The vibes areโฆ not great on the North Side.
Pete is officially spiraling, comparing the 2026 Cubs to the soul-crushing 2008 playoff team, while Ron checks in from New Jersey with a more relaxed (read: suspiciously optimistic) Cardinals perspective.
This week:
- Cubs dรฉjร vu and why this season feels wrong
- Cardinals quietlyโฆ hanging around?
- The emotional economics of being a fan (low expectations = happiness?)
- Ron's MLB blackout insanity reaches new levels
- Is the NFL about to ruin its own product?
- Early All-Star debates (and why fans shouldn't be allowed to vote)
- A trade deadline reality check for both teams
Plus: Ron considers a live scouting mission to find Frank the Tank in the wild, Elliott is somewhere between Alabama and civilization, and Pete may or may not be one bad Cubs inning away from losing it completely.
It's mid-June, and the roller coaster is just getting started.
