During the Cubs’ 10-game losing streak, the Northsiders fell from 3rd place in the NL Central to dead last. The losing streak began on June 4th, the night game of a doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs lost 7-4 at Wrigley Field.

At the beginning of the 2022 season, Christopher Morel played for the Tennessee Smokies, the AA affiliate of the Cubs. Just over a month into the season, he’s making history with his bat. Morel was called up directly from AA and made his major league debut in Tuesday night’s 7-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He did not disappoint. Morel …

This past season we said goodbye to Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, and Javier Baez, all of whom we thought could be Cubs for life. Their departures gave way to a new, interesting lineup of faces.

The debate over who should leadoff for the Cubs has been a topic of conversation in Cubs Nation since Dexter Fowler left to play for the rival St. Louis Cardinals after the historic 2016 season.  Since then manager Joe Maddon has tried to fill the hole with a variety of players including Anthony Rizzo and Kyle Schwarber but the search …
