December 7, 2015: A Case of the Mondays
It was fun while it lasted… enough of that. After the win over Green Bay on Thanksgiving, we had a week and a half to enjoy (by the way, that joy will never go away). We had a week and … Continued
December 6, 2015: The Splash
John Lackey? Alex Avila? Dioner Navarro? Rex Brothers? Anybody see that big splash yet? Let’s start with Lackey. Not sure about you, but going into this offseason, I was expecting another ace. Price, Greinke, Zimmerman and then maybe another like … Continued
December 3, 2015: Streaks
No, not the ones in your underwear. It’s Blackjack time baby. 21. The point streak continues. The Blackhawks lost again, but the Patrick Kane point streak is alive and well. Yeah! Well it ain’t good they’re losing, but we know … Continued
December 2, 2015: 31 Million

November 3, 2015: The Hate Files XIX
4 months… 4 months since the last Hate File. I’m really not that hateful of a person… I’m really not. But when it comes to my teams, I hate pretty quickly, but you all know this. Take for example the … Continued
November 2, 2015: Crystal Ball

October 29, 2015: Fun While It Lasted
Well, until Thursday night, Chicago teams were perfect since the Cubs got knocked out. That definitely helps in the recovery process, although honestly it hasn’t been that bad. Blackhawks were on a three game winning streak. A win over the … Continued
