Attention on the Cubs dropped to about zero yesterday, thanks in part to the losing streak and the early lead the Pirates took. But I think it was mostly because the Bears opened their season. They did so with a loss to the Bills, which sucks. It also sucks that without a few avoidable turnovers, the Bears probably win that one. Is there a Cubes equivalent for Bears? Beers?

Surprise: the White Sox series did not magically fix all that ails the Cubs. They will have to fundamentally improve over a much, much, much longer trajectory for us to feel any kind of confidence that they can actually get...
Maybe it's just my damaged heart, but it feels like weeks since the Cubs took an early, multi-run lead in a game. Thank you, Miguel Amaya for the third inning single, and thank you, Seiya Suzuki for the following homer:
It's a game of homers so far, with Seiya Suzuki's two-run shot getting it started, then Elly De La Cruz's three-run homer giving the Reds the lead, and now Christopher Morel's two-run shot taking it back. That's a dozen on...
