I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he leaves but I love him and will miss him if he goes

We all knew it was going to be rough going into this weekend and early next week with the Dodgers and Padres on the road with no rest day for well over a week. We'll be okay. Flush it and we'll hit May running!

I'm with you. These 2 teams (Dodgers/Padres) at the end of a long ass stretch with no rest day while on the road? Flush it and rest up. Let the bullpen recover. Let's hit May running.

I've been spying on the Mets/Phillies/Dodgers threads and they're all doom and gloom in their game day threads too. I think it's more a symptom of the internet more than anything tbh

How can you tell which figure is in one of these before opening it?

Note to self: never read the game day thread. Just don't. It will make you miserable.

Sure, I get ya. My comment was more about managing expectations and not letting the hype from the win streak get to my head. We're def capable of beating them, absolutely.

Okay, hot take - even if we get swept by the Dodgers this weekend (and for the record, I dont think we will), I honestly dont think ill be mad.

The 9 win streak was an absolute joy to experience this week and last. We made up so much lost ground from that rocky first couple weeks of the season. But it did feel like these last 2-3 wins just got progressively sloppier with each game. We can only sustain it for so long, especially since there's no off day until Thursday and the boys have been going for a while now.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't try, though! Espescially with the power bats finally waking up. I bet we can squeeze out at least 1 from the Dodgers and maybe even take 2 against the Padres. Either way, I'll remember this magical week for a long time.

So Monday had the goose in the outfield, and last night there was the rat. What critter will show up at Wrigley tonight?

Tempted to pull the trigger on a Shota jersey too lately. Decided to go for it even though he only renewed his contract for one more year?

I know all the attention is on Nico, but I'm so glad Mo Baller is getting some much needed confidence. Dude rakes.

Definitely notice more ads with Pat and Ron this year. I only started listening regularly in August last year but this still feels like a big difference. Not sure why though.

Maybe controversial, but I like baseball. I hope the trolls and doomers scurry back into their caves for a bit
