May 27, 2017: Practicing in the Rain

posted in: Cubs | 1

I think this may be a regular feature going forward.  Writing about my coaching tales could be a once a week thing, right?  I’m sure you won’t mind if I do. It is Chicago sports after all.  It’s the grass … Continued

May 26, 2017: Heading West

posted in: Cubs | 1

The pizza is not very good.  There was this Italian Restaurant in Burbank that had ok pizza.  There was Cheech’s I believe in Los Feliz that sufficed for a bit.  I’m not ashamed to say it, but there were many … Continued

May 24, 2017: Don’t Look Now

Ok, ok…back to some Cubs talk.  You know I could do that every day of the season…you know I could do that every day of the year.  Don’t look now, but the Cubs are a half a game from taking … Continued

May 20, 2017: Coach K

posted in: Cubs | 2

I never liked Duke.  Not sure why…Coach K is from Chicago.  I was called Laettner by a few of my teammates when I hit a game winning shot.  I guess it’s just because they win too much, and my hater … Continued

I’m tired of all this talk about Schwarber.  Take him out of lead off.  He’s not a left fielder.  He’s a DH only.  Trade him.  What’s wrong with him?  What’s wrong with you? Take Friday for example.  First, he makes … Continued

One of my favorite songs…they played a bit of it on this Wednesday night’s broadcast of the Cubs on WGN.  I always have a hard time spelling it, but I certainly do like to reminisce. Seeing the Reds starter for … Continued

May 16, 2017: Another Debut

posted in: Cubs | 1

We’re really getting spoiled.  The hits just keep on coming.  I guess it all started during the 2011 draft. It was Jim Hendry’s last draft and the first round pick that year was Javier Baez.  I’m thankful to Hendry for … Continued

I always enjoyed that tidbit in the Sun Times sports section growing up.  I always enjoyed reading what happened on this day in sports history.  I still like that today.  I like when this info is mixed into a broadcast; … Continued

May 14, 2017: Back to the Grind

posted in: Cubs | 1

Yeah, after Friday’s game, it was more of the stuff we’ve been seeing from the Cubs.  St. Louis came back and won the next 2 games, getting that series win, and putting the Cubs 1 game under 500.  This season … Continued

May 13, 2017: Bringing Home the W

posted in: Cubs | 1

We missed the first home run.  We were on a nacho run, and the line was ridiculously long.  They weren’t particularly in any hurry either.  We decided to wait in the line once my son found 2 buddies to run … Continued
