If he progresses as expected, this is a tremendous move by (and deal for) the Cubbies.

I hope he finally is able to leap up a scoreboard and steal a HR this year.
Scoop rules dictate I'm not allowed to be excited to watch Murakami
From ESPN:
"One (realistic) bold prediction: The White Sox improved by 19 wins from 2024's all-time disastrous season. ...... look for the late innings to get better and the White Sox to improve another 19 wins. "
;D

This is correct. And it should apply to more than just Scoop.

Would be very, very surprised if they do not.
Thank god they've had to trade their farm system away so if wear and tear or serious injuries grind them down teams will have a shot.
Wait, never mind. They just have the top farm system in baseball to replace any players who might miss time.
And a short drive north, Malibu has some very sandy beaches
The Athletic's Keith Law picks the Yankees, Tigers, Mariners, Mets, Cubs and Dodgers to win their divisions. He says the Orioles, Blue Jays, Red Sox, Phillies, Pirates and Giants will be the wild-card teams.
The Orioles, Tigers, Phillies and Cubs will advance in the wild-card round. In the NLDS, the Phillies will beat the Dodgers and the Mets will beat the Cubs. In the ALDS, the Mariners will beat the Orioles and the Tigers will beat the Yankees.
The Mets will beat the Phillies for the NL pennant, and the Mariners will take the Tigers for the AL crown. The Mariners will then win their first World Series championship.

All of which probably means the Mariners and Mets won't even make the playoffs.
Chourio going on the DL due to a HPB from an AB during an exhibition game ahead of the WBC so that's cool.
Skenes lit up by Mets and can't get out of the first inning. Peralta not exactly spectacular early on, either.

Brewers a gave up a lead off homer to the White Sox. White Sox fans can't even celebrate it and the Brewers season on life support already.
Phew! Brewers broke the curse of the flying L flag. Never thought we'd win a game again.

Worse curse? The flag or the Ben Johnson handshake?

Miz only went 5, pretty sure that's an auto-forfeit.

Glad we saved up all those runs from October for today.
BrewCrew offense looked exciting today
Quote from: Uncle Rico on Today at 04:28:06 PMWorse curse? The flag or the Ben Johnson handshake?
Definitely the Johnson handshake.
What's interesting is the Brewers have won a game since flying the L. The Cubs? They have not. Makes you wonder.
Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 04:59:16 PMDefinitely the Johnson handshake.
That's reeko's favorite.
Twins lost, and our season is over.
Anyone playing MLB 26? I have 25 and don't really need it, but I will probably buy in the next couple of days anyway. The game is just gorgeous. May need to play with a different team though.. Brewers may be it.

Again, I'm flattered but not interested. We all agree you need to live your life in the open, though. Don't be a Lindsay Graham, be proud of who you are.

True ... but it's still funny to see Skenes with a 67.50 ERA.
Rumors are that last weekend's warm weather got the Wrigley piss smell near midseason form already.
