I pay a dollar a month. That’s worth it to me.

I guess.

Media and social media keep saying that ICE and related agencies are arresting foreign nationals from certain countries “by mistake”. Make no mistake about it: this is not a mistake. This is purposeful. They know exactly what they’re doing.

I think Gleyber may have been exactly the right kind of veteran to add to a team like ours. He’s a very good hitter, a professional hitter, someone the other guys would look up to as a guy with experience, but he is also young and still hungry and only a little ahead of our guys. I think that last part especially might make him a better fit than Bregman or Alonso or, for Pete’s sakes, Soto, or, yikes, Santander—all of whom were regarded as being so far ahead of everyone else in both proficiency and salary that any one of them might have been on his own island here. Maybe Torres sets a better example, because where he’s at now is more attainable as the next level for our guys. This is simply a hypothesis, so I have no facts or quotes or links to back it up.

I like this, and I am not going to share this with some Cubs fans I know, because they would be legit offended. They take things more seriously than this meme would require.

Taking two of three from the team with the best record in the National League is awesome, but shutting them out in the finale is a huge feather in the cap, and yet another notice to the test of baseball and the nation: we’re for real.

Well, whaddya know, Hanifee comes out and gets three outs with yielding a run. Next thing you know, Bresike is gonna come out and get three outs without giving up a run.

Well, technically, yes.

How did you generate this on ChatGPT? I mean, what steps did you take?

Riley got called out in the first inning on a nearly-as-ridiculous miss for a third strike. Cubs announcers are borderline apoplectic about it. Their response to Riley’s called strike? A smirky “oh well”.

Welcome to the Alarmist Non-sense side.

This is what “thin” looks like, baby.

Who’s going to do what about this?

They’ll start following the Constitution at the same time they’ll start following the Bible.

Not anymore, he’s not.

Three walks and a single and no runs. Almost as though Jack was trying to give them some runs. But man, what a wild catch by Parker out in center.

Call stands. Pete’s RBI attempt is thwarted.

Catches Suzuki looking, now we are in range of an inning-ending GIDP. EDIT: and Pete thwarts that, as if we were going to get him on the back end anyway. Happ looked out at the plate because the throw definitely beat him, but he might have slipped in before the tag. Hopefully inconclusive.

I swear, Chicago must be one of the gamblingest cities in the country, because literally every pod has at least one gambling commercial, and there are a bunch of different casinos that advertise here.

Inside-out double by Riley, which is how struggling hitters hit doubles.

Changing swing path might be the kind of thing that is exceptionally difficult to change during the season. A change that significant probably doesn’t happen in a single day, and he will be playing live games in between sessions.

That was a beautifully easy inning for Jack.

If that were the case, it could cost him his career. EDIT: I went with your supposition that it was Jones before seeing your follow-up post.

Yeah it is really getting to be too much.

I wonder whetehr that two-run Tork double goes out of the yard anywhere else?
