I am pretty sure PCA is the most fun player the Cubs have had in my lifetime.

That was the most limp wristed ejection I’ve ever seen.

Let them fight.

Polymarket betting odds for “Will Jesus Christ return in 2025?”

I want to hear from the bettors who think the Rapture will come AND that Polymarket will still be paying out bets in the aftermath

Heck yeah.

Where is this?

Dansby Swanson is hot! And he's also hitting better

Cubs have placed lefty Shota Imanaga on the 15-day IL due to his left hamstring strain.

Gavin Hollowell recalled from Iowa to give bullpen an extra arm. TBD how Cubs handle the rotation. With off-day Thursday, Cubs have some rotation schedule flexibility and could delay the decision, in theory.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is 23 years, 39 days old.

The Chicago Cubs have 34 players that have taken an at-bat for one of their full-season minor league teams that are OLDER than PCA.

Just 23 of their prospects at full-season teams are YOUNGER than PCA.

Something I’m really excited about but haven’t talked about AT ALL is that I’ve been commissioned to write a feature article for a major writing publication about why poets love baseball and what draws writers to the game. I’ve been diligently revising and it’s coming together!!

Oh wow that’s awesome.

Wow this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement. Pope Francis was absent from Vance’s conversation with Cardinal Pietro Parolin. However, the statement said there was “an exchange of opinions on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners.”"

Imagine basing so much of your public identity on your adult conversion to Catholicism, only to be publicly dismissed by the actual Catholic hierarchy.

Fuck.

Is it good to get 5 scoreless from your starter and end up surrendering 10 runs?

It's very on brand for Marquee to be showing a hearing aid commercial instead of any pre-game coverage before the first game of the year.

Once again, it was not a mistake by Kamala Harris to stand together with Liz Cheney in the 2024 election. It's neither Harris' nor Cheney's nor the Democrats fault that the entire rest of the GOP has collapsed into far right authoritarianism & the Romneys & Murkowskis & GWBs are cowards.

The Vance/Trump gang-up on Zelensky has a lot of fans in the Kremlin.

This is apparently not a good week to have been traded for Kris Bryant.

Party of small government telling a municipality what it can and can’t do.

Hey Siri, what if the US had entered the war on the side of the Axis?

This is such a great move, truly. The Cubs haven’t had a legitimately competent bat who wasn’t expected to start every single day in quite a while.

Genuinely moronic piece, but emblematic of why so many "contrarian" and "dissident" writers have secumbed to Trumpism; the entire thing just oozes with contempt for the idea of defending existing institutions.
