Rice and berselius talk about the current stretch of struggling Cubness, and try to do some math to figure out the Cubs magic number should they ever decide to play good baseball again.

Cubs 5, Rockies 4
OSS: Yan Gomes, Clutch God Three up: Three down: Next up: Javier Assad takes on Chris Flexen, who sounds like a midboss in a middling 90’s JRPG.
Wild Card Madness, Mamma Mia!
The Cubs decided to win a game and so they remain two games up on Arizona. This is mostly an excuse to post the yearly rookie dress up day stuff so enjoy 😉
Fun With Cubs
The Cubs won another game, another series, are 11 games over .500, and have the tiebreaker over the Giants, having not lost ground in any race. Have some Morel bomb shots.
The Next Phase
Other than being the title of a pretty cool Star Trek episode, this coming week marks the next phase in the Cubs race towards extra baseball in October. As it stands, the Cubs stand 3.5 games back of NL Central leader Milwaukee, so they didn’t lose too much ground after an unfortunate (but ultimately acceptable) split in Cincinnati. They are …
Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (71-62) at Cincinnati Reds (69-66)
From on NL Central contender to another, whee. The Cubs face the Reds for the final (scheduled) series this year and it’s been a wild ride in the previous Reds series this year. The Cubs split two games with the Reds in early April before seeing the third game get rained out (and being made up today). The Cubs then …
Cubs 3, Brewers 2
Belated postgame due to travel (dying laughing) OSS: Cubs blow a lead late, the scratch their way back for a W Three up: Three Down Next up: The Cubs kick off a four game set at the Great American Small Park, including a double header making up a rainout from early in the season. The Reds have faded a bit …
Dreamcast 71: House Money
RC & AC hang out by themselves this time because everyone else had better things to do or whatever. Topics include: I did a bit more editing this time but got pissed off several times because my mouse crapped out here or there and changed settings all funky on me, so at least this is a short one. You can …
Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers (73-57) at Chicago Cubs (69-61)
I guess I can get off my lazy but and bang out a preview for what’s likely the most significant series to date this year, with the Cubs four games back going into the series. The surging Cubs took care of business in a soft stretch of the schedule, only to see the Beers bang out an 8 game winning …
The Critical Stretch
Well well, folks, another set of series that were not lost! At 69-61 (nice), I believe this is the first time all season the Cubs have been eight games over the mythical .500 mark. I’m looking at the breakdown and it would seem that other than that abysmal month of May, which somewhat coincidentally was when Cody Bellinger went on …
