  1. As Jersey stated earlier in the week, let loose with the post Week 1 overreactions/hot takes.
  2. Or maybe the Packers offense is.....good?
  3. Don't go out on a limb there. 😆
  4. Question: What happens when you package hits and walks together? What happens when you get hits with RISP? What happens when you face an untested/unproven starting pitcher, a top prospect or a no-name? Answer: 4-0 Brewers sigh
  5. Trying to win the rubber game in a series against a bad team is not really ideal. <sigh>
  6. I feel we, as Cub fans, say something similar several times each week.
  7. Tyler Dunne is no more a Packers fan than any other national journalist is a fan of a team in a city they worked for a period of time. He's been a national sports journalist for most of his career.
  8. Who's pitching for "Day off"? (like it matters)
  9. None of this matters for the Cubs if they continue to "hit" like they have for the past 2+ months.
  10. The offense pretty much sucks, and the pitching isn’t gonna carry the team every single night. They were never gonna sweep, and the won the first two. So it’s another series win. They aren’t going to sweep the Nats, so try to win two and move on. Wash, rinse, repeat.
  11. Pirates are a Paul Skenes start away from sweeping the Dodgers.
  12. The Reds were up 5-0 after two innings. Jays have scored in every inning since and lead 8-5 in the bottom of the 7th.
  13. Oh, and the Brewers put up a 5 spot in the first inning off Nola.
  14. I look forward to Tucker not playing for 6-8 days before the Cubs make a retroactive roster move.
  15. Elder has been really good in 4 of his 6 August starts (@NYM, @PHI, @CIN, NYM). He was lit up in two of his three home starts in August (CWS, FLA).
  16. Fun Fact: Arismendy Alcantara started his Cubs/MLB career going 0-4 with two Ks. He followed that up the next day by going 4 for 6 with a double, triple, 3 RBIs and 2 R scored. In fact, after the first game, he went 9 for 21 and was a legend (short lived) in the making.
  17. It wouldn't be post Week 1 in the NFL without huge overreactions.
  18. Don't necessarily like the "Busch Treatment" versus lefties, but since Councill is on board with this line of thinking, I don't mind PCA getting the "Busch Treatment". At least not in the interim.
  19. Jesse Morse, M.D. @DrJesseMorse Micah Parsons He’s dealing with a sprained facet joint at the L4-5 level. While still annoying and can be painful, this is much better diagnosis than a herniated disc. Given the amount of energy and force that he generates during his rushing attempts, this is likely where the majority of the translational energy is going from his upper to his lower body and vice versa. An epidural, where cortisone is injected into this area can be helpful, but often only a temporary solution. Parsons would benefit from some really good physical therapy, OMM, and eventually restrengthening the individual lumbar ligaments with stem cells. At the end of the day this injury is almost always due to a combination of multiple ligaments being weaker or injured leading to this problem. More annoying than concerning.
  20. Two 1st Round picks and DT Kenny Clark.
  21. Unfortunately, the Giants are using a pitcher to start against the Cubs. And pitchers have vexed the Cubs hitters for a month and a half.
