October 24, 2019: Adjustment Return
The Bulls had their opener on Wednesday night, but that was also the same night as my son’s basketball game. So we missed most of the opener for our 5th game of the season. But before we get to this … Continued
October 23, 2019: Ross is Boss
I’m back sooner than I thought talking Cubs. On Wednesday, David Ross was announced as the manager of the Chicago Cubs. He was not my first choice. I was all about Girardi. I hope this is another case where I … Continued
October 22, 2019: The National Case
The World Series began Tuesday night in Houston with an unlikely National League participant. With the mighty Dodgers, the division champ Braves, the hot Cardinals, and the pesky Brewers, certainly the other Wild Card team from DC wouldn’t make it. … Continued
October 21, 2019: The Floodgates

October 17, 2019: Players Game
We’re moving on to the players. I feel pretty good about the talent provided from up top. I agree that Joe must share the blame for this year, just as he should have gotten credit for the previous four. But … Continued
October 16, 2019: Say It Ain’t Joe
Next level down is the manager. Not only did the Cubs have one of the best rosters in baseball, we had one of the best managers. I don’t care what anybody says, Joe is as good as it gets. I’m … Continued
October 15, 2019: From the Top
Before we start this excavation, I’d like to regonize the end of the Cardinals season. What a glorious crash and burn in the NLCS for the birds; I seriously felt like lighting up a stogie. Other than seeing my team … Continued
