May 17, 2021: The Boys are Back in Town
I like that song by the way. It reminds me of when I used to fly back to Chicago from LA for a few days, and get together with the guys. I think of a future time, when we’re all … Continued
May 13, 2021: Finally
I must be getting old. To stay up and watch a 45 minute episode of Baseball Seasons took me like 5 times to get through. Every night I’d sit, lay down on the couch, and every time I wouldn’t make … Continued
May 7, 2021: Easy Peasy
It was a chilly, heck, cold, Friday afternoon in Chicago. I thought I could walk around downtown without my jacket; glad I had a hoodie on. It’s still a ghost town down there; I don’t know, maybe 10% of the … Continued
May 6, 2021: 93 Til Infinity
OK, I know I’m not the only one who remembers this album… Souls of Mischief… 17 years old at the time, I was certainly starting to get in all sorts of mischief back in 1993. The year in baseball, our … Continued

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
