This may make me sound a bit like Art Howe (or at least how Moneyball portrays him) BUT, if the Analytics/FO wants to talk strategy before and/or often the game, I'm cool with that, but for those 2-4 hours a night, aka game time, the game has to be in the hands of the manager. The analystic/FO needs to remove themselves from in-game decision making. Otherwise, I would suggrest to analytics/FO's to put a uniform on and become a manager yourself.

It's too bad the Cubs couldn't have gotten a little more help from other teams heading into this final 6 game stretch.
Not that they deserve it or anything, but still would have been nice haha

So here we go..
Cubs have the Braves, while the Reds get the Guardians, Marlins get the Mets, and the D-Backs get the White Sox.
This is why taking care of business against some of those bad teams sure would have been nice. Per Fangraphs, the Cubs have a 57% chance of making the playoffs, and that feels a bit generous. I'd lean towards the Marlins and D-Backs getting in over the Cubs.

To be fair to them, they have helped the Cubs out a decent amount lately. But yeah, definitely not expecting much there.

Acuna gets 70 SBs and the Cubs lose. Marlins also lost and are tied 2-2 on the second half of the double header but this Cubs team is toast regardless.

Tim Wakefield diagnosed with brain cancer. Of course Curt Schilling, the biggest piece of shit ever, reveals it on a podcast. "Not sure if Tim wants me sharing this, but I will anyway" f***ing piece of shit.

Cubs being toast now hopefully doesn't undo what was otherwise a big step forward season. Actually get some talent this free agency and hopefully contend next year.

That Bulls jersey looks like it's from an unlicensed 90's video game. My phone autocorrected Bulls to bullshit and I feel that's more apt.
