A Chicago Cubs Community
Since our last Dreamcast, we were really hoping that the Cubs could get something going on the transactions front. Alas, not only are the Cubs not doing much, neither is the rest of MLB. So we wait…and talk about some stuff we’d like to see before the weekend’s Cubs Convention: Continue reading Dreamcast 31: I Also Like To Live Dangerously
As the school year continues and baseball goes into hibernation for the winter, a slowly-recuperating Rice and fearless leader Anno get together to talk shop again… Thoughts on a splendid World Series, even if it didn’t involve the Cubs; Offseason moves that could happen to improve the Cubs for another Continue reading Dreamcast 27: There’s Always Last Year
Rice is still recovering from a bad cold, but we found some time to record a poorly edited edition of the Dreamcast to talk about the end of the Cubs’ 2017 season. They are still the 2016 World Series champions, and nobody will ever change that. Here’s what we discussed Continue reading Dreamcast 26: It Was Fun While It Lasted
Perhaps it was because of the grind from having to battle the Washington Nationals to the brink last week, but the Chicago Cubs have not been playing well all series long as they went down 0-3 in the NLCS. This is, of course, their third NLCS in a row, and Continue reading Left For Dead, Cubs Show Signs of Life
So it came down to Thursday night, as the Washington Nationals got some major fungicide to help Stephen Strasburg stave off elimination in game four. Thursday’s game was of course a winner-take-all contest, and so the pregame hope was that anything wacky that you might expect in any given baseball Continue reading Thoughts on the Cubs in the NLDS, 2017 Edition

Now that we’ve had a sleep to digest what happened in the second winnable game of the NLDS, let’s step back and see what we can do about the disappointment on Saturday night. After all, nothing screams fandom like hastily drawn narratives and knee-jerk overreactions. Shall we begin? The Offense Continue reading The Morning After: Mitigating the Cubs Narrative
After a long week of no Cubs baseball, I think we as fans are ready, and so are the players, for some meaningful baseball again: We're ready for tomorrow. #FlyTheW pic.twitter.com/HNt8W0cuEu — Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) October 5, 2017 Getting hyped! It helps that the Cubs have announced their rotation, with Continue reading The Title Defense Begins (UPDATE: Cubs NLDS Roster is In)
Every game started and ended around the same time on Sunday, the final day of the 2017 MLB regular season. As we look on to postseason baseball, in which every player on every contender knows they have a shot but also realize that a weird bounce or a hot bat Continue reading Cubs Season is Over; On To the Postseason!

That’s because on Saturday night, the seedings were officially decided, and Sunday’s games are just for the fans now. In the American League, because the Houston Continue reading The 2017 Postseason is Set
