May 31, 2019: All Aboard
I’ve been seeing a lot more Sox gear lately… they must be playing good again. The bandwagon is now officially open. If you’re a casual Sox fan, time to jump on. If you’re a Chicago fan, time to dust off … Continued
May 12, 2019: Son of a Mother
There is one thing that we all have in common. We were all carried for approximately 9 months before entering into this world by a woman… a mother. Yes, I know it takes two; sure, there was a man who … Continued
April 29, 2019: A Day Without the Cubs
I should be watching the Cubs right now. I know, they could use the off day coming off that 15 inning win. Still, a 2 game series in Seattle? Go all the way out there, and only play 2 games? … Continued
April 26, 2019: Don’t Call it a Comeback
I had watched the start of the game on Friday night…another rough first inning for Hendricks. I swear if he could only get those first three outs. When I got back, I had missed the Bryant HR and another run … Continued

April 3, 2019: Number Seven
No I’m not going to be talking about John Elway, Mickey Mantle, George Halas, Jody Davis, Victor Caratini, Tim Anderson, Toni Kukoc, Chris Chelios, or Brent Seabrook. No, this is about our new number seven. My son turns 7 years … Continued
April 2, 2019: The Hate Files XL

March 19, 2019: Patiently Waiting
I’m patiently waiting for baseball season to arrive. Although I’m excited, very excited for the Cubs to begin, I haven’t really been following Spring Training. It’s pretty much always been that way. I guess because I’m still locked into the … Continued
