NBA purgatory, true purgatory is rough. ESPN BPI predictions have 11 Eastern Conference teams projected to win 40 or more games. Race for the play-in and playoffs should be nice. Win prediction gap between #11 and #5 is about as big as the gap between #11 and #12.

Coming into 2020, the only player with 3000 PA and under a .200 BA was Bill Bergen. In the last few years, he has now been joined by Jeff Mathis, Mike Zunino, and Joey Gallo. All at least have a far higher OBP than Bergen. All over .250, Bergen under .200.

Counterpoint: I could care less who someone votes for in about 40 of the 50 states if they have a coherent left-leaning political stance. Someone living in California, Illinois, or tons of other states can vote 3rd party instead of a Democrat and it affects nothing. The electoral college sucks.

The Chicago Cubs were 13-17 in their last 30 regular season games. The San Diego Padres were 20-10 in their last 30 regular season games. The Cubs 2026 reflection should be zero on how they performed in their final 2 games. It should be that they were a BAD team near the end of the season, period.

The last time Case Keenum had a QB rating this good in a game, it was week 1 before the Pandemic for Washington whose team name was still a slur. Keenum is now on his 4th different franchise since that game. Donald Trump had yet to be impeached the first time. Disney+ did not exist.
