I think you Cubbie fans need a primal scream or two.

Chicago Cubs 2026
When does the basketball season start.
This fall will the REAL challenge.When does the basketball season start.
How in the world can you decide which of these games to watch?
- Illini football on their way to the playoffs
- Illini hoops on their way to their first NC
- Cubs vs Sox in the World Series
- Bears amazing everyone on their way to 17-0 and a Super Bowl win
Gotta get that multi-screen thing going!
Exciting times indeed.
The days of primal screaming are over because they win consistently, but it really is more of an annoyance. They get to 20 over, 21 over.....then inexcusably throw games away. If they just finish off the games that were all but won, these games vs Milwaukee would have been absolutely enormous. Now, it's a matter of trying to secure a home playoff series. There's worse things in the world than closing in on 90 wins, but it just felt like they weathered the storm of injuries, we're getting guys back, had depth and we're ready to take off. They best the Sox 2 of 3, they go into Seattle and drill them in the first game, then the bullpen collapses for four games.
Its an NL where 4 or 5 teams can make a legit case for getting to the WS, so the margin for error is zero. If the Cubs were in the AL, they'd be considering resting some arms right now.
Don’t look now, but Bregman is on pace to have his best season since 2023.
And Suzuki has already surpassed his career best year (qat least in terms of WAR). Really hope he sticks on with the Cubs for a few more seasons.
Nice game by Taylor at the plate. He’s been a very nice addition.
PCA might get to 40/40 by next weekend at today's rate.

He's pitching in the 9th inning of a 17-5 game.
Wasn't good enough to pitch in the 6th yesterday.
After 17 what's the over/under on Cubs' runs tomorrow? 2 1/2?
We’d be invincible if only we could bank a few runs.
Exactly. Then a pundit will come out saying that it's been the best offense in the league because they averaged 9.5 runs in two games. They did the same thing last week vs Seattle.
2 more games to play. Maybe he can leave those slackers in his dust
he didnt lock up the MVP award yesterday, but a 3 homer game on a Saturday in late August helps ALOT
its his to lose at this point
No, a pundit might say it’s been the best offense in the majors because they’ve scored more runs than any other team. But to the point I believe you were trying to make, the consistency of the offense has not been good.
in the words of the immortal Ernie Banks "its home run or nothin"
That would be correct. Well said.
Still doing it with his arm, and he hit his 25th HR last night.
twenty-five runs in the first two games and we're 1-1... says it all.
