I'm saying September baseball can be weird, sometimes in a fun way. Of course the Cubs can get hot, it is what makes September potentially fun.
-
September baseball does weird things. Mets can turn it around. The Reds can get hot. Who knows about the Padres, etc.
-
Not good enough to be an actual contender, not bad enough to get a top pick.
-
Which means this is still the same 83 win team they have been the past couple of years. Maybe Jed should stop trying to build the roster and give that job to somebody who actually knows what he is doing.
-
Two words: Jim Mora.
-
Oh well.
-
If the Brewers pull a 2008 Cubs, I am going to enjoy it for a long time. I hope they give us a Ted Lilly like gif.
-
It'll be awhile before the Brewers have this kind of run again. Let them enjoy it. By gawd, they better not slipped up in the playoffs.
-
I tell you what, if the Cubs do that in your post, I will give up negativity about the Cubs for the rest of the 2025 season.
-
Sounds like Dolphins players were fighting each other because of the frustration.
-
I don't disagree. Cubs feel flat right now.
-
They had a 6.5 game lead on the Brewers, although at a much early point of the season. This is the part of the season, imo, you either stack wins or you lose ground in the standings. The Cubs are allergic to stacking wins, so... Don't get this twisted, I want the cubs to make playoffs, but currently they are not convincing me they are a playoff team.
-
ATP, I am expecting the Cubs to play their way out of a WC spot. So the answer is no.
-
Yep. I can not wait for that portion of the fanbase to call him the next Neckbeard.
-
So they stole that nonsense from the Cardinals? cool.
-
Look at it this way, it is highly unlikely they will have this kind of run in them next year. They'll likely be a good team next year just not obnoxiously good.
-
Agreed. I also think the players were expecting a jolt at the deadline and were left disappointed. None of the players acquired are bad players, definitely are players that can help but like fans, players were expecting a spicy pickup up. The trade deadline can make or break a team.
-
When your team is starting to fight each other, it is time for them to see new faces. So come on down, Miami Dolphins.
-
That series with the Brewers will end the division race and most likely damage the Cubs WC chances unless the players want to put on their big boy pants and prove us wrong. This season is trending, to me at least, towards a bitter ending.
-
That is not the problem. Extending the winning streaks, is the issue.
-
Reds or Cubs?
-
Just get back to fundamentals and take it from there.
-
The pitching is not good enough to carry this team to the playoffs, so if the offense does not get going I am having trouble seeing a path to the playoffs. Boy, oh, boy I would not want to be Ricketts. Hoyer or Counsell if the Cubs missed the playoffs after the start to the season they had.

Make Fun of the Bears' Stadium Woes in Here
NorthsideAvenger replied to Outshined_One's topic in Other Sports
Are we sure that anybody on this site will be alive when the Bears get a new stadium? -
.318/,500/.409 173 wRC+ over the past week for Tucker. Only thing missing is the power. I'd say, Tucker is waking up. But Seiya and PCA needs to follow suit.
