June 9, 2014: The Hate Files III
It was a crappy Sunday. The Cubs & Sox both lost their games, which you have to get used to in a 162 game season with 2 teams that are mediocre. Still, it gets you in a bad mood. Then, … Continued
June 8, 2014: Fever
Fever can you hear me. Five was alive on Saturday. From the Cubs to the Sox to the Belmont Stakes to the Stanley Cup, the number five was prevalent. It wasn’t always a good thing, but it was there. Let’s … Continued
June 7, 2014: Streaking
In the immortal words of Frank the Tank, the Cubs are going streaking. The winning streak sits at 4 after yesterday’s walk-off win. It’s a very modest winning streak, but it’s the first one this long for the Cubs since … Continued

May 23, 2014: Sale of the Century
$27. That’s how much I paid for Chris Sale in our fantasy baseball auction draft. It took a lot for me to draft someone from the White Sox. Normally, there is nobody from the White Sox on my team. This … Continued
May 21, 2014: Winning is contagious

May 19, 2014: Happy Monday
Yes, we are blessed to have a great start to the week thanks to the Blackhawks. They beat the Los Angeles Kings in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals 3-1. Saad, Keith, and Toews scored the goals, as Crawford … Continued
