions. Pedro Grifol found that out the hard way on Friday night as fans torched some of his in-game moves en route to the first loss of his career. The White Sox threw away a 3-0 lead which eventually […]

Trust me, I want Eric Hosmer to be good. Another unbelievable stretch like the one he had at the start of 2022 with the San Diego Padres would be more than welcomed because he was literally the sixth best hitter after April. But there’s a reason Hosmer was later traded to the Boston Red Sox, […]

Experts have weighed in on the Chicago Bears‘ progress thus far this off-season. Some believe GM Ryan Poles has done a fantastic job, adding significant talent to his roster without overspending in the process.

Opening Day could not have gone any better for the Cubs, putting up four runs and holding the Brewers to none. Fans filled Wrigley Field fast full of anticipation and excitement and absolutely got their money’s worth on Thursday. Here are three way-too-early predictions for the team going forward.

It was quite a shock on Thursday morning when Cubs fans saw Miles Mastrobuoni in the starting lineup at right field, filling in for injured Seiya Suzuki. With the Cubs having so much depth, especially in the outfield, it felt as though it was the most unpredictable start out of the ten positions. The question […]

GM Ryan Poles could go in multiple directions in the 1st round of the 2023 draft. He could take a pass rusher, cornerback, or even a wide receiver. However, when consulting most experts, the vast majority agree the likely outcome is the Chicago Bears take the best tackle on their board. There will be plentiful […]

The sun was out and the Old Style was flowing Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field. The Chicago Cubs took the field on Opening Day for the 148th time in their storied history and did not disappoint. Starting pitcher Marcus Stroman pitched six innings of scoreless baseball, striking out eight Milwaukee Brewers in the process. The […]

Ryan Poles has already made one thing clear in his short tenure as Chicago Bears GM. He believes in stockpiling as many draft picks as possible. Don’t forget he entered his first off-season in 2022 with only five selections. By the time he was done trading at the end of April, he’d increased that number […]

One day after the White Sox had a tremendous come-from-behind win to beat the defending World Series champs, manager Pedro Grifol is baffling people with his interesting lineup for game two.  The Lineups Have Been LaRussa Esque  On opening day against a lefty, Grifol opted to start utility man Romy Gonzalez over top prospect Oscar […]
