    *** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Rumors are he wants $500+ million and I don't see any way the Cubs give him that or anywhere close.

    ISU Ranked #21 in Preseason Coaches Poll

    We are 3-score favorites for a reason. I think most of these "its going to be close" are doing it for emotional protection. A top 25 team should win 99/100 times against an FCS team, especially in this current environment where the divide between the two leagues has never been wider.

    515 for sale

    One of my favorite local places. Good news is that it doesn't seem to be sales related (or that's the story). I think / hope that there is still a niche market for a place like this. Make good beer, keep it simple, be inviting and consistent, etc. Not every place needs to be a monstrosity...

    Feels like Tucker hasn’t done anything this summer so looked it up. .225 batting average 1 HR 9 RBI .662 OPS He had an amazing start but can’t disappear like he has…

    Dansby missing first base sums up the Cubs last month.

    Wait until after the 5 game series with them mid-August. They have to lose at some point, right??

    ISU Ranked #21 in Preseason Coaches Poll

    If we were a name brand that returned as much as we do after an 11-win season, does anyone believe we’d be ranked #21?

    ISU Ranked #21 in Preseason Coaches Poll

    Florida State getting 8 votes tells you everything you need to know. This poll is a popularity contest...nothing more.

    He’s now struck out 7 of his last 8 ABs…that’s a bunt 100% of the time with no outs and up one. Instead, he settles for some more garbage swings. Where is the manager in those situations??

    Mecca of MLB

    Been going to Wrigley for 25+ years. Was there two weeks ago for Cubs-Red Sox and got bleacher tickets…for $150 each. Wrigley is awesome but the Ricketts have sucked every dollar out of it these days.

    Would be nice is spring Tucker would start to show up. He was awful in July. Plus Seiya’s slump is really bad. Doesn’t seem like anyone is capable of getting a clutch hit right now.

    They can 100% compete without Tucker because they have a ton of $$$ to spend and will find a replacement. You mention the things going right but every starting pitcher except Boyd has been injured. Where does this “elite starting pitcher” come from? No one was able to trade for one this year…

    Really like Shaw’s defense. If he can be even average at the plate, he’s an asset.
