  1. It was an incredible swing. Ramirez almost went down to a knee.
  2. Ditka passed away, per Jarrett Payton and others. No way the Bears lose Sunday, right?
  3. White Sox bullpen says "hold our beer"
  4. I know the Jets arent exactly good, but the defense is playing well again. DA seems to have found something that is working.
  5. That was dominant. And the young guys in this camp (Hall, Sullivan, Kochen, etc.) have been exceptional
  6. They got a singularly brilliant season out of PCA and still barely made the playoffs and feebly exited a round earlier than last year. I would call the season a failure overall, even with lots of incredible moments of brilliance.
  7. And it only seats like 35k to begin with
  8. Blackhawks D is just a mess. Can't clear a puck to save their lives
  9. stands awkwardly behind Ben Johnson in the good, better, best videos
  10. PCA obviously improved a ton from 25 to 26. Seiya went from 2.6 fWAR and a 123 wRC+ to 4.6 and a 134. Every other regular that stuck around got worse in either fWAR, wRC+, or both. Dansby dropped 7 points in wRC+, Nico dropped 22 and 2 WAR, Happ only declined 7 points in wRC+, but Busch was down 28 and Kelly down 12. Amaya (25) and Shaw (26) had seasons so messed up by injury that it's hard to compare year over year. 2nd half Bregman and improvements from PCA and Seiya (and a hot start to the season from the team as a whole) dragged this team into the playoffs. There will obviously be a lot of roster turnover this year and hopefully we can have a pitching staff with at least one starter we are confident starting in a playoff game next year, but the biggest factors in the 2026 Cubs success might be getting Nico back to around a 100 wRC+, having Busch rediscover his power, and maybe getting a bounce back from Dansby
  11. Pete's going to take a lot of crap for not performing in the playoffs
  12. Already sick of people talking about the White Sox like theyre an actually good team when they couldn't even win one of the worst divisions in baseball and somehow got rewarded with playing the worst team to ever qualify for the playoffs in a full season. This makes me want the next CBA to abolish leagues and just form a whole new batch of divisions and straight seed the playoffs 1-12
