And to round out the top 5 from there, it's Alshon Jeffrey, Walter Payton and Mike Ditka.
-
He Pfaadts in your general direction. -
24 year old Justin Jefferson now has more career receiving yards than any receiver in Bears history.
-
All I can really say is that this seems like a much needed day off after 27 games in 27 days, as they were definitely starting to run out of steam the past week.
-
Rodgers story reminds me of that Greek myth about this unstoppable warrior with an unseen fatal flaw. Forget that guy's name, though.
-
The Colorado Rockies have been eliminated from playoff contention.
-
Look, if I'm going to bet that Fields outplays Allen and Burrow in week 1, I'm going to accept the money no matter which way the stats fall.
-
Yeah, like 4 maybe? Bull Durham, A League of their Own, 42 is really good also. Past that, it's a slew of comedies and melodrama. Little Big League is better movie, Rookie of the Year is a more fun rewatch.
-
Well, they're two of the top 10 baseball movies ever, but the quality of baseball movies is extremely thin.
-
Ahem. Cardinals @ Braves at 6:20 CT. Someone named Adam Wainwright has his 8th attempt at win #199 for his career, in an effort to pull the Cubs within 14 games of the Braves.
-
So it begins.
-
Justin Jefferson, unless you're convinced there won't be a real RB left by pick 24, then either McCaffrey or Ekeler.
-
22 games left as of today, and projections show the win total for taking the division at 90 wins. A 14-8 finish would get the Cubs to 90 wins, so that should be the goal if they have aspirations of winning the division.
-
The Cubs now have the same amount of wins as the Texas Rangers, who at one point were 72-48 while the Cubs were 61-58.

After another solid 5-2 week by the Cubs, here are updated Fangraphs projections for the end of the season among NL contenders: ATL: 106-56 LAD: 99-63 MIL 90-72 PHI 89-73 CHC 89-73 CIN: 84-78 MIA: 83-79 ARI: 82-80 SFG: 81-81 Darn the tiebreakers, but the Cubs are effectively in a dead heat with MIL and PHI for the 3-4-5 spots. Atlanta is pulling away with the top seed, and the Dodgers despite their hiccup against the Marlins this week are still 9 games ahead of the field. It's amazing to me that the Cubs are practically on a 90-win pace after being 43-50 in mid-July.
-
On the other hand, it helps keep a bye in play and increases the chance the Braves are coasting that last week.
-
Don't worry, the Brewers will beat them next week.
-
I for one am looking forward to doing a "Top 7 moments of 2023" thread.
-
It's Michael Wacha. That is his best stuff.
-
MLB records since July 17: EDIT: That doesn't include today's win yet, so they're 33-14 since July 17.
-
Cubs within 1.5 games of the Brewers, 1 game of the Phils, and 16 games of the Braves.
-
Me: Wins are the most useless individual stat in baseball. Also me: I hope Strider doesn't win tonight so Steele can take over the ML lead next outing.
-
Bellinger with already his 4th September HR, after hitting 5 in all of August (hit 8 in July, 0 in May/June, 7 in April).
-
Everyone in the lineup has reached base, all but Swanson have a hit (Swanson has 2 walks). They have 7 runs through 6 innings, having scored in 4 of the 6 innings, continuing to add on.
