Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

So an interim GM duped Jed into trading for a pitcher who is mediocre and pre-injured? Seems on brand.
He’s right. They’ll move right to rotator cuff surgery by Thursday.
Soroka's average FB velo was 90.8 mph today before exit. In a month span, he went from 94.9 in an outing on June 22 to 90.9 mph in a start on July 23. Averaged 94.4 in June overall and saw that dip to 92.1 in July.

He said Sunday he felt it was "something that we can move through pretty quickly."

@pointlessexercise.com Where does Dan Serafini rank on your all-time Cubs felon list?

Get Beth Mowins back. She’s really good and it seems like JD enjoys working with her.
I was promised Boog.

Or more to the point, I was promised no Alex Cohen.

If something is really wrong with Boog, @watchmarquee.bsky.social, you're going to need to find an actual big league announcer to fill in for him.

Crane went on the air to highlight all the new revenue sources that they aren't using to reinvest in the team's payroll.
“We sold more of the cool jerseys in a month than we sold of those awful ones in three years?”

Who knew better things sell more?
At least he’s telling us how much more they sell than the Wrigleyvilles, so maybe cubs inc. will break even on jerseys this season.

With all due respect to Briar Cliff University, I think the Cornell alumna knows what she’s talking about.
Why is Cole giving Elise shit for her grammar? She did a read about their "Farm Report" show that ended, "Join Jim Callis, Lance Whatshisface and me." Cole thought it should be I. It's not. It's me. She wouldn't say, "Join I on the Farm Report show." He's a dolt.

World Series: Dodgers over Rangers

Happy #OpeningDay

@pointlessexercise.com What do you think Vedder and Ricketts are talking about?

@danbernstein.bsky.socialI I appreciate how you called out all the Cubs reporters for not asking Jed why the Cubs don't offer deferred money. It should have been a layup of a follow-up question. I hope you can ask Jed the next time you have him on.

Signing Bregman might actually increase the likelihood of a trade with San Diego because it makes Shaw and Nico more expendable. Do it!
The Cubs are linked to some good players. Will they actually get one or two of them? @tloxas.bsky.social and I discuss that, Cubs all-time pinch hitters and the Bears new coaches. www.pointlessexercise.com/podcast-shop...
Podcast: Shopping for old friends
The Cubs might not be done adding (they shouldn't be) and the Bears are hiring coaches
