Parity year in MLB?

13 teams are all within 4 games of each other (30-33 to 33-28)

The Cubs have gone 6-19 in their last 25 games and are only 2.5 games out of the 6th best record in baseball

Wemby be like Justin Fields in the 4th quarter with this pass

[ESPN @espn]

THE FANS ARE IN SHOCK 😲

[Windy Conditions @WindyConds]

Haven’t the Cubs been trying to be the 2023 Diamondbacks and sneak in every year?

[Jesse Rogers @JesseRogersESPN]

Jed Hoyer on trade deadline aggressiveness: “Your World Series odds are probably going to be correlated to your odds of getting a bye and getting a bye is such a big deal…A lot of that aggressiveness is based on that ability to get the bye.” 1/2

The decisions about who will stick at center have been fascinating to monitor.

Frank Nazar immediately becomes an elite 3rd line center but should be in the Top 6.

Where does Moore fit in? Greene centering the 4th?

Kantserov/Bertuzzi/draft pick/Moore?/Lardis? in the Top 6?

[Ben Pope @BenPopeCST]

Kyle Davidson said the Blackhawks are designing next year's roster with Connor Bedard, Frank Nazar and Anton Frondell all at center.

That means in Frondell's case, "We’re working toward making his primary position center."

Bright side - Cubs are about to be on a 6-19 stretch and STILL be above .500 at 33-31

Climb out of this teamwide slump and the record will look pretty good

[Windy Conditions @WindyConds]

Yeahhh 16 runs allowed to the mediocre 25-38 Giants is a great look

Giants are boom and bust lately (19/2/3/1/12/16 in their last 6 games), so you have to hope they don’t show up the next 2 games

Welcome back to the HR Derby rotation, Edward Cabrera

[Windy Conditions @WindyConds]

We’re back to the comeback kid Cubs though, right? Right?

[Windy Conditions @WindyConds]

LOL Cubs are still in a massive rut until they’re legit out of it

[Windy Conditions @WindyConds]

Can the Bears still get shovels in the ground in 2025?

[Chicago Bears @ChicagoBears]

Statement from Chairman George H. McCaskey and President & CEO Kevin Warren:

The Chicago Bears of Hammond ™️

[Windy Conditions @WindyConds]

Can’t wait for Caleb Williams to win playoff games in Indiana

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

The Bears’ Board of Directors voted Thursday to advance the stadium development in Hammond, Indiana, with the exact to be selected. This is this first time that the Bears’ board has voted on any stadium site.

As one source said, “There is more work to do but barring anything very strange, it’s a done deal.”

@Cubs @ofcwrigleyfield @WatchMarquee @MotorolaUS Cabs back in the baby blues!

[Windy Conditions @WindyConds]

1-2 start to the Cubs “June swoon”

Blew a 4-2 lead in Game 2

Needed a miracle 4-run 9th to come back in Game 3 and avoid the sweep

Bring on the Giants!

[Windy Conditions @WindyConds]

Cubs don’t play a team with a winning record until June 26th.

0-1 start to their “June swoon”

Finally a really good Jamo start, and they just waste it

[Windy Conditions @WindyConds]

Pete Crow-Armstrong is still on a one-of-the-greatest-cubs-of-all-time trajectory

[MLB @MLB]

Wrigley Field has seen SEVEN walk-offs this year

That’s the most in the majors 🐻

[Windy Conditions @WindyConds]
