The Smokies stay hot as they head into their final week. South Bend and Myrtle Beach finish their seasons on a high note.
It’s the final game of the season for South Bend and Myrtle Beach. The Smokies still have one six-game series and the playoffs. It will be their final six plus games at Smokies Stadium in Kodak before they move to a new stadium in Knoxville next year. The Iowa Cubs still have two more series to play.

... just enough runs to win the last game of the series behind some outstanding pitching.
I know that most of you were paying attention to the Bears game this afternoon, so ICYMI, the Cubs finally put together enough runs to defeat the Yankees 2-1 and salvage the final game of this three-game series.
They did that despite having only three hits. From BCB’s JohnW53:
The Cubs won despite making just three hits. They had done so once before this season, when...

The Cubs try to salvage the final game of the series and homestand.
Sunday notes...
LET’S KEEP IT THIS WAY: This is the Cubs’ 68th three-game series at home vs. an American League team since interleague play began in 1997. They have been swept in only five of them: in 1999 and 2012 by the White Sox, in 2006 by the Tigers, in 2017 by the Yankees and in 2021 by the Royals. The Cubs are 104-94, a .537 winning percentage, against AL teams in games...

Rinse and repeat: The Cubs offense was shut down for the second straight game, 2-0.
I feel like I wrote about this game yesterday and said most of the things that one says after a game like this then. Which is probably fair, because most of you probably feel like you just watched this same game yesterday. But here we are. There’s work to be done, so let’s roll up our sleeves.
After the offense not only came to life but spent the last couple of...

The Yankees are a very good team. You can’t make mistakes and beat them, and that was the lesson learned Saturday.
The Yankees shut out the Cubs 2-0 on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field, and before I get to the two mistakes noted in the headline to this recap, a couple of shutout facts from BCB’s JohnW53:
This was the 11th home game of the year in which the Cubs were shut out, tying their single-season record, set in 1947. They have...

The Cubs come up empty in a 3-0 loss to Anthony Rizzo and the Yankees.
The Cubs were so happy to see their old pal Anthony Rizzo that they rolled over and played dead to give his team a win. Not really, but it might as well have been true. It was a generally well played game and neither team was able to generate a whole lot of offense. Unfortunately, the Yankees grouped production in the third inning, putting a walk, two singles and a double...

The only thing Cubs fans had to cheer for Friday afternoon was celebrating the former Cubs first baseman.
If you are one who enjoys no-hitters, well, you nearly got to see another one at Wrigley Field Friday afternoon after Wednesday’s gem by Cubs pitchers.
Cody Bellinger’s one-out double in the fourth was the Cubs’ only hit off Luis Gil and three Yankees relievers....
As Anthony Rizzo stepped onto the hallowed grounds of Wrigley Field today, it marked not just another reunion but perhaps the final farewell to the team that broke the most famous curse in sports history.
