In my humble opinion:

Don’t cheapen out on starting position players or rotation.

Relievers? That’s where you can “find value” as long as you do it right and diligently. A vast majority of relievers are replaceable year-in and year-out, IF you find and tweak the right guys.

Blackhawks without Bedard….

Yeesh. Horrid loss

Age and positional volatility can make you wonder what Caleb Theilbar will be in 2026.

With that said, the resume overall is good: 3.45 ERA, 3.28 FIP, 1.15 WHIP and 324 strikeouts over his last 305 appearances.

Outside 2024, he’s been pretty consistent.

Hopefully Bedard is back in January

Bears legit could still miss the playoffs this year. But hey 10 wins is a huge improvement.

Great job the Bears taking care of business. Caleb looked good today.

Huge news from the Cubs org
The Chicago Cubs promoted Tyler Zombro to vice president of pitching, as @sahadevsharma reported, after Washington pursued him earlier this winter to be its pitching coach. Zombro is a rising star in the pitching ranks and will have influence in all areas of pitching for Chicago.

Oh yeah, if Bedard is seriously hurt I’m going to microwave my face.

Cubs got their funky lefty today

Disappointed but not discouraged. #Bears

The Bears fought hard after that awful first half.

Had the Bears scored there, either they go for 2 or force OT. Who knows. It's a brutal way to lose but at least they showed us something. Still hurts like hell though.

Onward

I’ll believe the Bears can match against the Packers when I see it. Too many years of wasted hype.

We will see how the rest of this Bears season plays out,

But if you told me after they started 0-2 that they’d be 9-3 and the top seed in the NFC heading into December, I’d tell you to stop huffing bowling ball lubricant.

Will Carson Kelly replicate his 2025 season at the plate?

Can Cubs catcher Carson Kelly replicate his 2025 magic at the plate?
After a career season, will Chicago Cubs veteran catcher Carson Kelly be able to sustain that production in 2026? That depends on a few factors.
