I won’t rest easy until the Cubs’ season is in the grave. I’ve got too many Cubs fans around for me to risk letting myself get confident. Chicago delenda est.
-
Vaughn was not swinging at strikes that at bat. -
This has been tough for me to wrap my head around, too. There’s always been LA or Philly with something with like a +500 run differential, but this year, the field just looks so clear. It’s us and then everybody else.

Thanks to you and @LouisEly for reminding me. I assume there is some sort of carve out for Ohtani? If Roberts wanted to bring him in as the second pitcher of a piggyback start after he has already been in the game as a hitter, is that not allowed even for the unicorn?
-
I mean, apart from the question of the unwritten rules of baseball (somebody get Yadi and LaRussa on line one!), if Siegler is going to look that competent, why not keep using him when up by more than 6 in the ninth?
-
Nice to see Durbin salvage his batting line tonight!
-
Ok, the concern now is that someone is going to blow up an intercostal trying to swing at a 44 mph slow pitch lollipop.
-
My (many) Cub fan coworkers are starting to confide in me that they worry the Cubs are in danger of crashing out of the playoffs entirely. I dare not hope for so much as that, but ah, the Schadenfreude…
-
Yeah, you obviously can’t bottle this stuff and save it, one has to just take baseball fortune when it comes. But even if they are half as good as this in October, they should be right there against anybody.
-
I finally got home and flipped the game on. They were up 4-0 when I left the fields tonight, and I just got to catch Vaughn go nuclear on that hanger. Holy smokes!
-
Me at my kids’ baseball practice, noticing they’ve added a tack on run on Skenes every time I check my phone.

You are correct, I misread my notes. They were famously the first expansion team to win a title, they did not accomplish the feat in their inaugural season. I am amending my original post.

Just because I was curious... 1969 Astros were 81-81 overall, missed the postseason 1969 Mets won 100 games and the World Series (the first expansion team to ever win a title) 1977 Royals won 102 games, lost the ALCS to the eventual champ Yankees 1978 Pirates went only 88-73 in what was a down year for them that decade (they would go on to win the WS the next season) 2001 Cardinals won 93 games and were bounced by the eventual champ Diamondbacks in the NLDS (no tears were shed by me) 2015 Blue Jays won 93 games and lost in the ALCS to eventual champ Kansas City (who were managed by some guy named Red Toast or something, doesn't ring a bell) 2017 Dodgers won 104 games and lost the World Series in seven to the Houston Trash Can Bangers 2019 Astros won 107 games (despite no longer having the use of trash can percussion instruments) and lost the World Series in seven to the Washington Nationals So to recap, 6 out of those 8 teams went to the postseason (I feel pretty good about the 2025 Brewers sharing this accomplishment), 5 out of the 8 were eliminated in the postseason by the eventual champion, 3 of the 8 made the World Series, and only one of those teams won it, because if being a Brewers fan (and fan of Wisconsin sports in general) has taught me anything, it is this: The postseason sucks. Sign me up, anyway, let's do it again.

Well, if it is to be burgers, these Brewers are going to earn it these next two. But who can doubt it is possible? What can't they do?
-
The game of baseball is not supposed to be this easy.
-
Everything coming up Arnold right now. Hang on to Joey O at the deadline while everyone (including yours truly) thought we needed to swap him with someone—anyone? Joey is the clutchest guy on the team. All the NL contenders do more than we did at the deadline? That’s fine, we’ll beat your newly revamped bullpens. Unbelievable!
-
It’s getting to be where you can’t really call this a “run” anymore. At some point, you just have to accept this is a great team. I for one have been resisting that conclusion, but even my cynical side is getting worn down. Being a great team doesn’t get you an automatic pennant anymore, but it should hopefully get us a ticket to the divisional round, which is still something.
-
Runner on for the top of the order isn’t ideal.
-
Doubs’ hands and the midlevel defense not ready for the regular season yet.
-
That’ll do, Perk!
-
Lot of the plate with two strikes there, Megill.
-
Cardinals are pouring it on against the Cubs bullpen, it’s now 5-0 in the bottom of the sixth.
-
It’s already to the point where I’m surprised when Vaughn doesn’t get a late rbi.
