May 3, 2021: Turning Point
I’m always looking for that turning point in the season, where my team starts to play a whole hell of a lot better than they have been playing. It’s the same with all my teams, but with the Cubs, in … Continued
April 24, 2021: Kicking it Off
Back to that Friday afternoon game at Wrigley. Last week wasn’t so fun; this week though? Yeah, it went a little better. The Cubs wasted no time jumping on the Brewers putting up a 6 spot in the first. They … Continued
April 23, 2021: My Other Birthday
I didn’t even remember it this year, and the significance of April 23rd. To be more specific, April 23, 1994. No, it wasn’t a near death experience or anything like that; my brother just called me and told me he … Continued
April 22, 2021: A Firm Back End
OK, let me get this blog in before they go on a bad streak. If there is one part of the Cubs team right now that gives me the most confidence, it is… the bullpen?!?! Yes, the bullpen… how about … Continued
April 21, 2021: Taking Two Out of Three
Wednesday night brought us a full plate, with the Bulls, Blackhawks, and Cubs all playing at the same time. What to do, what to do… Normally, I end up sitting on the Cubs game until commercials; earlier in the season, … Continued

April 17, 2021: The Last of the 80s
I’ve enjoyed watching the Baseball Seasons episodes in general. When things aren’t going so well in current day Chicago sports, it’s nice to be able to go back to when times were better. 1989 was a very good year for … Continued
April 16, 2021: Ruining a Good Thing
OK, I’ve held off long enough. Damn do the Cubs suck so far this year. Another weak loss on Friday afternoon has got me pissed off. I was in a good mood. I had left work early. I got to … Continued
April 15, 2021: 1988
Keeping it rolling with the Baseball Seasons episode review… Up next, is 1988. Where were you when Kirk Gibson hit the home run heard around the world? I was 12 years old at the time, sitting in the living room, … Continued
April 14, 2021: Twinkies’ Turn
OK, I have a confession to make. Look, I really do love Twinkies, but… I think Zingers are better. I like the cream better, and the consistency of the treat, as well as, the icing on top. I’ve got a … Continued
