That was the most limp wristed ejection I’ve ever seen.

Let them fight.

I want to hear from the bettors who think the Rapture will come AND that Polymarket will still be paying out bets in the aftermath

Dansby Swanson is hot! And he's also hitting better

Cubs have placed lefty Shota Imanaga on the 15-day IL due to his left hamstring strain. Gavin Hollowell recalled from Iowa to give bullpen an extra arm. TBD how Cubs handle the rotation. With off-day Thursday, Cubs have some rotation schedule flexibility and could delay the decision, in theory.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is 23 years, 39 days old. The Chicago Cubs have 34 players that have taken an at-bat for one of their full-season minor league teams that are OLDER than PCA. Just 23 of their prospects at full-season teams are YOUNGER than PCA.

Something I’m really excited about but haven’t talked about AT ALL is that I’ve been commissioned to write a feature article for a major writing publication about why poets love baseball and what draws writers to the game. I’ve been diligently revising and it’s coming together!!

Imagine basing so much of your public identity on your adult conversion to Catholicism, only to be publicly dismissed by the actual Catholic hierarchy.

Fuck.

Is it good to get 5 scoreless from your starter and end up surrendering 10 runs?

It's very on brand for Marquee to be showing a hearing aid commercial instead of any pre-game coverage before the first game of the year.

Once again, it was not a mistake by Kamala Harris to stand together with Liz Cheney in the 2024 election. It's neither Harris' nor Cheney's nor the Democrats fault that the entire rest of the GOP has collapsed into far right authoritarianism & the Romneys & Murkowskis & GWBs are cowards.

The Vance/Trump gang-up on Zelensky has a lot of fans in the Kremlin.

This is apparently not a good week to have been traded for Kris Bryant.

Party of small government telling a municipality what it can and can’t do.

Hey Siri, what if the US had entered the war on the side of the Axis?

This is such a great move, truly. The Cubs haven’t had a legitimately competent bat who wasn’t expected to start every single day in quite a while.

Genuinely moronic piece, but emblematic of why so many "contrarian" and "dissident" writers have secumbed to Trumpism; the entire thing just oozes with contempt for the idea of defending existing institutions.

“At least 2,860 Chicago pedestrians or cyclists ages 1 to 19 [have] been hit by cars since 2021” Awful statistics about youth victims of traffic violence in Chicago, so much more work to do to make it safer for them to get around their city www.chicagotribune.com/2025/01/13/c...

*whispers* This makes total sense.

The Cubs have needed some kind of uniform refresh for so long. This is fucking sick.

This is how boring the playoff games have been so far this weekend

Exceptionally good read.

The worst part about Garland is that the Republicans stole his dream job from him (being a Supreme Court Justice) and he couldn’t even be bothered to exact a modicum of personal revenge by doing his actual job. Just absolutely no dawg in him at all. A complete feckless loser.

Thank you, Meta, for clarifying that no one can be called mentally ill unless they’re gay.

If you think cyclists or zombie phone staring pedestrians are distracted you do not want to see what drivers have been up to in their cars the last century.

Remember that dumb cat account that pretended to have sources in the Cubs?

Really thought the Cubs might be in on a Trevor Williams reunion.

Anthony Rizzo has gotta be sweating bullets right now.

Well that Tottenham game sure didn’t go well, let’s check how the Bears are do…

Guess Parades is sticking at third after all.
