Right.

You know, and that, I think, is the biggest problem with this.

This whole thing does not have a hero.

There's nobody who you look to.

Yeah, and we all know where this started, and it started in 2021 with the Bears declaring that Arlington Heights was a must-have property that they had to buy right then and there and not anticipating all of some of the minefield and the obstacle course that they were going to have to go through to make that vision a reality.

And that's, you know, to this day, that's part of one of the missteps that's created some of the confusion and dysfunction that still exists.

Thank you.

Great call.

Great call.

And use that Duncan race analogy to put yourself in a very specific place.

You remember yesterday when I said that Game 2 of this series was the epitome of Cubs baseball in 2026.

Well, guess what?

Game 3 of this series, also the epitome of Cubs baseball in 2026.

It's been...

Not so much up and down as these violent swings of a 15-game home winning streak, and then an 8-game home losing streak, and then two 10-game winning streaks, and just lulls where they could not hit with runners in scoring position.

Then down 6-1, they come charging back, and in the ninth inning, multiple hits with runners in scoring position.

In fact, for the game, 6-for-10 with runners in scoring position.

Haven't said something like that in a very, very long time.

ultimate low of having a ball go over your head and you have no idea where it is and it's an inside the park home run to him coming up with not just the home run but also then the walk off hit just perfectly encapsulates

What this team, what this city, what this fan base has been going... I mean, remember, seven walk-off wins all at Wrigley Field.
