The 2026 Chicago Cubs aren&#8217;t just playing a different sport; they are currently engaged in a clinical, historic execution of every other franchise in the league. On Thursday afternoon at the Friendly Confines, the Cubs completed a four-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds with an 8-3 beatdown, extending their win streak to nine games. But &#8220;nine games&#8221; doesn&#8217;t even begin to describe the psychological warfare happening at Wrigley Field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/HHtmhetaIAA0HEv?format=jpg&amp;name=900x900\" alt=\"Image\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">This isn&#8217;t just a hot streak; it\u2019s a statistical miracle. The Cubs have now produced\u00a0<\/span><strong class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">multiple nine-game winning streaks within their first 38 games<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">. The last time a team did that? The\u00a0<\/span><strong class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">1955 Brooklyn Dodgers<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">. For the non-historians, that team went on to win the World Series. We are witnessing the birth of the greatest Cubs team to ever wear pinstripes\u2014and that includes the 2016 legends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Wrigley Field has officially become a &#8220;No-Fly Zone&#8221; for visitors. The Cubs have won\u00a0<\/span><strong class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">15 consecutive games at home<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">, their longest stretch of dominance since 1935. It has reached the point where opposing teams look like they\u2019ve already accepted the loss before they even step off the bus. Shota Imanaga was a literal Zen Master on the mound, carving through the Reds with 10 strikeouts and looking like he was pitching a backyard scrimmage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">But here is the truly terrifying part for the rest of the MLB:\u00a0<\/span><strong class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">The Cubs are doing this while their $175 million superstar is sleepwalking.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0Alex Bregman is currently hitting a pathetic .240 with only three home runs. The Cubs are tied for the best record in baseball (26-12) while their biggest weapon is essentially a non-factor. Can you imagine the carnage when Bregman actually wakes up? This team hasn&#8217;t even hit its final form yet, and they are already treating professional organizations like Triple-A affiliates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Pete Crow-Armstrong is the new King of Chicago, Michael Conforto is a professional hitting machine, and the bullpen is a black hole where leads go to die. The NL Central is no longer a race; it\u2019s a coronation. The &#8220;Lovable Losers&#8221; are long dead, replaced by a ruthless, high-speed &#8220;Wagon&#8221; that is currently flattening everything in its path. If you aren&#8217;t a Cubs fan, you should be terrified. If you are, start booking your November parade spot now. History isn&#8217;t just being made; it\u2019s being rewritten in blue ink.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Major League Baseball, you might as well pack your bags and go home.
