National League Division Series: Game 4 Thread The Cubs held onto an early lead to take game three and stave of elimination.

Freddy Peralta could start on regular rest for the Brewers, which would set up a rematch of game one of the series. &nb...

Moving along, game two of the NLDS begins at 8:08 pm central time on Monday, October 6. The Brewers will send Aaron Ashby to the mound to open things up.

He pitched in the loss to...
National League Division Series: Game 1 Thread The Cubs avoided a ninth inning disaster to hold onto their lead in game three of the Wild Card Series. They'll advance to an NLDS against the Brewers. The best-of-five series begins in Milwaukee on Saturday afternoon. Matthew Boyd gets the first start for the Cubs.

NL Wild Card Series: Game 3 Thread The Cubs fell behind the Padres 3-0 in Game 2 and could not overcome the dominant Padres bullpen, which put up 5.1 innings of one-hit pitching. That evened the series at 1-1 and forces a deciding game three. The Cubs will send Jameson Taillon out to start things on the mound. Taillon had a solid 2025 with a stronger first half and some uneveness in the second half. He pitched 6.0 against St. Louis in his last start, striking out eight, walking two, ...
a predictable media day,. but still worth discussing

2025 NL Wild Card Series: Game 2 Thread With the Cubs down 1-0 in the top of the fifth, Craig Counsell pulled Matthew Boyd from game one of the NL Wild Card Series. Boyd had only thrown 58 pitches and allowed a single run, but the Cubs had escaped situations with runners on third with some good fortune and good defense. A pair of defensive saves by Dansby Swanson kept the Cubs trailing by just one run. The top of the Padres lineup came around and Counsell called in Daniel Palencia. He allow...
Bulls have leverage in a veteran extension negotiation if they do it now
should be no surprise "our constant" is back for another Bulls run
details to come on how much the Bulls screwed themselves
the AKME era, purportedly about player development and needing to win on the margins, has eschewed an entire type of league currency
info on the known and unknown guys playing in Vegas
as the league buzzes with activity, The Chicago Bulls only provide entertainment through ridicule
they are so bad at trades!
no creativity or ambition either, skip
a lazy, cheap organization so focused on middling improvement needs Essengue addition to be substantial
they have their picks, they have their full roster, and they think it's trending correctly so why think we'll see anything significant?
on the worst "trying" team in baseball The Rockies, despite sweeping the Nats, are historically bad. They are on pace for 37 wins. There literally should be calls from the game to replace the owner because things are so non-competitive in Denver. The White Sox are in a similar spot, Reinsdorf aging into a worse version of himself as owner often do stuck with a "back in my day we didn't pay players so much" mentality, trying to squeeze every last dollar from the team for...
a new low, though their overall irrelevance works in their favor
objective observers: this is a major offseason for Chicago | Bulls: lol, lmao even
This doesn't have anything to do with the Cubs series. 1 of 3 from the Cubs is what should be expected and seeing Gore look like an ace again is great. However, we are in the "stats are real now" part of the season and last time we looked at the kids whose stats said real good things about them. CJ Abrams continues to be cool but I noted his propensity for extended cold streaks was keeping him from being special. That's not the point, he's still overall good. The only one with a real issue out...
the Bulls don't owe Giddey anything this summer, why act otherwise?
