White Sox reliever Jimmy Cordero threw at Willson Contreras last night because of a bat flip.

It’s been a really bad week for the White Sox, and last night made it a lot worse. (Stifles laughter.) That, and lots more Cubs.

Turns out, Anthony Rizzo told Willson Contreras to do something big if he hit a home run. So Willson obliged.

Day is a good day to clinch the NL Central. Lots of battling still happening at the bottom of the race, too.

The Cubs bats EXPLODED tonight, and Yu Darvish dominated.

Javy did it! He’s a switch-hitter now!

White Sox reliever Jimmy Cordero and manager Rick Renteria were ejected.

That’s four homers on the night for the Cubs.

Three homers in one night? What did the Cubs do to deserve this?!

That’s a three-run oppo shot for Contreras.

Kyle Schwarber waited for his pitch. This was nice.

Alzolay gets the White Sox for the season finale, Quintana will pitch out of the bullpen. Also, Marquez probably just isn’t ready.

The long-time Reds broadcaster was on indefinite suspension after uttering a homophobic slur on the air.

The small sample, the weird and challenging circumstances … but the terrible performance. How do you use that for projections and contracts?

The Chicago Cubs are already anticipating a hit to revenues in 2021.

Do not try this at home. Either the Brewers home, or the Cubs home, or your own home. Well, maybe your own home if you have a tractor.

Tonight is the only favorable match-up in this Cubs-Sox series. Also: what are we thinking of Alec Mills’ year?

This is setting up for the perfectly nightmarish ending.

Don’t get too high, don’t get too low and all that. Are you able?

The main group, some injured guys, a couple prospects, and alternate site guys.

Losing three in a row to this Pirates team merits contraction.

Seeing Marquez debut with his 100 mph fastball in the playoffs would certainly be hilarious.

Martinez left his last start with a mid-back injury, and it’s hard to see him continuing to start for the Cardinals at this point.

It was a rough year for rookies across the NL Central as a whole, and it’s not a surprise that the Cubs had no reps.

Name a Cubs player who isn’t. But Happ’s struggles coincide with some injury issues.

This series against the Pirates was supposed to be easy for the Cubs. That, some roster tidbits, and more.

The Cardinals got smoked yesterday by the Royals, and that dropped the Cubs magic number.

Alderson was a long-time exec with the Mets, so the reunion makes sense.

What a joke this offense is right now.

This would be really, really nice to see right now.

The Cubs’ third basemen are each dealing with physical issues.

There’s not an obvious option behind Darvish and Hendricks, so why not go with Lester, who has had so much postseason success?

One of the most infamous plays in recent Cubs memory, justifying a death stare from Rod Beck.

You do not see things change as dramatically as they did last night for Cubs righty Adbert Alzolay. It was a (literal) game-changer.

The Cubs have had to work to get to this first checkpoint, so why not celebrate it a little?

A terrible tragedy in the Dominican Republic that claimed the lives of three, and could see Cruz facing serious consequences.
