  1. Barring something crazy, it appears we're headed for a Colorado-Carolina final. I don't have particular rooting interest, should be fun.
  2. Article today suggesting Maton may not completely recovered from his injury. If so, at least, put him on the IL and go with a healthy body, don't care who it is, thinking someone who is healthy has far better chance at succeeding. Do not understand why the Cubs will let someone who's not 100% come back and blow games.
  3. Unfortunately, think you're correct about Steele, I think it best to write him off for 2026. Maybe, if all goes well, he'll be available sometime in 2027.
  4. Think he's heating up, big things are coming from him.
  5. Sox announcers blabbing about the Sox possible HR's but for the wind. Well, were it not for the wind Busch has, for certain 2, if not 3 today.
  6. They're all over themselves about Murakami' fast start, which had been great. However, I'll bet the league catches up to him in a big way.
  7. Regular season maybe, their formula of death by a thousand cuts doesn't work in the playoffs.
  8. For me, I would add LeMans to the list as well although, the 500 is probably more financially realistic.
  9. Always been a fan, most especially when I was kid. Use to look forward to Labor Day weekend and the Indy 500. Was wondering if you've ever attended the race in person?
  10. Believe Bregman and Seiya are starting to come out of their funks, Cubs will score many runs tonight.
  11. How far away is Thielbar? He could help with the Cubs pen improving.
  12. Nice win, don't believe the Braves are that much better than the Cubs, if at all. This series was more about the Cubs in one of their team wide slumps than it was about the Braves being so good.
  13. I don't know, he's probably a bust, after all, he was chosen by AK that alone should raise some serious doubts.
  14. Have to agree, if Peralta came with more seasons of control, probably. But, for a few months? No way.
  15. And of course, he's merely human vs. the rest of the NL Central. Appears a good deal of his big numbers vs. the Cubs are Wrigley Field driven. Well, at least from a power standpoint, 7 of his 11 career HR's vs. the Cubs at Wrigley.
  16. You mean next week? Do think he was traded to the Rangers for this weekend. Seriously though, when has that dipshit NOT hit the Cubs hard?
  17. Add Luke Little to that mix, if he could start throwing mainly strikes, it would help stabilize the bullpen.
  18. I remember that game, in the table above appears as a dominating start yet, the Cubs were crushing the ball.
  19. With the exception of the start last August, appears the Cubs have generated a good amount of traffic on the bases. Just haven't been able to cash much of those base runners in.
  20. You're not off base, lots of things to dislike, horsefeathers 2004, didn't Willy Mo Pena pull some throw out of his ass to help beat the Cubs that season as well?
  21. No doubt Grichuk is a scrub's scrub, nevertheless, there's something about the Reds that annoys the horsefeathers out of me. Friedl, Steer and Stephenson are irritating, it's not because they're exceptional, all about average players, just get under the skin. It was great to see the Cubs beat them in such a soul-crushing-kick-in-balls manner.
  22. ABS challenges or not, umpires need to removed from calling balls and strikes period.
  23. Soooo close to a strip sack, looks even better in slow-motion. Jarrett drawing a double on that play was big.
  24. Many of us have bitched about Poles ignoring EDGE and the D-line perhaps, rightly so. Just for shits and giggles I re-watched some of the regular season and post season games vs. GB, I noticed Montez was a monster in those games. On several occasions he destroyed the right side of their line, put heat on Love/Willis* and was a problem for them. I attribute some of this to Booker being on the field and ,the health, or, at least, the return of Gordon and Johnson. My point is, Dayo' motivation notwithstanding, with health (Booker, Gordon, Johnson), we'll probably see this version of Montez. If we do, it'll go a long way towards making the Bears defense average-above average which is all that'll be necessary. *My favorite - https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/1psirhh/highlight_montez_sweat_ran_over_the_tackle_for/
