Every hitter goes through slumps, but what is happening with Swanson tonight is different. His decision making and situational awareness at the plate has been a joke.

That should just about do it. The highs this year were a blast for the Cubs and PCA was nothing short of historic. Nothing left to see here

Swanson, PCA, and Bregman have been absolute disasters for the Cubs at the plate tonight

Well I’m sure not having ABS challenges left won’t come back to haunt the Cubs.

PCA is absolutely pressing right now at the plate.

Just an attrocious at bat by Swanson

Really bad challenge by PCA, can’t do that in the first inning first at bat.

With the Republican incumbent in Indiana's #SD01 getting demolished in the primary after voting against redistricting, the Democrats have a chance to flip this Trump+7 district in Lake County blue. It's bluer downballot too, which should help. SLEW RATING: Toss-Up

This is the second professional sports team to release graphics of a new stadium in the exact area where the Bears currently play. Neither of those teams are the Bears.

I can appreciate King wanting the no-hitter. But they need to keep him fresh for the Brewers

This is the nicest way the Cubs could have handled this game for Cubs fans. Don’t blow a lead late, or god forbid win and then blow the series. Just politely and immediately get out of the way

Kyle Thele @thele.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The nice thing about the Wild Card round is it still doesn’t feel real as a concept. So if/when the Cubs go out unceremoniously, it just feels like they missed the postseason and we can all go on with our lives.

This is why I continue to insist that every political staff needs at least one Sports Guy* on payroll. You'd be amazed at the difference it can make. *Sports Guy can be any gender

No Bears roster moves. They did not place Caleb Williams on IR, a sign they’re hopeful he can return within four games.

The whole point in hiring Pat Fitzgerald was he had Experience and he could Win In The Big Ten. This was supposed to be one of those games where he made a difference. There is maybe one more win left in this season for MSU.

You’re telling me Jonathan Smith couldn’t have done this with MSU and avoid the embarrassment of hiring Fitzgerald?

Rivals/On3 has a new “tool” I guess you call it. The scouting site will now offer paid evaluations. I had some thoughts on the latest seismic shift in college athletics: www.midmajormadness.com/general/3662...

The Cubs have the most individually exciting player the franchise has seen in at least 25 years, they have gone on multiple 10-game win streaks. This season is noticeably less fun than years they completely miss the playoffs.
