2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 39
Brad Penner-Imagn ImagesI put it all in the dek today. The Cubs lose 7-2. First three-game skid. That’s the story of the day. Jameson Taillon was tagged with four homers. It was overkill at some point. The Cubs offense mustered five hits and five walks. The two runs? Solo homers.
There haven’t been a lot of games where the Cubs have been outclassed this year. I can think of one in Japan where the Cubs just appeared out of their league. There was one against the Phillies. One against the Padres. Those three teams are a combined 40 games over .500. They are making a lot of teams look bad. There’s a fair chance that all four teams, including the Cubs, will participate in this year’s playoffs.
