August 9, 2017: Wrong Way
The Cubs have now lost 3 straight series. I was thinking one step forward, two steps back… or maybe like running in place, but then I thought of one of the Curious George books I read to my son, where … Continued
August 8, 2017: San Francisco Treat
It’s certainly not a bowl of Froot Loops, but that’s what I was enjoying as I committed to staying up and watching this first game of the road trip in its entirety in San Francisco on Monday night. I was … Continued
August 7, 2017: South Beach Talents
We’ve already seen this…all of this. The guy we love to hate took his talents to South Beach. The only way this is similar is the way I feel about Cutler. Nobody tops Lebron in the hate rankings, but when … Continued
August 6, 2017: Tables Turned
It sucks when it happens to you. When you blow a lead, and let another team comeback and win a game. That was the case Sunday in Wrigley, as the Nationals took the rubber game to win the series. The … Continued
August 5, 2017: 1130 Boys

That series finale versus the Diamondbacks looked to be one of those games. One of those games that we’ll remember for the rest of the year…for many years. It all started when the Cubs were down 6-1. As I left … Continued
August 2, 2017: Comiskey Park III
I like that name better. Who didn’t like the old Comiskey better than the new park, whether it be US Cellular or Guaranteed Rate? I attended many games at the old Comiskey back in the day. It’s not quite Wrigley, … Continued
August 1, 2017: Ready For Football
The calendar turns to August, and football is back on the brain; well, that’s the way it’s supposed to work I guess. The Bears started practicing, actually last week, in preparation of the 2017-2018 NFL season. I’m definitely not ready … Continued
July 31, 2017: Fine Tuning
The heavy lifting had already been done come the trade deadline Monday. The Cubs have their prized addition in Jose Quintana. The remaining wish list contained some relief pitching, a veteran backup catcher, and possibly another starter. We crossed two … Continued
