After the Cubs swept the first series after the All Star break in Baltimore, they headed down to Atlanta.  Surprisingly, Atlanta has a pretty good record.  Seemingly in rebuild mode, their record isn’t that different than the defending champs.  At … Continued

July 16, 2017: Immediate Dividends

posted in: Cubs | 1

It was only one game, but damn.  7 innings of shut out ball with 12 Ks; I will remember Jose Quintana’s first impression as a Cub.  Immediate dividends. It topped off a beautiful 3 game sweep to start 2017 post … Continued

July 15, 2017: Back to Reality

posted in: Cubs | 1

Well, it was fun while it lasted.  I’m talking about the 4-6 year old Cubs that I coach every weekend.  If you remember, which you probably don’t, last Saturday’s game at 1130am (that is key) was our best game of … Continued

July 11, 2017: You Be The Judge

posted in: Cubs, White Sox | 1

This year’s All Star game was a bit different than last year’s.  It wasn’t one of the best pitchers in baseball from the White Sox starting the game.  It wasn’t an entire infield full of Cubs all stars.  We did … Continued

posted in: Cubs | 1

43-45.  Who would have thunk it?  The White Sox really played above their heads in the first half of the 2017 season.  Just kidding.  Nobody is interested in their record…yet. No, unfortunately that was the 2017 Cubs record heading into … Continued

The latest edition of the 4-6 year old Cubs is titled Coming Together. Our game this week was at 1130.  You see, I think that was the real key.  Most of our games have been played at 930am.  At this … Continued
