Texas? Houston? Chicago? They each make sense. Only JR can create a fanbase where fans will watch the other side. Cubs are a good team to watch only because they exceeded 2023 expectations. If anything it makes the Cub haters jealous. I've been watching the Marlins and Dodgers. Once i finalize mt divorce from the Sox, it will be a West Coast team. The Dodgers/Sox facility is down the street. I don't have the overpriced cable package to watch the DBacks and they are blocked on MLB.

His baseball stupid is still there, His base running helped them lose. I get the feeling in a season or two he will not remain in that organization, Cubs are into developing players not fixing bad ones.

I have family and friends with Astros season tickets but the Rangers, and their history of futility, seem to draw me in.
September 18, 20232 yr Still gotta be a favorite to get in with that schedule. Getting to play at Milwaukee will be a whole other thing as I am sure cub fans gobbled up tickets there. I know I would have if I was a cub fan. I can see that series being a pick'em. Brewers cannot hit and the roof removes foul weather.

The place will be more cub fans in round one. Cubs offense can beat anyone and is clearly the best of the four options. Cubs pitching isn't much but Steele gets them a game.

Steele tonight: 3.0 IP, 6 ER last outing: 6.0 IP, 6 ER the entire team is collapsing. but if they do manage to manage to make the playoffs, their offense can beat anybody
September 21, 20232 yr Uh oh center cut fastball 95 mph 8-6 Pirates had to start Keller for fantasy playoffs lol pitcher win in jeopardy too sigh Edited September 21, 20232 yr by caulfield12
September 21, 20232 yr Cubs fans were so confident Justin Steele had the Cy Young in the bag... whoops.
September 22, 20232 yr https://www.mlb.com/standings/wild-card/2023-09-21 Going to be tied with the Marlins and 1/2 game ahead of the Reds coming down to the final week Assuming a 4 run Pirates' lead holds up.
September 22, 20232 yr 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. Edited September 22, 20232 yr by chw42

I know the Brewers need to set up the rotation for the playoffs but I still think it's as important to knock the cubs out. That place will be 70% cub fans which my or may not be important. The cubs offense is better then the Brewers and in short series can outperform the them rather easily. Brewers pitching is stacked as it has been previously and has not worked out in playoffs.

With no game 163 anymore, Miami has the tiebreaker over the Cubs so I would think Miami has the advantage looking at those schedules. Reds could also go on a crazy streak like they have earlier in the season.
