The fact that CNN investigated, then tested the color and quality of the Reflecting Pool water more than the billions in fraud happening in states like Minnesota and California should tell you everything you need to know about the hacks that they are.
Staring down the actual Declaration of Independence before stepping into the octagon as an underdog to beat the piss out of an undefeated fighter in front of the world is an extraordinary level of legendary
The last cycle at Wrigley Field was from Mark Grace on May 9, 1993. There have been 12 cycles in Cubs history with Carson Kelly’s the most recent in Sacramento last season.
The very first one was from CF Jimmy Ryan on July 28, 1888 in a 21-17 win over the Detroit Wolverines at West Side Park. Ryan went 5-for-6 with two triples to go with his cycle. He also pitched 7.1 innings!
Congrats to PCA on history

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.

Bad strike call. Worse reaction from the umpires. Do better, NCAA, do better.
Smoking the hardest hit ball of your career (114.6 EV) to a section chanting “overrated” might actually be more disrespectful than telling someone to suck your dick.
