The Wife is taking a group of kids to an amusement park today, doing the roller coaster thing. I hope they have a blast, though a very small part of me has a pang of sadness – I’m really not sure I’ll be able to do roller coasters again (safely) after the back surgery.

Come on. It wouldn't be a Hector Neris save opportunity if the tying run didn't reach base. You didn't expect otherwise, did you? In a game that could've slipped away a couple times, the Cubs actually showed some life and...
Ian Happ gets some undue grief, but none of it has made less sense to me than this idea that he isn't clutch. Not only do the numbers just straight up disprove it, I feel like it's been ESPECIALLY true...
CUBS LINEUP — This isn't the place for the longer conversation I want to have, but I just can't believe this Cubs team. They really let a 33-year-old Colin Rea hold them to two runs in a game/at a point...
