Eight days ago, I posted the Cubs' record. Since then, they have only won 3 more games, lost a few heartbreakers and had a day off. As it stands today, their Magic Number for the Division is 24, which they won't get because Milwaukee has a 6.5 game lead, and their MN is 11.

For the Wild Card the Magic Number is 10 and they have a 6 game lead for the top WC spot. I believe there are 17 games left so if they go .500 and the Giants lose a couple, they are in. The Cubs don't play a good team until they face the Giants in the last week of regular season. They finish up against the Cardinals, who could make a run for the last playoff spot but doesn't seem likely. They did take 2 of 3 from the Giants which helped the Cubs.
Meanwhile, the Bears managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I don't know what is worse: seeing them get spanked from the start or them playing good football for 75-85% of the game just to lose in the 4th quarter. We even had a pick six!
I will say this. The Bears looked better than last year even with all of Caleb Williams' missed throws. I think they will get better. Playoff Better? Not sure. Winning record? perhaps. I'm still glad that I opted not to buy any streaming service to watch the games.
