The sense of urgency during long seasons is a funny thing because, you know, I think it's still important to recognize that we're, I guess, like almost halfway, right?

Yeah.

Still a lot of time left, but, you know, again, you don't want to fall into a trap of getting too comfortable when stuff isn't going very well.

I think there comes a time when you do want to turn it around, and it kind of has to.

But, yeah, I mean, I haven't really thought about it in that way, and I guess he's right.

We've got to do a lot of stuff better, and, you know,

take advantage of opportunities that are in front of us.

You know, Jamo goes out and throws six really strong, strong innings.

And, you know, two runs is a very reachable deficit for this team.

And, yeah, we got to do a better job of finishing the job that he did very well.

But, yeah, sure.

I think a wake-up call is a nice way to put it.

Caleb Williams has been announced the cover athlete for Madden 27, and he is the first Bear to be on the main cover of a Madden game.

So I ask you guys, do you like this for Caleb and the Bears, or do you believe in the Madden curse and terrified for this season?

Not sorry.

Of course.

I mean, do I get a half a second here?

I feel like I'm coming in to be a relief pitcher here for the Cubs.

Oh, I'm coming from the right side.

I'm probably clocking at about 62 miles per hour.
