The Cubs are playing as well as anybody in baseball again. Are they better than the Dodgers right now? Is Petecrow better than Shohei? Can they still catch the Brewers? So many questions. www.pointlessexercise.com/are-the-cubs...

Are the Cubs better than the Dodgers?

Right now? Probably. When it counts? That's something else.

The Case for Letting the Bears Go

If we can swallow our pride, letting the team slip across the Indiana border actually makes a lot of sense.
