August 30, 2019: Going Once
For the first time in years, maybe ever, I have 2 fantasy football teams going. We had the first year keeper draft last week. Love the concept of building my team for the long haul; hate the snake draft. It … Continued
August 29, 2019: Going Oppo
If you told me that you were not worried heading into New York after the way we played in Wrigley vs the Nationals, facing the guys we were going to face, on the road where we’ve sucked all year, I’d call … Continued
August 28, 2019: Nothing Easy
Wednesday is becoming a new favorite day for me. For the next couple months for sure, I’ll be leaving work early; that alone makes it great. I pick up my son from school; another check. Then I get some more … Continued
August 27, 2019: Yu Da Man
Back to that question: if you had to pick one Cubs starter to win a game, who would it be? My vote was Hendricks, but if you told me that your choice was Darvish, I wouldn’t be mad at you. … Continued
August 26, 2019: The Final 32

August 24, 2019: Luck Run Out
Saturday night brought some shocking news. Andrew Luck is walking away from the game. There’s been a lot of talk since that news was announced. There’s been a whole lot of whining about the boos he received as he walked … Continued
August 23, 2019: For Keeps
I’ve been playing fantasy football since high school, and for me, that’s a long time… over 25 years since I graduated. Yeah, back then, we used pen and paper, we went by the Chicago Sun Times game stats to determine … Continued
August 22, 2019: Wandering Aimlessly
I enjoy searching for a golf ball that I’ve hit into the rough. It’s relaxing. Wandering aimlessly through the rough, finding every other ball in there except mine. That’s ok. When I’m done 5 minutes later, I’m up a few … Continued
August 21, 2019: Anybody Anytime
The Cubs are not going to lose this game. That’s what I said as this game see sawed back and forth. Not tonight, not in Wrigley. This team in Wrigley is who we thought they were. Anybody anytime in the … Continued
