Does anybody think it’s going to be any different in the playoffs if the Cubs and Brewers meet?

[Steve Greenberg @SLGreenberg]

Brewers deserve everything they get. They are beyond tough.

[Steve Greenberg @SLGreenberg]

Phillies lose. If the Cubs somehow win this game — can’t say I like their chances — they’ll be back in first in the wild-card standings.

@JRFegan Dick from Northbrook is good people.

[James Fegan @JRFegan]

Dick from Northbrook sent me an email after I got my new job asking for more “nitty gritty” stories about how the White Sox operate.

@North2North Served extra-fancy-like on a paper plate, too.

Other than that, it's a whale of a ballgame

[David Ubben @davidubben]

The stadium lights at Doak Campbell Stadium aren't working. The power in the press box is out. Officials are huddling on the field and the countdown to kickoff clock is paused.

Moving thoughts from Bears legend Mike Singletary about the passing of former teammate Matt Suhey.

I felt it in my chest when he said, “I’m really, really going to miss that light.”

@JasonLieser Well done, man.

[Todd Rosiak @Todd_Rosiak]

I asked the 2018 NL MVP what he thinks about the season turned in by the likely 2026 NL MVP:

@paulpressey25 @KeehnDoug @jasonjwilde Oh, man, I remember that one. Was there covering it for one of the student papers. Good times.

If you live long enough, your alma mater can go 9-35 while you're in school, then be really damn good for three decades, then totally suck again. #Badgers

@KevinKaduk I covered the first Rose Bowl season. Second year out of school, was 23. Good memory.

[Steve Greenberg @SLGreenberg]

@ctsbulls They're not gettin' it done.

[Steve Greenberg @SLGreenberg]

@ctsbulls Yes, you're old. Sorry, was that the question?
