The Bears let it all ride on a kicker who looks just like the Cubs' Reese McGuire. It's the RECRAP sponsored by New Coke and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular. open.spotify.com/episode/3o6P...

Ryan Flaherty Expected To Be In Mix For Orioles, Padres Managerial Searches

Mike Shildt’s decision to step down as San Diego’s manager opens an eighth vacancy around the game. Cubs bench coach Ryan Flaherty could be in the mix for at least a couple of those positions.

Freddie Freeman now has 10 go-ahead home runs in his postseason career

That’s tied with Jose Altuve for most in postseason history

I had already written “Bad Moody.”

you know what tho, if jake had missed that, "moody blues" would've been a great headline for someone to use

Even happy Bears passing stats are sad.

What Joe and Troy didn’t tell you is that Bill Crosky-Merritt was ineligible at Arizona because he dropped all of his classes and the football.

Pointless Exercise @pointlessexercise.com · 1d

Every Bear is hoping to force a punt, except Jake Moody who would like the Commodes to kick a field goal.

Pointless Exercise @pointlessexercise.com · 1d

Cairo advising Moody, “Maybe try kicking it higher.”

That’s the Jake Moody we’re used to.

Thought the OPI on Loveland in the first half that ended in a FG was really soft as well.

I'll be there this Saturday in Georgia with a DFA Ian Happ sign.

I'm like 97% sure that Mike Shildt retired because he looked at himself in a mirror with his hat on and thought he was 75 instead of 57.

Cubs should bring him back to broadcast Cubs games. We could use the silence.

If only we could convince them to go find Ian Happ and drag him to the shore and throw him in the lake.

The number of fans willing to let Tucker go and put Caissie in is maddening
