I love running The Bot™ (now in its 8th season) and will keep it going as long as I’m able. That said, it is a time commitment and has some costs. If you’d like to support it, you can at ko-fi.com/brentbutler

Go Cubs. ⚾️💙

Here's a weird quirk of the relatively new postseason format: the Cubs wound up with the 2nd-most postseason wins out of the 6 NL teams.

2025 Postseason Wins (thru 10/17):
9: Dodgers (so far)
4: Cubs
3: Brewers
1: Padres
1: Phillies
0: Reds

You have to hand it to the Brewers. Between inverting the colors of the L flag and their showing in the first two games of this NLCS, they've made it clear: they've really made the L flag their own. They truly do own that L.
