Everybody. You weren't down there, I was.
Please make this personal.
I ate the pizza. All by myself. Nobody'ell eats, eat the pizza.

Over the last month, Cubs hitters have made 66 outs on pitches in the heart of the zone while ahead in the count.
Roughly 3 outs per game on opportunity pitches.
See for yourself—here’s video of every one.
(Heart = pitch fully inside the strike zone, per Statcast/Savant)
If Alex Bregman was worth even half what Jed Hoyer paid for him the Cubs would have won tonight. Instead 150 million dollars to hit the ball of the end of the bat and strike out and big spots. It’s been weeks now. He has a 26 wRC+ with RISP before tonight. 150 million for garbage
I truly can't fathom Alex Bregman could have possibly been this bad. I couldn't stand him before the signing, but I figured he'd at least have 20 RBIs before Juneteenth...
Devastated to hear the news about my dear friend Stacey. Everyone knows about his incredible talent, but it’s his warmth, compassion & amazing sense of humor that I will always remember & cherish. Rest easy my friend. 🙏 💔
We're down to just one last day of afternoon show bliss. This break from LoHo has been more of a breath of fresh air than I realized.
The ease with which Spiegs works with McGuff and Russ makes me realize just how far short the regular lineup shows fall.

This happened during the Cubs vs Rangers game.
A grounder to first and the first baseman throws home to get the out at home plate.
Catcher applies the tag, the runner is called safe.
Replay clearly shows the runner is out. The Cubs challenge the call and are confident it is going to be overturned.
After replay, the runner is called safe! 🤯
How can the replay booth who has every angle in the book at their disposal (not that you needed more than one) botch this call after the umpire just botched it? Do people lose their jobs over this? Have you seen a more terrible call ever in the replay challenge era?
Bears Fans thinking TE3 is an insignificant position in a Ben Johnson offense is sending me.
This guy will be on the field 30% of the time. All it tells me is that they don’t understand his offensive philosophy
This isn’t a “depth” position
It’s a blocking specialist
Been thinking about this one... I'm convinced now that the Parkins/Spiegel/Tannehill/Riordan shows were peak Score. And it's probably not particularly close. Long live the #mob
