I used to love that show growing up.  Every Wrigley Field day game from 1pm to the start of the game at 120pm, there it was.  Harry Caray, Steve Stone, giving us that Cubs preview of that day’s game.  They’d show some … Continued

Raise your hand if you feel sorry for Lebron?  Besides the folks from Cleveland who resurrected their burnt jerseys and those lebron jock riders, I don’t see any hands.  “I’m losing to one of the best teams ever…boo hoo”.  You’re … Continued

Six down, five up.  Two under, three over.  What slump?  This homestand has served as a nice bounce back for our Cubbies.  They are heating up.  They will never lose again.  Haha. It certainly has been fun to watch.  Seeing … Continued
