This is one particularly good example. Today this is a bike path, but prior to the car talking over it was economically viable for *private companies* to provide electric commuter rail to very not-dense places. So, density is not the only factor. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago...

Can we do Scorigami for back-to-back game scores? @jonbois.bsky.social

I will absolutely take a dumb Bears win assisted by a weird weather play

Bears keeping up their tradition going back at least 3 coaching staffs of absolutely nightmarish 4th & 1 execution despite having a better offense overall

Bullpen game on both sides huh

Not counting Wild Card games, this is the first winner-take-all postseason game to go 12 innings since Game 7 of the 1924 World Series. Walter Johnson, after throwing four scoreless innings out of the bullpen, was the winning pitcher in that one.

JOE BUCK: Welcome to the top of the 47th [Sun rises] [Sun keeps getting bigger] BUCK: yes [World engulfed by flames] BUCK: oh god yes

Cubs with the ol' Godfather III

Ready for Cubs-Brewers game 3

Cubs 2025 Postseason run

Bears making the playoffs was probably a pipe dream regardless, but definitely not helped by the entire NFC beating the entire AFC today

Not sure I believe Ron Darling that this game "means nothing" for the Cubs when Counsell said the bullpen was less than 100% going in and they're going to use all of their guys with length getting through this game

Cubs-Brewers 1st inning

Cubs

Cubs...

Preparing for Cubs postseason baseball where seemingly 80% of the roster is some combination of hurt and in a prolonged slump

Ben Johnson will almost certainly be more competent than Eberflus in the long run, but the decision to go on 4th & 3 and the fumble challenge which had no chance both looking like kind of dumb decisions right now

Bears...

Multiple celebs getting roped into betting app commercials

Cade Horton trying to single-handedly bail the Cubs front office out from not getting a top end starter at the deadline

Playing the MGS3 remake. They make clear during the Virtuous Mission that Snake is not supposed to leave any trace of his presence at all, but during the Snake Eater mission where both governments know what's up, it's not really clear what is preventing Snake from cooking his food.

DUCK DOWN, PUDDLES HAS LOST HIS HEAD (h/t @kwade.bsky.social)

Kinda funny that Fox used the coaches poll where OSU is No. 2 to justify the BIGGEST OPENER IN HISTORY marketing and then put the AP rankings where they're No. 3 on the score bug all game.

Cubs within 5 again...

If you're in Illinois, good time to fill this out and ask the assembly to fund transit.

5 against the Brewers in 4 days. It'll be fine. It's fine

Fox is sticking with this scorebug where it looks like somebody accidentally deleted the background layer huh

Really wish the Brewers were in any other division so I could admit they were a good story

Cubs about to be 4 back in the division

Woof www.mlb.com/news/michael...

Boos rain down from the crowd as I demand the entire 21 minutes be played before I start tossing my warm ups

The hell is going on tonight

Yeah, these games ruled

RIP to a real one

"One of the most clutch things you're ever gonna see" --John Smoltz during an event where everyone involved keeps repeatedly saying that they're just having fun

It's weird how much of a scandal it was when the All Star Game ended in a tie in 2002 when now it's just like "let's have a full conversation with the starting pitcher while he's trying to get Shohei Ohtani out"

Not what you want

Happy 4th of July, Batman.

This is like 4 or 5 years of the ghost runner on 2nd in extras rule now and it's still fucked up that you can win a game with a groundout and a sac fly. Absolutely cursed.

Let's check in on the Cubs bullpen

Got blindsided by a German translation today LMAO What a treat it can be sometimes to know both languages djwidhakdbejf

This is incredible

Needing 11 innings to beat the Rockies at home

It's weird how during the steroid era there was so much hand-wringing about stats no longer being sacred compared to now when any blowout means you get a free inning to pad your hitting stats with some random infielder lobbing meatballs over the plate www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore...
