The 2026 Chicago Cubs are doing something truly special—and they're making it look easy. With a commanding 7-1 victory in Game 39, the Cubs have now rattled off their second 10-game winning streak of the season. Yes, you read that right: two separate double-digit win streaks in just the first 39 games. That's the kind of historic pace that gets fans buzzing and makes you wonder if this team is destined for greatness.

For context, the legendary 2016 Cubs—the team that finally broke the century-long curse—reached 29 wins in 40 games. This year's squad will need at least 41 games to match that mark, meaning a series sweep would put them right on track. But here's the twist: that 2016 team dropped three straight after hitting 29 wins. If these Cubs can split their next four, they'll actually be ahead of that championship pace through 43 games.

Now, we're not ones to get caught up in historic comparisons. Every season has its own story, its own heartbeat. But when a team wins 20 of its last 23 games—with only one truly winnable game slipping away in San Diego—you can't help but take notice. That's the kind of dominance you usually see from elite NBA teams or powerhouse college basketball programs, not a Major League Baseball club grinding through a 162-game marathon.

What makes this run so special is the way they're doing it. Some nights, everything clicks—the bats are hot, the pitching is sharp, and the defense is flawless. Other nights, it's a grind. But no matter the circumstances, this team finds a way. They've turned "finding a way to win" into an art form, and it's a joy to watch.

As fans, it's easy to get caught up in the "what ifs"—comparing this team to past greats or worrying about postseason success. But right now, the best thing we can do is sit back and enjoy the ride. This Cubs team is writing its own story, one win at a time. And honestly? That's the most exciting part.

So whether you're watching from the bleachers or following along from home, make sure you're repping your Cubs gear. This team is giving us a season to remember—and you'll want to look the part while they do it.
