Hell of a comeback by the Cubs today, great to see for Carson

I really don’t care how many ABs Carlos Santana gets. So…yeah, I guess if Owen Cassie was just going to rot on the bench, no reason for him to. Alcantara can play vs lefties.

Like, yeah, the Bears likely aren’t a Super Bowl team this year regardless. If they’re at least competitive and Caleb Williams is the truth, at least we can have something to build going forward. We know where the weaknesses are. But man you can’t be a laughing stock.

Every Cubs big hitter going into an awful slump combined with what’s going on up north. It follows the 2020s Chicago sports themes of being totally absurd in a not good way. It’s so frustrating

The moves the Cubs made are solid in a vacuum. Not upset about those. But not getting a legit starting pitcher…that really hurts. Even getting Taillon/Assad back, those are mid-lower rotation guys. Really wanted a 1-2 type. I wanted to be positive, but it’s disappointing

Mike Soroka isn't the primary Cubs move, but it's an additional arm. xERA, strikeout rate, and walk rate are pretty good. This is one of those moves that doesn't look fancy, but contenders get these types of arms to shore up the staff.

It’s honestly kinda hard to try to put your chips in with a lame-duck POBO. So I get it. Jed isn’t perfect and I had some serious questions in previous years, but I think he’s done a lot of good within the perimeters he’s had to work with. Hopefully that worth is fully proven
