Cubs 5, Phillies 1, “Golden”
- Sparkling defense all night,
migrating all around the diamond.
- Ian Happ with a (fowl) grab over the wall to start things off.
- Collin Rea was outstanding, perhaps his best start as a Cub, cooking the Phillies’ … you know. #Cubs #FlytheW
Never mind when Nico does THAT — I thought that was gonna be a double for Kyle.
Not sure I would have removed Rea for Schwarber, he’s really crossed our forever hero up. Great outing for Collin. #Cubs
Boog on Alex Bregman “He says it’s not how it looks, it’s how it feels”
ME: 🎵🎸”YOU MUST HAVE A HEART OF STEEL” #Cubs #PearlJam #NeilYoung #WhyDoIKeepFckingUp
Legitimately shocking to watch him struggle there!
Cubs 2, Mets 1, “Reborn”
- Hard to get better than this. Nico with the GW SF in 10, PCA scores easy.
- Conforto with the big knock in B9 vs Devin Williams.
- Bullpen nails, notably Caleb Thielbar.
The Cub Cavern recap is here!

#WWWWW 🧹🧹🧹 #Cubs #FlytheW
Ok so Swanson is NOT a bunter. NM a WP from Kimbrel!!!!.
Otherwise yes bunt for crying out loud remember last Saturday
Steal third PCA right away
I’m a huge Metallica fan, \m/, but the #Cubs organist goes to For Whom the Bell Tolls A LOT. #timemarcheson
Could not lay off the third. Sorry gang for the jinx.
I feel like Pete laying off these two out pitches was big. He’s doing it again btw
Michael Conforto, just like we all were saying two weeks ago #Cubs
The Cub Cavern recap from a sweet win over the Mets, including a pinch-hit decision in the sixth that resulted in the decisive three-run blow. Four in a row. Don’t look now. Actually, do look. Subscribe even. #Cubs open.substack.com/pub/cubcaver...
FREDDY Peralta. Such a role reversal I already forgot his name.
Cubs 4, Mets 2, “Deep.”
- #Cubs find their pop - Ian Happ reminds David Peralta how Wrigley plays, Carson Kelly a PH3-R blast
- QS for Jamo, Ben Brown solid
- Shaky defense … but lots of old Cub killers on the Mets on last legs. The Cub Cavern recap later.
#FlytheW #LetsGo #PlaytheSong
That’s some very nice work from Ben Brown. Shaky early, great play from Happ in 7th. Defense fails him in 8 and he still executes grounder after grounder. Progress ain’t linear. #Cubs
Brutal inning here. Near misses on two DPs and two errant throws. Lots of work for Ben Brown.
Carson Kelly on the first pitch - good thing I NEVER complain about early hacks! #3runjack Or pinch-hitting for Mo! #cubs #afraidtosayanything
Welcome back to Wrigley, Freddy, same as you left it! #Cubs
Welcome to the NBA Playoffs. Game times are posted here. What time does your team play? Could be within 5 minutes of posted time, could be an hour behind, could be 30 minutes. Who can tell?
Truth. (It’s also why they kept Shaw, in case they have any injuries and need any maneuvers between AB, Swanson and MVP)
There has been a contingent wanting to trade Nico for five years to make way for whatever slap hitter we have in AA/AAA.
Cubs 12, Mets 4, “Outburst”
- Mo Baller in the Baby Blues with the big blast!
- MVP Nico leaves the yard with a 2-run shot
- Bats stay hot, winds blow out, over .500, The Cub Cavern has it all.

Cubs up 10-3 and I still don’t think that is a safe enough lead to pitch Jacob Webb.
