The Cubs Are Good At Karaoke Too
The Cubs are good at baseball. Real damn good. They lost a narrow one to the Pirates yesterday but they’re still 27-9. The team has an off day today, so naturally, they went and did some karaoke last night. ChiCitySports.com was on the scene as Dexter Fowler, John Lackey, Anthony Rizzo, Jon Lester, ...
Cubs Fan Jumps For Home Run Ball, Misses It, Removes Shirt, Curses Sky Gods
The Cubs, an extremely good baseball team, are currently beating the hell out of the Pittsburgh Pirates, thanks in part to a three-run dong that old man David Ross jacked in the fifth inning. Ross’s homer was nice, but what we are really here to discuss is this fan:...
John Lackey Yells At Bum
Cubs starter John Lackey’s only mistake in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against San Diego was hanging a curveball for Christian Bethancourt, who clobbered it for the game-winning solo shot in the fifth inning. Lackey’s anger culminated in him yelling, “You better fucking run!” at the ...
Chicago Cubs Lose Doubleheader, Remain Historically Good
Yesterday, the Chicago Cubs lost twice at home to the not-so-good San Diego Padres by scores of 7-4 and 1-0, ending their eight-game win streak (or snapping it; winning streaks are always snapped). It also put a (temporary?) outer bound on the best start baseball has seen since before most of their ...
How Will Bryce Harper Deal With The Barry Bonds Treatment?
Bryce Harper hasn’t logged an official at-bat in his last 11 plate appearances. He was walked a grand total of 13 times during a four-game series against the Cubs, and set an MLB record by reaching base seven times in Sunday’s game without recording an at-bat: He was walked three times, intentionall...

Warren G Performs Incredibly Bad Rendition Of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame"

Jake Arrieta: It's Flattering That Other MLB Players Maybe Think I'm On PEDs
Jake Arrieta is on one of the most dominant pitching runs of the recent past. The Cubs ace has a 0.86 ERA over his past 24 starts and he’s also thrown a pair of no-hitters in that span. He didn’t exactly come out of nowhere but before last season, he was okay, and now he’s good. Is it drugs? Probabl...
Cincinnati Reds Twitter Finds Perfect Way To Recap Game They Got No-Hit
When you run the Cincinnati Reds’ Twitter, and the team loses in a 16-0 no-hitter, it’s tough to find a silver lining. But, you have a job to do. Those sad fans need their recap. Thursday’s final result:...
Jake Arrieta Throws First No-Hitter Of The Season
The Cubs might have to break out the pajamas again, because Jake Arrieta has thrown another no-hitter, blanking the Reds in a 16-0 blowout win on only 119 pitches. Incredibly, Arrieta hasn’t lost a start since his no-no back in August, and today was (obviously) his best outing since then. He only st...

No, ESPN Did Not Air Cardinals Fans Yelling Racial Slurs At Jason Heyward
Former Cardinals outfielder Jason Heyward made his return to St. Louis in Monday’s game with the Chicago Cubs, and the crowd soundly booed him for choosing to make money elsewhere.

Kyle Schwarber Carted Off The Field With Leg Injury After Crashing Into Dexter Fowler
Kyle Schwarber and Dexter Fowler collided with each other while chasing a popup that Arizona’s Jean Segura sent into left center in the second inning. Fowler tried to go low, but Schwarber didn’t get out of the way quickly enough and his left leg looks like it got mashed up pretty bad during the col...
Cubs Spring Training Game Overrun By Bees
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. I say it will end when our bee overlords choose to end it. That might already be underway at Sloan Park during this afternoon’s Cubs-Mariners game. Jason Heyward was the first victim, and he had to climb the outfield fence to avoid them....
