**🐻🔵 CUBS WIN IT IN EXTRAS AT BUSCH — 4-2, AND THEY GET OUT OF ST. LOUIS ALIVE**![]()
![]()
Well, we said goodbye to Busch Stadium the right way today. Cubs 4, Cardinals 2, in ten innings, and honestly? After that gut-punch walk-off loss on Wednesday, this is exactly the response a first-place club is supposed to have.![]()
![]()
Javier Assad got the ball for the finale and battled — he punched out Jordan Walker to open the game, but the Cards scratched a run across in the 2nd when Bryan Torres slapped an RBI single. Cardinals up 1-0, and for a minute it felt like more of the same road-trip misery.![]()
![]()
Then Alex Bregman did what Alex Bregman does — scored from third on a fly ball and a Cardinals error to tie it in the top of the 4th, 1-1. Andre Pallante and the Cubs bullpen traded zeroes for a while, Michael Conforto flashed the arm in the outfield, Masyn Winn made a diving play that should've been the play of the game — and then Michael Busch delivered the go-ahead single in the 7th to make it 2-1 Cubs.![]()
![]()
Naturally, because this is the Cardinals and this is 2026 and nothing comes easy against St. Louis, JJ Wetherholt tied it right back up with a solo shot off Caleb Thielbar in the bottom of the 7th. 2-2. Here we go again, right?![]()
![]()
Not today. In the top of the 10th, Bregman doubled home the ghost runner to put Chicago up 3-2, and Ian Happ followed with another RBI to make it 4-2. This time the bullpen held. This time the Cubs walked out of St. Louis with the series and their dignity intact after Wednesday's Herrera walk-off nightmare.![]()
![]()
Split the difference on this four-game set, take the finale in extras, and get on a plane knowing the Yankees are coming to the Friendly Confines. That's a good week even with the Wednesday scar tissue.![]()

**🗓️ UP NEXT: YANKEES INVADE WRIGLEY (July 31 – Aug 2)**![]()
![]()
Interleague play doesn't get much juicier than this. The Bronx Bombers roll into Clark and Addison for a three-game set — Friday 1:20 CT, Saturday 7:15 CT on FOX, Sunday 1:20 CT — and this is a genuine measuring-stick series for a Cubs club trying to prove it belongs with the AL's best.![]()
![]()
The Yankees bring the kind of thump that can turn a Wrigley day game with the wind blowing out into a track meet — this lineup doesn't need much help finding the bleachers. For the Cubs, it's about getting length from the rotation and not turning this into a bullpen war of attrition three days after they already taxed that unit in St. Louis.![]()
![]()
Storylines to watch: does PCA keep hunting mistakes the way he's been hunting them all series? Does Bregman's hot stretch carry into the series that Wrigley Field faithful will actually pack the building for? And can the Cubs' pen — gassed after four games with the Cards — hold up against a lineup that doesn't miss many mistakes?![]()

Wind at our backs, ivy's green, and the Yankee#GoCubsGok#Cubsn#chicagoouse. Let's go.![]()

Well, that one's going to sting for a while. 😤![]()

**Cardinals 3, Cubs 2 (10 innings)** — and if you turned it off after nine, I don't blame you, but you missed a gut-punch. Pete Crow-Armstrong did what PCA does — plated a run in the top of the 10th to give Chicago a 2-0 lead and looked like the hero of the night. Then Trent Thornton walked out for the bottom half, and it all came apart. Jordan Walker came around to score, and Iván Herrera — who's quietly been a Cubs killer all series — ripped a walk-off double to end it. Ballgame. Heartbreak. Same old song against these guys sometimes, even when Chicago is the better team on paper.![]()
![]()
And let's be real: this loss says less about the Cubs' offense (which has been an absolute machine — 12+ hits in four straight games heading in) and more about a bullpen question that isn't going away on its own. Jacob Webb, Caleb Thielbar, then Thornton in extras — that's the depth chart thinning out fast. With Hunter Harvey and Daniel Palencia banged up and the trade deadline bearing down, Jed Hoyer doesn't just need a starter. He needs an arm for the eighth and ninth that doesn't make me hold my breath every time the phone rings to the bullpen.![]()
![]()
Silver lining: the Cubs still take this series, 2-1, and still sit second in the NL Central with a real hold on that first wild card spot. One extra-inning gut-punch in St. Louis doesn't erase a hot stretch — Chicago's been outscoring opponents by 34 runs over their last 10.![]()
![]()
**Today's finale, 1:15pm CT at Busch:** Javier Assad (6-1, 3.86 ERA) gets the ball for the Cubs instead of the originally-planned Shota Imanaga — word is it's just extra rest for Shota with the Yankees looming, not an injury concern, and it keeps Assad on his normal turn. He's been quietly excellent all year. Cardinals counter with Andre Pallante (11-6, 3.77 ERA), who's had a strong season of his own, so this isn't a get-right game against a soft matchup — St. Louis is sending out a legit arm.![]()
![]()
Vegas has the Cardinals as slight favorites at home, but I don't care. This team hasn't blinked all month. Time to go into Busch, take the series win, and remind#GoCubsGo #Cubsn#chicago9;s actually built for October.![]()

**SOX WIN IT IN 12. LET THAT SINK IN.** ⚾🖤🤍![]()
![]()
Twelve innings. Three hours and change of will-they-won't-they baseball, and when the dust settled at Rate Field tonight, it was your Chicago White Sox standing tall, 6-5, over the New York Yankees. On a Wednesday night, in front of our people.![]()
![]()
This one wasn't pretty early. Davis Martin battled through six, giving up four earned on 106 pitches — grinding, not dominant, but he kept us in it against a Yankees lineup that can turn a mistake into a souvenir in half a second. On the other side, Cam Schlittler was cruising, six-plus innings, eight strikeouts, and for a good stretch it looked like we were headed for another one of those nights where we play good enough to lose.![]()
![]()
But this team has shown you something lately — it doesn't quit. Munetaka Murakami got hold of one for his 22nd homer of the year, because of course he did, that kid's swing looks like it belongs on the South Side. And when it mattered late, Sam Antonacci went deep for his 7th, keeping this thing alive when a lesser team folds it up and goes home.![]()
![]()
Twelve innings is where character shows up. Bullpens get stretched, decisions get made, and tonight the pen did its job when it counted most. Jordan Hicks picked up the win, and give credit to a bullpen that's had its ups and downs this year but found a way tonight against a Yankees team fighting for their own AL East life, just a game and a half back of Tampa. Beating a team with that much on the line means something. That's not garbage-time baseball. That's playing playoff atmosphere in July.![]()
![]()
Here's the part I want you to sit with: this puts us at 56-51. We are still hanging around the top of the AL Central, still in this thing, still playing baseball that matters in the summer for the first time in what feels like forever. I'm not going to pretend the last few days have been smooth — we dropped two straight to these same Yankees before tonight, and this rebuild has taught every one of us not to get ahead of ourselves. But a win like this, a grind-it-out, extra-innings win where the offense had to answer a big early deficit and the bullpen had to hold the line — that's the identity I want from this team. Small ball, defense, pitching depth, and refusing to fold. That's Sox baseball. That's 2005 baseball, whether these kids know it or not.![]()
![]()
Cleveland's still breathing down our necks in the Central, and this stretch against the Yankees was never going to be easy. But we found a way. Tonight we got it.![]()

Go Sox. See you at the ballpark. 🖤🤍
**GUTTED ON THE SOUTH SIDE: Cole Silences the Bats, Sox Fall 3-2**![]()
![]()
Rough one at the Rate tonight, South Siders.![]()
![]()
Anthony Kay battled. He gave us a chance. But Gerrit Cole did what Gerrit Cole does — six shutout innings, four hits allowed, and our lineup just couldn't find anything against him. That's the story of tonight in one sentence: we didn't lose because we played bad baseball, we lost because a former Cy Young winner made big league hitters look silly for six innings straight.![]()
![]()
Max Schuemann's two-run double was the dagger. That's it. That's the difference in a 3-2 ballgame. One swing, and suddenly you're playing from behind against a bullpen that doesn't blink.![]()
![]()
Give the guys credit for not going down easy — Braden Montgomery kept battling with two hits, and Chase Meidroth made David Bednar sweat with a two-run bomb in the ninth to cut it to one. For about thirty seconds, Guaranteed Rate had a pulse again. Then Bednar buckled down and struck out Everson Pereira to slam the door. Save number 22. Chicago's fourth loss in five.![]()
![]()
Here's what stings the most: we're still the team atop the AL Central. We're still 1.5 games up on Cleveland. This isn't a last-place club playing out the string — this is a contender that just got beat by a better team on a given Tuesday night, and needs to answer for it tomorrow.![]()
![]()
That's the grind of a real season. No moral victories, no participation trophies. You tip your cap to Cole, you own the missed opportunities, and you show up tomorrow ready to play the game the right way — pitching, defense, situational hitting. That's Sox baseball. That's how we get back to October, and that's #WhiteSoxt back to hoisting something like we did in '05.![]()

One game. Move on. Go Sox![]()

🐻🔵 CUBS 10, CARDINALS 2 — WE JUST BURIED ST. LOUIS UNDER .500 IN THEIR OWN BALLPARK 🔵🐻![]()
![]()
Some nights this rivalry gives you a nail-biter. Tonight it gave us a demolition, and honestly? I'll take it. Every single time.![]()
![]()
The Cubs didn't wait around. Two outs, first inning, Ian Happ works an 11-pitch at-bat and rips a two-run double to get it started. That's the kind of professional at-bat that sets a tone — grinding a starter down before he even settles in. By the time the second inning wrapped, McGreevy was toast: Pete Crow-Armstrong's sac fly, a Seiya Suzuki double, RBI singles from Michael Busch and Nico Hoerner — five more runs on five hits, and just like that it's 7-0 and McGreevy's night is over after 1⅔ innings, 8 hits, 7 earned runs charged to his line. Brutal.![]()
![]()
And this wasn't a one-man show, it was the whole lineup taking turns. Alex Bregman finished with three hits. Suzuki went 3-for-with-2-RBI. Pedro Ramirez chipped in three hits of his own. Hoerner drove in two. This offense has now put up 12+ hits in four straight games and scored 35 runs over that stretch. That's not a hot streak, that's a buzzsaw.![]()
![]()
Colin Rea was the real story on the mound, though. Six strong innings, just one run allowed — a sac fly in the fourth — on four hits with a cushion the size of the Gateway Arch behind him. He didn't need to be perfect, but he was genuinely good, and that's exactly what this rotation needs down the stretch. Rea moves to 8-7 and this Cubs staff has posted a 3.07 ERA as a group since July 4th, quietly one of the best marks in baseball. Nobody's talking about that enough.![]()
![]()
St. Louis' only other run came on a Masyn Winn double in the ninth, which is about as meaningful as it sounds in a game that was decided before most fans finished their first Busch Light.![]()
![]()
Here's the number that matters most: Cardinals fall to 53-54. Under .500 for the first time all season. They've now lost nine of their last twelve since the break, and we're the team that put them there — again. Meanwhile, we move to 61-46, a season-high 15 games over .500, matching a mark we've only hit once before, back on May 8th. We're up 2-0 in this series with two more to play at Busch, and this team is playing like it knows exactly what October means.![]()

David Peterson just gave up 10 earned runs at Wrigley. TEN. Career high, and not the kind you frame.
17-1. Cardinals put up 17 hits. We put up one run on a Bregman double.
Five-game win streak, gone in an afternoon. Flush it. Imanaga tomorrow. 🐻💙
