No, the center of the universe has officially shifted to the North Side of Chicago. On Friday night, the Chicago Cubs didn&#8217;t just beat the Los Angeles Dodgers; they walked into Chavez Ravine, trailed by four runs against a pitcher who was throwing literal fire, and then proceeded to snatch the Dodgers&#8217; soul right out of their chest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" src=\"https:\/\/northsidebaseball.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/monthly_2025_12\/DansbySwansonMichaelMcLoone-ImagnImages.jpg.a742d2f6f0ff452dc7caf427b1b15889.jpg\" alt=\"Dansby Swanson Made a Bunch of Good Adjustments, but Has to Make More -  Cubs - North Side Baseball\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><strong class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Ten. Straight. Wins. The 2016 ghosts aren&#8217;t just awake; they\u2019re out for blood.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Let\u2019s be brutally honest: for six innings, the Cubs looked dead. Emmet Sheehan was treating our hitters like a high school JV squad, striking out ten and making the &#8220;Wagon&#8221; look like a tricycle. Jameson Taillon struggled early, giving up a 3-run blast to Will Smith. At 4-0, the Dodgers fans were already doing the wave and checking the traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><strong class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Then, the $177 million man decided the party was over.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Dansby Swanson\u2019s performance on Friday was a religious experience. First, he ignited the fire in the seventh with a clutch triple that cut the lead in half. Then, after Alex Bregman tied the game in the eighth (proving exactly why Jed Hoyer paid for a winner), Swanson stepped into the box in the ninth and launched a two-run tactical nuke into the California night. Boom. 6-4.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">But the real &#8220;Hot Take&#8221; that should have the rest of the league terrified?\u00a0<\/span><strong class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">The Cubs are winning with &#8220;Nobodies.&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">While the Dodgers rely on MVPs, the Cubs just got four shutout innings from Ryan Rolison and Corbin Martin\u2014two guys who weren&#8217;t even on the radar in March. Martin, a guy with a career 6.00+ ERA, just walked onto the mound and retired the Dodgers 1-2-3 like he was throwing trash in the bin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">And let\u2019s talk about the defense. Seiya Suzuki and Dansby Swanson didn&#8217;t just play ball; they committed a robbery, leaping at the wall and diving in the dirt to steal hits from our ex-star Kyle Tucker. It was poetic. It was disrespectful. It was beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">The Cubs have now completed ten straight comeback wins. They refuse to die. They are 10-0 in their last ten, and they are chasing the 11-game record from the 2016 championship season tonight. If you still think this is a &#8220;fluke,&#8221; you aren&#8217;t paying attention. The Dodgers are a collection of stars; the Cubs are a brotherhood of killers. The &#8220;Evil Empire&#8221; just got evicted from their own house. See you for the sweep.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Major League Baseball has a new &#8220;Final Boss,&#8221; and it isn&#8217;t the $700 million collection of superstars in Los Angeles.
