May 9, 2014: Back to the Future
This is what was supposed to happen. Finally, the Cubs take one from the Sox to avoid the sweep. I was sick of Sox fans coming up to me at work all day reminding me what happened the night before. … Continued
May 8, 2014: Draft Day
As we look forward to tonight, and to the season, I want to take a quick look back at the Bears illustrious draft day history. I would talk about who the Bears are going to draft today, but that would … Continued
May 7, 2014: Mama Said
Mama said there’d be days like this… The Wild got their 1st win last night at home, and pulled within 2-1 in the series. It was a lackluster effort by the Hawks, who didn’t seem interested in putting their foot … Continued

April 30, 2014: Silver Lining
Wow… tough way to go out. In a series I thought was going to be the total opposite, the Wizards knocked out our Bulls last night in a 4-1 series win. Being there only made it worse. The slow start, … Continued
