🐻🔵 **CUBS WIN IT IN 10! 3-2 over the Pirates in Pittsburgh!** 🔵🐻![]()
![]()
Friday night at PNC Park and this one had ALL the Cubs DNA — a gutsy start, a tie ballgame, and extra innings that had us pacing the living room.![]()
![]()
**Matthew Boyd was DEALING.** 7 innings, 1 earned run, 4 K's on 97 pitches. This is exactly the version of Boyd we signed up for — competing deep into games and giving the pen a breather. Pittsburgh got to him in the bottom of the 5th (Henry Davis with the RBI) to go up 1-0, but that was it. Boyd kept battling.![]()
![]()
Pete Crow-Armstrong tied it right back up with a solo shot in the top of the 6th — his bat has been must-watch TV lately, and that homer knotted it at 1-1. Nine innings came and went with the game still tied, so off to extras we went.![]()
![]()
Top of the 10th, Cubs strike first on the road — **Dansby Swanson and Seiya Suzuki both come through with RBIs** to push it to 3-1. Pittsburgh clawed one back in the bottom of the 10th (Nick Gonzalez with the RBI) to make it 3-2, but Gavin Hollowell slammed the door for the save. Caleb Thielbar picks up the win.![]()
![]()
Ten innings on the road. A starter who gave everything, a bat that kept coming through in big spots, and a pen that closed it out. That's a total team win.![]()
![]()
This is the stuff that separates good teams from teams that find a way. We find a way. 💙![]()

**BEARS TRAINING CAMP PREVIEW — Halas Hall, Here We Come** 🐻🔥![]()
![]()
Bear Down, Chicago. Rookies report July 25th, the veterans roll into Lake Forest July 28th, and by July 31st we get our first live look at this football team since a January that hurt in a way only this franchise can make hurt. Twelve wins. An NFC North title. This organization's first-ever playoff win under a rookie head coach. And then Caleb Williams throws for 618 yards across two playoff games — second-most in a single Bears postseason behind only Jim McMahon's 636 in the year that still runs this city's bloodstream — and it still wasn't enough. That's the Bears in a sentence. Get you right up to the mountain, then remind you exactly why 1985 stands alone.![]()
![]()
So here we are. Year 2 of Ben Johnson. Year 2 of Caleb. And an offseason that gave us plenty to love and one gaping hole I am not going to pretend isn't there, because that's not how we do things around here. Let's break it down.![]()
![]()
**THE FIVE PROS 👊**![]()
![]()
**1. Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams get a real training camp together.** No more feeling-out process. Johnson rebuilt Caleb's footwork, the offense caught fire late, and Caleb led the entire NFL in fourth-quarter comeback wins. That's not hype. That's a quarterback growing into a system built for him.![]()
![]()
**2. This offensive line might be legitimately elite.** Joe Thuney — first-team All-Pro, the league's inaugural Protector of the Year — anchors a group with Darnell Wright (second-team All-Pro) at right tackle and Jonah Jackson at right guard. Multiple analysts have this unit as top-5 in football. Bears fans, say that sentence out loud. Feel weird yet?![]()
![]()
**3. The skill talent is scary and it's just getting started.** Colston Loveland became the first rookie tight end to lead this team in receiving since Mike Ditka in 1961. Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, Cole Kmet — Caleb's got weapons now, not excuses.![]()
![]()
**4. Ryan Poles didn't just stand pat, he got aggressive on value.** Trading DJ Moore to Buffalo for a second-rounder while clearing $16.5 million, snagging center Garrett Bradbury for a late-round pick after Drew Dalman's retirement blindsided everybody — that's a front office working the margins instead of panicking.![]()
![]()
**5. The 2026 draft class has teeth.** First-round safety Dillon Thieneman out of Oregon — first defensive first-rounder since 2018, first safety in the first round since Mark Carrier in 1990 — paired with free-agent safety Coby Bryant, a Super Bowl champ. The back end of this defense got faster and it got real.![]()
![]()
**THE FIVE CONS — AND YEAH, WE'RE GOING THERE 💢**![]()
![]()
**1. The pass rush situation is genuinely alarming, and nobody fixed it.** 29th in pressure rate. 22nd in sacks. And outside of Montez Sweat, this group "added next to nothing," per the numbers. That's not my opinion. That's the tape.![]()
![]()
**2. The Bears did the least of anybody to address it.** Kicked tires on Maxx Crosby. Passed. While Kansas City, Cincinnati, Dallas, and New England all made moves, Chicago sat there. Dennis Allen kept the whole defensive staff and is betting on internal improvement instead of outside help. I hope he's right. History says don't hold your breath.![]()
![]()
**3. Left tackle is a full-blown question mark heading into camp.** Ozzy Trapilo's likely opening the year on PUP. Braxton Jones is the favorite over Jedrick Wills Jr., but "favorite" isn't "starter" yet, and this offense cannot survive Caleb getting hit from the blind side.![]()
![]()
**4. That +22 turnover differential from 2025 is not walking back through that door.** Best mark since the '85 Super Bowl team, and it papered over a lot of defensive sins. Regress toward the mean even a little, and these one-score games start going the other way.![]()
![]()
**5. The schedule is the toughest in the NFL, full stop.** Opponents combined for a .550 win percentage last year. Books have Chicago at a 9.5 win total — third in our own division behind Detroit and Green Bay. The margin for error just got smaller while the defensive questions got bigger.![]()
![]()
**WHERE THAT LEAVES US**![]()
![]()
Here's my honest take, and I'm not hedging it: this roster has real juice on offense. Caleb, Johnson, that offensive line, those pass-catchers — that's a group capable of scoring with anybody in the NFC. But I watched this defense get bullied off the field in a playoff loss to a Rams team that added an elite edge rusher, and then I watched this front office run it back at that exact position with nothing but hope and a faster secondary. Coby Bryant and Dillon Thieneman are going to make plays. That much I believe. But speed in the back seven doesn't mean a thing if there's nobody getting home up front, and I need to see it in pads before I trust it.![]()
![]()
That's what training camp is for. That's why we're at Halas Hall watching every single rep of that left tackle battle, watching Sweat and Austin Booker and Dayo Odeyingbo coming off that Achilles, watching whether this pass rush shows any life at all before Cincinnati and Tennessee joint practices tell us more than any highlight reel could.![]()
![]()
Chicago, I believe in this team. I believe in Caleb. I believe Ben Johnson is the real deal. But belief without accountability is how this franchise ends up telling the same sad story every decade since Halas built this thing. So we watch. We show up. We hold every single one of them to the standard Butkus and Payton and Urlacher and Singletary set — because that's what wearing this jersey is supposed to mean.![]()
![]()
Bear Down. See you at camp. 🐻🔥

**🐻🔵 CUBS WIN. CUBS WIN. 11-2. Book it. 🔵🐻**![]()
![]()
Wrigley was ROCKING tonight and we honestly needed this one bad after that gut-punch extra-innings loss to Detroit on Monday. David Peterson went out and set the tone immediately — 6.2 innings, one walk, four punchouts on 94 pitches. This is the same guy who came over from the Mets and had folks nervous with an 8.16 ERA in his first few starts here. Tonight he looked like the pitcher we traded for. That's how you build trust with a fanbase that's seen a lot of arms come and go.![]()
![]()
And then the offense just DECIDED to have a party. Third inning, the line just kept moving — Carson Kelly singles in two, Michael Busch follows with a single to drive in another, Nico Hoerner and Ian Happ keep the line moving, PCA draws a bases-loaded walk, Seiya Suzuki walks one in too. Pete Crow-Armstrong drove in a pair and legged out a triple on top of it — that kid is must-watch baseball right now. Michael Conforto added a homer for good measure. This was a full lineup, top to bottom, refusing to let one bad night define the series.![]()
![]()
Yeah, Dillon Dingler got the Tigers on the board with a solo shot — he's been a problem for us all series — but tonight the Cubs just had too many bats going.![]()
![]()
We're now 57-44, and nights like this are exactly why. Ugly loss Monday, statement win Tuesday. That's a resilient ballclub. Rubber match tomorrow at the Friendly Confines — let's finish this series off right.![]()

Go Cubs Go. 🌊⚾
⚾️ **CUBS 10, TWINS 1 — THUMP.** ⚾️![]()
![]()
That's the sound of Alex Bregman's bat meeting a Zebby Matthews breaking ball in the bottom of the first — 101.4 mph off the barrel, 383 feet, gone. Two-run shot. And just like that, Wrigley was rocking before most of us finished our first beer.![]()
![]()
This one got out of hand FAST, and I mean that in the best possible way for a fanbase that's watched way too many "out of hand" go the other direction.![]()
![]()
Third inning: Nico Hoerner rips a liner right at Twins center fielder Luke Keaschall, who boots it. Busch scores. Bregman scores. Happ scores. Pedro Ramirez singles home Hoerner one batter later. **7-0. Bottom of the third. Cruising.**![]()
![]()
The Cubs tacked on three more in the fourth to make it double digits, because why not put your foot on the throat when you've got it there.![]()
![]()
Let's talk about Shota Imanaga for a second, because this was his SEVENTH straight good start — seven shutout innings today, six hits, one walk, four strikeouts. The guy is finding it again. Now, only two of those seven have technically been "quality starts" by the book, so I'd love to see him stretch out a bit more as we roll into August — but you can't complain about zeroes on the board.![]()
![]()
And can we talk about Nico Hoerner for a second? He's 8-for-12 since the All-Star break with two more RBI knocks today. Bregman's slugging a little more too while still getting on base at a great clip. Are these two "all the way back" after a rough first half? Not yet. But they're a step or two down that road, and I like what I'm seeing.![]()
![]()
Shoutout to Pete Crow-Armstrong too — that catch in the top of the sixth with runners on first and third saved Shota's day and kept the shutout intact. That's a difference-making defender right there.![]()
![]()
Final box: **Cubs 10 runs, 12 hits, 1 error. Twins 1 run, 8 hits, 1 error.** A great weekend of baseball at the Friendly Confines.![]()
![]()
Now it's Detroit coming to town starting tomorrow night, and there's a real chance we get a Tarik Skubal sighting on the mound Wednesday. Jed better not let that ace fly out of Chicago without a fight from our bats.![]()
![]()
Go Cubs. 🐻🔵![]()

White Sox 3, Blue Jays 0 — Sean Burke Shuts the Door in Toronto.![]()
![]()
Zero for the Jays, three on the board for the good guys, and a series win to start the second half. That's how you do it, South Side.![]()
![]()
Sean Burke was that guy today. 6 ⅔ innings, two hits, one walk, five strikeouts — didn't let a runner reach until the fourth inning, and even then it was just an infield squeaker. That's now 7-4 on the year, and in two starts against Toronto this season he's allowed exactly one run in 12 ⅔ innings. Command, aggression with the fastball, no wasted pitches. This is pitching done the right way — not flash, just conviction. Manager Will Venable said it himself: it starts with fastball command and the confidence radiates from there. Damn right it does.![]()
![]()
Offense didn't need much. Sox scratched across a run in the fourth off Trey Yesavage on a Munetaka Murakami walk that came around to score. Then Colson Montgomery — who's quietly having himself a season — went deep in the sixth for his team-leading 24th homer, a solo shot to right-center off a 1-2 splitter. Benintendi followed with a double, and Braden Montgomery drove him in with a single. That's your three. Small ball meets a big swing. That's the Sox way.![]()
![]()
Defense held up its end too. Randal Grichuk — a former Blue Jay, no less — robbed Ernie Clement at the wall in left. Braden Montgomery made a sliding grab in the ninth to keep the door shut. And Grant Taylor came on for the save, his fifth of the year, navigating a little ninth-inning trouble to close it out clean.![]()
![]()
Sox took the rubber match, won the season series against Toronto 5-1, and did it with pitching and defense — the stuff that actually wins baseball games.![]()
![]()
That's a Sunday afternoon in the South Side family. Go Sox.
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. 🐻💙
