How do you top a 7-1 homestand and an 8-2 homestand? What about a 7-0 homestand? And let's not even think about that the Cubs would be going for the tenth straight win if it wasn't for those two unfortunate blown ninth-inning losses in Pittsburgh.

All this home-cooking might be needed, as the Cubs head out for a West Coast trip that will see them on the road for 23 of their next 32 games.

Today's lineup features Micah Hoffpauir in the three spot. I wonder what Lou had to do to get Derrek to take a game off? 

Game notes fun after the jump...

  • This is the first time since 1908 (see the parallel?) that the Cubs have entered June with the best record in baseabll.
  • A win today and the Cubs would have their first back-to-back homestands with seven or more wins since 1984.
  • The last time the Cubs started as well as 25-8 at home was 1977, the 1918 team was the last to go 26-8.
  • The Cubs followed their 17-win April, with an 18-win May.

Sweep, Sweep, Sweep!!!

Eh, the historically dreaded West Coast swing; what a crazy schedule the powers - that - be cooked up for the club this year, it's almost as if Wrigley was undergoing renovations this year. Oh well - sooner or later they've got to prove they can win consistently on the road, might as well be now.

Christ dude. I did not say that I am not happy with the Cubs. I am quite happy. I am just not all that happy with an easy dropped flyball that almost resulted in an injury. I did nothing to deserve the attack. If it makes you feel like a bigger man or something then fine. When I can't watch the game I often check in via Cub Reporter to see what is happening in the game. I like being able to do that. So when I am watching a game I try to do the same thing for others who might be checking. So I commented on the Soriano play. I don't really think it's a big deal. And I'm glad DeRosa is not hurt. If he had broken a finger on the play - whether the Cubs won or not - it would have been something to complain about.

I agree. He also got his contract for his legs and base stealing ability and because he looked as though he might improve in left field or even play center. It's great that he's hitting, but I think most people are disappointed when he drops routine fly balls. It's not that hard to catch fly balls when you have access to a baseball field and someone to hit you fungoes every day. I don't believe anyone said to release him or bench him, they just voiced their disappointment in the play. We'd like to see him get better and make the routine plays. I for one would also like to see his legs get healthy so he can go back to being a fairly effective base stealer. Of course, while he's hitting over .300 and knocking the ball out of the park, I'll still hope to see him in the game (especially since the bottom of our order is getting on base this year and Soriano has driven in over 30 runs). Then again, it was also nice to see Reed Johnson come in in the top of the 9th to play defense.

you'll never believe what SD pitcher is about to undergo season ending shoulder surgery.

Prior's season endings > Prior's season beginnings.

As much as I loathe Edmonds, if he can continue to contribute as he has this series, that'd fill the Cubs' only remaining hole, unless you count Marquis' shitty pitching as a "hole". Doubt the Cubs will be able to move him, though.

I agree, but I can also see why people might look at Marquis's spot as a place where the Cubs could improve the ball club. If Gallagher pitches well, maybe Hill or Marshall come back from injury and can pitch better than Marquis, then the Cubs would have an improved rotation. Lilly seems to be improving, if you don't take his last start to heart. Then again, Gallagher could lose it and who knows what will happen with Hill and Marshall? As of right now, Marquis is helping the Cubs. Who would take his place, Hart, Veal, or Wells? None of those guys are gonna outpitch Marquis as of right now.

Marshall's hurt, Hart may or may not be as good as Marquis in a starting role. Hart has better stuff, but he's thrown a lot of pitches per inning in AAA and we have yet to see him start in the majors, which is always a different ballgame. That said, if they found a way to trade Marquis away without paying much of his 6.6 and Hill, Marshal, and Hart were all healthy and considered part of our available pitching depth, I'd be in favor of it (especially if there is some team out there that would like to give us a reliever or a prospect in return--but that would just be bonus).

"Soriano is tied for the team lead in homers and is one behind in rbis." Pretty amazing considering the early season DL stint.... Lets just hope he is on one of his hot streaks come October.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here). 

  • Cubster (view)

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
