The Cubs have a quick one-series road trip to New York.
The Cubs have hung in there over their first 38 games, with a 22-16 record while playing only one team — the Pirates — that is currently under .500. (Yes, even the A’s, who the Cubs swept, are 20-18 and only two games out of first place in the AL West.)
They’ve got one more good team to face, the Mets this weekend, before the schedule eases up a bit.
For more on the Mets, here’s Chris McShane,...
The Chicago Cubs finished Tuesday’s game against the San Francisco Giants with a “worst of times” ending to an otherwise “best of times” game.

Guess someone had to take the blame.
It’s Friday and the Pirates have decided that they have figured out who is to blame for their rough season start, and the person they’ve fixated on is manager Derek Shelton. Managers are typically the ones to take the blame when a team is on a downward slide, but this is hardly the first time the Pirates have had a bad season.
