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
October 14, 2019: Peeling It Back
Ok, I think it’s been long enough. The Cubs have been done for more than 2 weeks now. Do you still miss them? I do. I have been watching these Cubless playoffs, for the first time since 2014, and it’s … Continued

October 10, 2019: A Dog’s Life
I didn’t want to go. I knew that if we went, we would not leave empty handed. But no, my wife insisted we would just look. So we walked in… It was mass chaos. Dozens of dogs barking and barking, … Continued
October 9, 2019: In Game Playoff Adjustment
A while back, I talked about who I wanted to win and who I didn’t, in some kind of order, in these Cubs-less playoffs. Brewers lost in fabulous fashion to kick off the postseason, so I was as happy as … Continued
October 8, 2019: Getting Better
