MLB 2025

The Cubs clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2018 (not counting the short 2020 season)! The lineup is good, they just have to try and get Tucker healthy in time for the playoffs. Pitching is solid, too, especially now that Cade Horton is off to a great start. I wish they could snag the division--I hate how short the wild-card series are--but with a five-game deficit and just 10 games left, it's not happening.

Congrats to your team Greg!

Phillies took two of three at the ravine and pretty much crushed Dodger hopes (if they manage to win the division) of a first round bye.

Dodgers will at least split this series with the Giants after winning Kershaw’s last home regular season start in his career. He got a ton of love last night. Deservedly so. We’ll see how things shake out this coming week. They’ll likely play the hated Padres in the first round. That’ll no doubt be a wild series.
 
So the good news for us Dodgers fans is that they beat the Giants again tonight.

But the bad news is that after the swelling went down in Smith’s right throwing hand, films revealed a fracture. He is shut down for the remainder of the regular season. His playoff status is up in the air. Smith has had a wonderful year at the plate and has become a big threat to potential bass stealers. Not good at all.
