I decided to save “rapid unscheduled disassembly” for some other time when we finally see the Padres fire sale or something similarly spectacular, but we did get together just before Thanksgiving and after a very bad MLB decision occurred. Thankfully, in keeping with the theme of the holiday, nobody signed Shohei Ohtani right after we finished recording, so here we …
Goodbye, A’s
I get the messaging from the A’s and Giants now ever since I used the Ballpark App to get tickets when the Cubs are in town. As you know, the A’s and Oakland have been at loggerheads for a while, and somehow they decided that Las Vegas was the logical place to go. I’ll have thoughts on this probably when …
Championship Series, As If the Two “Leagues” Weren’t Just One MLB Anymore
And then there were four. The division series this year were pretty lopsided and not the way any of us would have thought, but in retrospect, that teams that got bounced, despite having the better seed, probably should have done more with their pitching. In further retrospect, I guess you don’t expect so many injuries or that much ineffectiveness all …
The Season Does Not End Today
The Cubs enter this week having won a hard-fought series against the literal best team in baseball. They also did, once upon a time, win another series against the current best team in the American League as well. They also lost a bunch of winnable series but at this point, if you look at the breakdown, the only bad month …
Everyone Else Can Go Ahead and Just Lose
As you may have heard even if you did not get up in time for the games, the Cubs went to London and split the series with the Cardinals. Here’s from last time: Per the division standings, the Cubs sit two games back of Milwaukee and are just 3.5 games back of Cincinnati. Thanks to the game they didn’t play because …
Division or Bust
Given the lull between games as the Cubs traveled to London and have to do their whole tour and marketing thing before the weekend games, there isn’t much in the way of Cubs news especially since they aren’t getting any players in the next round of All-Star voting anyway. We talked a wee bit about London and All-Star stuff on …

Dreamcast 62: That Milk Ain’t Clean
Rice, berselius, & BVS ponder the direction of these Cubs as they decide whether or not this year is a punt year or a go year. We probably talked about some of the stuff you were thinking, including: You can check out the podcast page or just click on the embedded players below. You can also use the sidebar to get to …
Dreamcast 61: Not Mad, Just Disappointed
Rice and Berselius hang out to talk about the disappointing Cubs after an encouraging start to the season, when they went 14-13 by the end of April but finish May with a 24-31 record, vastly underperforming their Pythagorean record. We did talk about some of the new rules and the ABS system on the horizon, and just generally shrugged because …
Dreamcast 60: Growing Pains
Well kids, the Cubs just got swept by the Astros, and the last one was a full blown bullpen meltdown just like in the old days. Berselius and Rice Cube got together for a quick record during the game on Tuesday and the stuff we talked about reared its ugly head on Wednesday, though it was nice to see Christopher …
