I’d give anything right now for a season remotely resembling the Cubs this year. With that said, it must be frustrating as a Cubs fan knowing that a lot of the team’s shortcomings could have been addressed by ownership.

Go Brewers

I’m starting to think this might not be our year.

How good is Jacob Misiorowski? I was always pretty skeptical of the Cubs “oops all 4th starters” rotation. At least the Ricketts get revenue from one more game tomorrow.

Oh ye of little faith….we’re back at Wrigley for game 3.

I just saw an article about the “Brewers Express” that will be running as a special version of the Hiawatha train tomorrow. It reminds me that there used to be hourly electric train service between Milwaukee and Chicago that would have stopped at Belmont Avenue, much closer to Wrigley Field than Union Station.
I know that CapFax readers are deep in the weeds of transit reform, so I hope we can remind ourselves that transit used to be frequent, fast, and convenient for all types of commuting. The Hiawatha is nice, but it burns diesel and is nothing compared to the variety of interurban options we had just 70 years ago. Let’s strive for better.

Let’s go Dodgers (applicable as Bobby Miller is from Elk Grove)

No shame in losing to the Brewers, who have clearly been the best team in baseball this year. Nonetheless, ownership and the front office are content with this being the team’s ceiling. You need pitching depth in the playoffs, and that costs money.

Not giving up hope completely even though this playoffs has me majorly questioning the whole front office and Counsel.
I still remember a Cubs team who found a way to win 3 playoff games in a row.
And if this is the end well at least the Cubs kept me going all the way to the Blackhawks season opener this afternoon.

Go Cubs go!

Will there be ICE at Wrigley tomorrow? Surely the Ricketts will be glad to have the extra personnel to help keep fans safe in our war zone of a city?

Dodgers/Phillies and Detroit/Seattle has been WONDERFUL. Exactly what I listen for.
Happy to see the Yanks get beat up on, and I know they beat Boston but I still think Boston was generally the better team. Anything can happen in 3 though and that’s the format. No special love for Toronto.
Don’t care about the Cubs. Love the ball the Brewers have been playing. And - how utterly demoralizing must be to jump out to leads top half of each game only for them to evaporate immediately. Don’t know a lot about the other post-season teams - but the Cubs could have been much more aggressive at the deadline, and they weren’t. That’s a choice!

I lived in Boston for a couple of years and the depth
of hatred for the Yankees by Red Sox fans was very impressive.

Andrew Vaughn OPS this year with the Sox: 0.531
Andrew Vaughn OPS this year after traded to the Brewers: 0.869
White Sox out here actively making everything they touch worse.

Many in Chicago have recently claimed that Milwaukee is a suburb, so with that logic, we’d still have an area team in it.
