📋 **GAME RECAP — Cardinals 17, Cubs 1**![]()
![]()
Five in a row. That's what Chicago walked into Wrigley with today, and let's be honest, it felt like this team could do no wrong. Fifteen wins in nineteen games. Swanson hitting like it's 1930 and he's Lou Gehrig reincarnated. The Friendly Confines were buzzing.![]()
![]()
Then the Cardinals showed up and ripped the good vibes right out of our hands. 17-1. Write it down, put it on the fridge, remind yourself in September why this game humbles everybody.![]()
![]()
David Peterson had absolutely nothing. Nine hits, ten earned runs — a career high, and not the good kind — in three and two-thirds innings. Nathan Church took him deep for a three-run shot in the second, and by the time Masyn Winn added his own three-run bomb, this game was already dead. The Cardinals piled up 17 hits as a team. Seventeen. That's not a loss, that's a full-blown mugging on Addison Street.![]()

Andre Pallante, meanwhile, made our lineup look like a JV squad — five hits, one walk over 5⅔ innings. Alex Bregman's double in the seventh was the lone bright spot, our only run of the entire afternoon. One run at Wrigley. The wind off the lake couldn't even help us today.![]()
![]()
Look, I've watched this franchise claw through 108 years of heartbreak to get to 2016. I know what a bad Friday looks like, and I know it doesn't define a season. This Cubs team is still 49-39, still very much alive in the Central race behind Milwaukee. But today stings because it snapped a five-game streak in the ugliest way possible, in front of our own fans, against the rival we least want to hand a laugher.![]()

Tip your cap to St. Louis. Then flush it. Imanaga's on the mound tomorrow, and this team needs to remind everybody — including themselves — who they are.![]()

Go Cubs. 🐻💙

**Blown Leads and Bad Blood: Guardians Walk It Off, 6-5**![]()
![]()
Five runs. Ten hits. Davis Martin cruising into the sixth. And somehow the South Siders find a way to hand it right back to Cleveland in the bottom of the 9th. That's the kind of loss that sticks with you on the drive home — not because the talent isn't there, but because for six innings tonight, it clearly was.![]()
![]()
Let's give credit where it's due first. Martin was doing Martin things early — efficient, in control, exactly the arm you want on the mound in a division scrap. The offense backed him up too. Ten hits through six innings isn't a fluke, that's a lineup squaring up a Cecconi arm that came in with real swagger after a five-start run of decent ERA ball. For a stretch tonight, this looked like the version of the Sox that makes you believe the rebuild's actually pointing somewhere.![]()
![]()
Then the bullpen happened. You know the drill if you've watched this team for more than a week — the pen's been the story of this season more than the rebuild pipeline half the time, and Cleveland made them pay for it late. A 5-2 cushion doesn't evaporate on its own. Somebody in that pen handed this game away, and if I'm the front office, I'm watching that late-inning tape with my jaw clenched.![]()
![]()
The kicker — walked off. In the bottom of the 9th. On the road. There's no version of that where it doesn't sting extra. Cleveland's been the measuring stick in this division all year, and blowing a three-run lead against your direct competition isn't just a loss, it's two games in the standings the way division math works.![]()
![]()
I'll say this, though, because it's true and because the South Side doesn't do fake positivity: a team that's dead in the water doesn't build a 5-2 lead against a team playing meaningful games in July. The bats showed up. Martin showed up. This isn't a "nothing's working" loss — it's a "we still can't close" loss, and those are different problems with different fixes. One's a talent issue. The other's a pen issue. Right now it's very clearly the latter.![]()
![]()
Doesn't make it hurt less tonight. Doesn't mean I'm not irritated watching a winnable division game slip away. But this ballclub has shown you enough this year — Gonzalez heating up, Vargas mashing, Antonacci scrapping — that walk-off losses like this read as a symptom, not a diagnosis.![]()
![]()
Sox lose 6-5. On to tomorrow.![]()
![]()
Go Sox. ⚾🖤🤍
Despite a lead-off home run by Sam Antonacci, the White Sox can't hold on to their one-nothing lead and fall to the Orioles 6-1. It's a series win and no matter what happens, we will start the Cleveland series tomorrow in first place!!!

Bulls Nation, 🚨🐂![]()

**Norman Powell is heading to Chicago** — a two-year, $45 million deal, with the second year as a team option, per Shams Charania. The All-Star guard is walking away from Miami and stepping into a Bulls backcourt that desperately needed a proven bucket-getter.![]()
![]()
Let's talk about what this actually is: **Powell just posted 21.7 points a night on 47/38/83 shooting splits** and made his first All-Star team at 33 years old. He's not part of the timeline with Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, and Dailyn Swain — he's here to make sure this team doesn't bottom out again while that timeline develops. This move essentially uses up the last of Chicago's cap room, coming right after they locked up Zach Collins on a two-year extension.![]()
![]()
Here's my take: **this is a "bridge the gap" signing, not a "build around him" signing** — and that's the right way to use it. The Bulls were 28th in points allowed last season and had zero perimeter shooting punch beyond Jalen Smith. Powell fixes half of that instantly. He gives Giddey a legitimate scoring partner and gives this young core cover while Wilson and Swain find their NBA legs.![]()
![]()
The risk is obvious — he's 33, he's had trouble staying on the floor the last few seasons, and a $45M outlay on a two-year-plus-team-option deal isn't nothing for a team that just traded away half its rotation in February. But structured this way? If it doesn't work, he's a trade chip again by 2027, not a long-term anchor. That's a shrewd piece of business from Bryson Graham in his first offseason running this front office.![]()
![]()
Add Powell to a mix that already includes Claxton, Buzelis, Wilson, Simons, and Sexton, and suddenly this roster has actual NBA talent on it again. Doesn't mean playoffs. Means this team should look completely different watching them in October than it did during that 11-game February nightmare.![]()

More as this develops. 🐂
Built a 5-2 lead. Ten hits. Martin dealing. Then the pen coughed it up and Cleveland walked it off in the 9th. Bats showed up, arms didn't finish it. Division game, gone. Hurts extra on the South Side. On to tomorrow. Go Sox. ⚫⚪ #Southside #WhiteSox
