#Knicks are up 19 on Cleveland, late 2nd quarter. I’m expecting Anthony Edwards to shake hands with everyone on the NY bench any second.

#Cubs are 29-25 with one third of the season played. Last year at this point, they were 33-21. Hard to process the fact they won 20 of 23 games at one point only to now sit four games worse off than a year ago.

Ian Happ has future Kansas City Royals free-agent signing written all over him.

Good God. Haven’t #Cubs fans been punished enough lately?

#Brewers lost Sunday and #Pirates won, so #Cubs are still 2.5 games out of first. And now, just 2 games out of last.

Not only is she back, she's back scoring her way 🙂‍↕️ Mal Swanson scores her first goal since having her baby 🥹

On the positive side, #Cubs have freed me up to work on the lawn.

Northwestern women's lacrosse are NINE-time NCAA champions 🏆

Lance Brozdowski is better at Taylor McGregor’s job than Taylor McGregor is.

Chicago skies should be clear by this afternoon, when Shota Imanaga exits to a standing ovation, after throwing seven innings of one-run, four-hit baseball en route to #Cubs’ 7-1, streak-busting victory. So you know, optimism doesn’t come easily to me.

Did anyone watching #Dodgers v. #Brewers just now notice how Andy Pages, the runner on second, was signaling pitches to Teoscar Hernandez before Hernandez hit the go-ahead HR? All I can say is, God bless you, Andy Pages.

Update update: 54

No doubt there are numerous cases of a team losing all six games in a homestand—as #Cubs seem determined to do—but I wonder how often it has happened where the home team never led, not even for a half-inning, during any of the six games. Seems like a case for @slangsonsports.bsky.social

Update: 48.

#Cubs got a hit (sort of). The lineup changes are working!

Moises Ballesteros and Pedro Ramirez trained and were signed out of the same facility in Venezuela back in 2021 as 18 year olds. Now they share a big league clubhouse.

45: Number of consecutive, completed innings since the #Cubs last held a lead.

Only 3 Cubs teams in history have allowed more HR through first 50 games. 78 -- 2000 70 -- 1956 68 -- 1999 67 -- 2026, 2006 Another indicator of how badly they need to fix this pitching staff, but also ... what the hell was going on in 1956?

So far this has been the #Cubs’ best day this week.

Never stop chasing your dreams!

The Congressional Black Caucus and NAACP on Tuesday urged pushback against GOP-led redistricting efforts in Southern states via college sports, including a boycott of public universities by athletes and supporters.

This is why the #Cubs   are 2-8 in the last 10 games. And there is nothing they can do about it other than let these guys work it out. They aren’t going to the minors, aren’t getting cut, and can’t be traded. Four of the Cubs everyday starters are in the top 10 in runners left in scoring position

Man, that happened fast.

#Pirates just tied the #Cardinals in the 9th inning, but if StL wins, 3rd place will be ours. #Cubs

Yeah, but “Wolf Lake” sounds so pretty. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/05/19/c...

Fantastic, fantastic hockey game and series. I have forgiven the #Canadiens for sending the 10-year-old me to bed in tears after beating the #Blackhawks in Game 7, 1971. Hope the Habs give Carolina hell. Heard the #Cubs played tonight. Wonder how they did.

At 0.8 WAR, Michael Conforto has been worth more than ... Corey Seager Manny Machado Ketel Marte Trea Turner Fernando Tatis Jr George Springer Junior Caminero Bo Bichette, and Jarren Duran Combined.

Meet the #Cubs’ latest waiver claim so, when he is suddenly brought up from Iowa and pitching in a high-leverage situation at Wrigley Field, you don’t have to ask, “Who the hell is this guy and where did Jed find him?” www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/05/cubs...

Awful game called by Chris Segal. Way below average accuracy, but above average consistency. Calls favored the #Cubs. He called 183 of 205 taken pitches correctly. The Cubs were 4/5 on challenges with 4 missed opportunities. The White Sox were 5/7 with 8 missed opportunities

Heated? No, *this* was heated.

Tomorrow the touring production of Spamalot comes home to where it all began at the Schubert Theater Chicago, now called something else. I suggested they make a speech saying Eric is absent writing a new play for the Robert F Kennedy Center about vaccination, called A small Prick in the arse….

In his first start for the #Padres rather than the #Cubs, long-unsigned Lucas Giolito has thrown four shutout innings, allowing the #Mariners one hit and no walks.

It’s fun to see what Michael Conforto is doing this season. Hoping Ian Happ can also enjoy the view, from the #Cubs dugout, the next couple days.

The 2026 Chicago White Sox are 24-22. The 2025 White Sox started off 23-52. The 2024 White Sox started off 21-61.

#WhiteSox have clearly turned a corner. Good for them and their fans. No one should suffer as they have had to.

#Cubs bullpen was/is awful. But leaving 13 men on base is BEGGING to get beaten.

At least it happened fast.

This game is a reminder of why I both love and hate baseball.

I never doubted them.

Wow!

Not over yet. #Cubs have time to leave a couple more men on base.

Dandy.

I was hoping #Cubs would bring in Brad Keller here.

Windy City (yes ik the real origin) 🌬️ This Ian Happ flyout was pushed in 137 ft by wind, preventing a home run, per @WeatherApplied That’s the largest deviation preventing a HR in their database (2023) for anyone, surpassing…a 113-ft deviation for Happ earlier this year !!

This site is now sending me a box score email every day, and it is the most glorious email! All the information I want beautifully cleanly presented in one place, just like my old friend, the newspaper

Bright sides in #Cubs loss: Bullpen (Roberts and Rolison) combined for three scoreless, hitless innings. Also, there was one AB in which Ian Happ didn’t strike out.
