The 162-game regular season is behind us and the brackets are set for the Wild Card round, which has already opened in Atlantat this afternoon. It’s been quite the season across baseball. We saw two future Hall of Fame pitchers end their careers, with Max Scherzer throwing on short rest the final day of the season to draw within three strikeouts of Justin Verlander’s career mark of 3,560. We also saw new

Here’s hoping the Cubs are faring better The end of the 2026 season has been a rocky road for the Chicago Cubs. September was one of two months that saw them post sub-.500 marks on the season with an 11-13 record. They finished exactly .500 in their last 10 games. They dropped two winnable games against the Red Sox and two winnable games against the Marlins. It felt like they might be limping into the Postseason even before star third baseman Alex Bregman took a foul ball to the face, resulting

Prior to last night it was the best single season in Cubs history since 1929 when Rogers Hornsby posted a .380/.459/.679 slashline with 39 home runs, two stolen bases, 156 runs and 149 RBI. As of last night, Sosa’s historic 2001 is now third on the Cubs all-time best seasons by fWAR because Pete Crow-Armstrong has passed him with a 1

The Cubs pitching might have reached its limit. If you buy something from a link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement. The last two games in Milwaukee have been the sort of close but not good enough affairs that are designed to rip baseball fans’ hearts out. It’s not losing to the Brewers that’s causing distress as rain blankets the North Side of Chicago on a gloomy September morning, it’s the nature of the losses. These were games that the Cubs had in hand late and just ne
