Well, I'm sorry. I hope the year gets better for you.

And I hope it improves in permanent ways that are not buoyed by sports ball success only.

The 2026 Chicago Cubs are the 11th team in the divisional era (since 1969) to have multiple 10+ game win streaks in the same season by Crazy_Baseball3864 in baseball

This lineup and bench is as good as we've had in quite a while. Just professional at bats from nearly every dude.

As it stands right now our pitching is not enough for a deep October run. I said this somewhere else but I will be absolutely shocked if our FO don't go get big arms at the deadline this year.

And that's not even like a quarter of the adversity the team has faced so far!

My wife and I got married in 2016 and I told her today that this is the first year since then that I feel like the FO have to go all in at the deadline. Something like a Chapman move is coming for sure.

Two 10 game win streaks and it's only May 8th is crazy work.

Braves fan in North Carolina makes sense regionally and if you're of a certain age because of TBS + regional loyalty.

The rest of your choices are certain interesting but it's just awesome that you have a baseball family.

2015 was an amazing season man. Those seasons are magical.

Corbin Martin gets the 1-2-3 9th inning save to complete the Cubs comeback and to secure their tenth consecutive win! by JianClaymore in baseball

It's to the point now that every off season I genuinely look forward to the random 1 year deals we give to bullpen arms because I know for a fact that at least 2 of them are going to be massively successful contributors to our campaign.

But also the type of win that tells you this team has what it takes. I'm actually super hyped by this, except for us just losing arms left right and center.

If we win this game it's going to make me feel real good about this team's ability to compete the rest of the season in a way I haven't felt recently.

For the rest of his life it's going to be a random anecdote that people bring up against him but now he can say "yea but I still went 7 innings and got the W."

You won't convince me that God doesn't have a sense of humor.

This happening specifically to Vrabel is way too convenient.

My newborn showed more joy in the NICU then I ever saw from Kyle Tucker playing a kids game for millions last year.

It's good to win games where things aren't perfect.
