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 …
Jordan Wicks Was Pretty Good
Possibly an understatement 👀🔥⚾️ He looks like he could help you with your taxes and will too. Re: the now legendary mound visit:
Dreamcast 70: This Game Will Drive You Crazy
RC, AC, SVB & berselius hang out as the Cubs were crapping the bed against the Tigers (but they did win the finale and the series) to ponder the state of the Cubs. Topics include: Apologies for the lazy edit, ran out of time and have to do actual work here and there for a real job that pays money. …
Just Play Better
Seems the Cubs are sort of taking berselius’ advice. Despite some offensive hiccups lately to go with injuries to the pitching staff, the Cubs made out with a 3-2 home stand that probably should have been 5-0, but is better than the alternative where they completely collapse. The Cubs currently sit three games out of first because the Texas Rangers …
Cubs Win, No Notes
Much needed. So wow. Blessings be to Randall for pulling the radio call
Dreamcast 69: A Nice Stretch
As the Cubs continue to chip away at their deficits in both the division and wild card races, RC, SVB, and Berselius hang out to consider how to bridge the rotation until Stroman gets back (and hopefully doesn’t suck), Drew Smyly going to the bullpen, trying to get Seiya Suzuki right, and extending Cody Bellinger. Plus there’s some extended talk …
If You Dare to Hope
The Cubs have some work to do, obviously, but MLB did just release the postseason schedule: I think the Cubs have a good shot at snagging at least one of the wild cards, but if they can somehow win the division, they’ll still likely have to play in the initial wild card round. Unfortunately MLB still can’t keep the World …
The Season Does Not End Today
The Cubs enter this week having won a hard-fought series against the literal best team in baseball. They also did, once upon a time, win another series against the current best team in the American League as well. They also lost a bunch of winnable series but at this point, if you look at the breakdown, the only bad month …
