Marlins gaining ground today is a big win for them.

Marlins can blow this thing open.

Burger got ejected for reacting to an awful strike 3. Probably the quickest ejection I've seen for just reacting to a call.

Marlins threatening top 9. If they win that could be it for the Cubs.

Albies walks it off. My god those are back to back debilitating losses.

Acuna makes it look so easy. Went first pitch to get his 70th stolen base.

But I don't think they used the exception yet, have they?

It can work if we can dump Lonzo's contract as an expiring.

It's gonna cost them a lot more than that. If I'm Portland, I'd want the pick back and Patrick Williams plus whatever salary fillers make the deal workout.

I doubt Lucas is coming back here.

I wouldn't mind Bob Melvin as manager...

Watch the Pirates lay down next week against the Reds and Marlins just to give the Cubs a hard time.

You'd think the schedule favors them. They play the Rockies this weekend and then the Braves and Brewers next week, who will have nothing to play for and will probably want to setup their playoff rotations (especially the Brewers). Miami has the Brewers, Mets, and Pirates left. Brewers' magic # is 1 now I believe, so they may lay down if the Cubs lose one game this weekend. Reds have the Pirates, Guardians, and Cardinals. Padres have Cardinals, Giants, and Sox, but they're 4 back with 9 to play, so they basically have to go undefeated.

I really don't understand why we're trying to replicate the Kansas City Royals. How many games did they win when Perez hit 48 homers? That's not a model you want to replicate.

Yoan might actually be good in KC...or any city without a thriving nightlife scene.

Sure, replace one cooked catcher with another that's gonna make $42 million over the next 2 years. Just...why? Somehow, Perez has less WAR than Grandal this year with more playing time. That's hard to do.

Probably because Williams just released a statement saying he's resigning due to health and family reasons lmao

Williams also resigned this morning. https://x.com/rapsheet/status/1704588973765501404?s=46&t=4Jhrvx9TvRfUHd61OGP1VQ

https://x.com/BradBiggs/status/1704588396507611340 Bears beat reporters finally weighing in. It's not family or health related.

It has something to do with children.

They're actually worse. At least nobody on the Sox coaching staff got raided by the FBI (yet).

And soon you might have to pay for it just to see the tweet.

Damn it, I knew I should have put (yet) in my post.

Welp, I guess the silver lining to this is that they didn't hire Dayton Moore.

AKA...nothing will change.
