We get it. You're about to go on an amazing vacation while the rest of us toil and suffer! -
I opted out of that whole debacle before it started. Best choice I ever made.
-
That felt like a game this team would have lost in grueling fashion back in August. Really nice W today.
-
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
-
Kinda hilarious this game might turn on a pitch clock violation.
-
Happ getting a hit now would be spiffy.
-
Miller is filthy, My goodness.
-
Having Happ bunt in front of Kyle Tucker is also not a particularly great idea at the moment, either. Frankly, if the roles were reversed, you'd probably have a better argument.
-
Well that was anticlimactic.
-
PCA took a ball in that plate appearance, so, uh, progress I guess?
-
New game!
-
Outs are outs, but yikes. BABIP giveth and BABIP taketh away.
-
Mets. It's destiny.
-
Someone give Boyd a gold star.
-
All I ask is he gets through the 5th with only 2 runs scored. If he can accomplish that, I feel good about the Cubs' odds.
-
Cade Horton End of list.

Week 4: Bears vs Raiders Sunday at 3:25 on CBS
Outshined_One replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
I tend to view modern RBs like I view relief pitchers in baseball. Most teams can churn RPs internally without much of an issue, and they tend to be reasonably interchangeable with minimal resources needed to acquire them. Take Andrew Kittredge; all the Cubs needed to trade for him was a lottery ticket. It's also generally a fool's errand to spend a high draft pick on a guy who's a relief pitcher in college. However, all of that goes flying out the window when you find a really, really good RP. In that instance, it can be worth the hefty price, be it draft pick, trade pieces, or contract. -
Mets (Tong) vs Cubs (Boyd): 9/24/25, 7:05pm

I heard Counsell's interview. He said it was purely precautionary, and they were optimistic about it. -
Bruce Pearl retiring. What do we think, medical, or avoiding the consequences of an investigation?
-
He's been far and away the best acquisition at the trade deadline for this team. There was a good chunk of people complaining about this team not acquiring a lockdown relief pitcher (yours truly included), but Kittredge stabilized the bullpen and has been phenomenal as a late inning relief pitcher.
