Maybe the #Cubs rally.
But more times than not, they play an old & tired brand of baseball.
We watch & hope but it’s a chore tuning in these days.
This may be a hot take, but following many travels, I've determined that THIS is the Midwest.
Dakotas are amazing, but are nothing like the Midwest.
Missouri feels more like a Southern state than Midwest.
Kentucky is more like Tennessee and Virginia than the Midwest.

The Cubs are the only team with multiple players in the top 10
Couple of radio calls for ya…
1. Absolutely vintage Pat Hughes on Pete Crow-Armstrong’s game-tying home run in the ninth inning.
2. Pat’s call of Michael Busch’s hit and the sequence that let Dansby Swanson score the game-winning run.
Cubs win, 3-2.

Thursday confession- Say what you want about @ChicagosMayor, but the man's ability to blame everything on earth except the actual cause of the problem- for every problem on earth, and then somehow convince himself he nailed it, is honestly a skill. And you can't teach that.
This guy could stub his toe on a coffee table and blame systemic disinvestment, and then believe it. Honestly starting to respect the commitment.
Can the @Cubs and @IowaCubs just swap rosters for a week or two. Iowas whole roster comes up the bigs. The big league squad goes and resets/gets right in Iowa.
