Well, the Cubs are out of it. I can't help but think what will happen in the offseason to Ian Happ, Kyle Schwarber, and especially Addison Russell. Happ and Schwarber have always been in trade rumors. I feel Schwarber would probably be much better off with an American League team as a DH and occasional platoon position player. I haven't given up on Happ, though. If he could cut down on his strikeouts, he could be really good. The spousal abuse allegations and subsequent MLB suspension of Addison Russell leads me to believe that he has played his last game as a Cub, and I hope that is the case. As far as I am concerned, he will not be missed. Late season pickups Cole Hammels and Jesse Chavez apparently want to come back next year with the Cubs and I hope that works out. I also hope the Cubs go all in on trying to sign either Manny Machado or Bryce Harper in the offseason. Back to the present day, I guess I'm definitely wanting the Braves to win the World Series now (I've learned here, and on QSMB, not to say that you are "rooting for" or "pulling for" a team as it has a whole different meaning in Australia)

Keep up the great work, DF! You are making it through the roughest days and it gets a lot better.

Congratulations Gabes!

Well, the Cubs lost today's tie-breaker game against the Brewers. We are in the wildcard game now. I'm a little disappointed but after some of the really bad Cubs teams I've followed over the years, I'm always happy with a postseason appearance. I don't follow the rest of the MLB like I do the Cubs but I think the Brewers are definitely legit (although I really don't like them) Growing up in the south, though, I'm happy to see the Braves make it as well. Their future looks really bright.

Welcome aboard, Deanna. Congrats on deciding to quit smoking. It is one of the best things you can possibly do and you will be happy you did it. It is nice to have you here.

Awesome work, Linda! Congratulations on 2 months smoke free and thanks for all that you do here to help others.

^^^ You understand it now, @MwBenson all the things you thought were great about smoking are all a big lie. There is nothing good about smoking.

NOPE - smoking sucks!

Great to hear, Mark! Keep up the awesome work!
