August 28, 2019: Nothing Easy
Wednesday is becoming a new favorite day for me. For the next couple months for sure, I’ll be leaving work early; that alone makes it great. I pick up my son from school; another check. Then I get some more … Continued
August 27, 2019: Yu Da Man
Back to that question: if you had to pick one Cubs starter to win a game, who would it be? My vote was Hendricks, but if you told me that your choice was Darvish, I wouldn’t be mad at you. … Continued
August 26, 2019: The Final 32
I’m glad I was wrong… I thought the Cubs were already 2.5 games out, and now, with another Cardinals win on the Cubs off day, would be 3 games out. But NOW they’re 2.5 games out; I don’t know why, … Continued
August 25, 2019: Not Fun
Well, I avoided it as long as I could, hoping they’d finally win a game against the Nationals. Yeah, so what… you like rehashing losses? I don’t. But getting swept… at home… that’s especially not fun, and something we’ll have … Continued

August 22, 2019: Wandering Aimlessly
I enjoy searching for a golf ball that I’ve hit into the rough. It’s relaxing. Wandering aimlessly through the rough, finding every other ball in there except mine. That’s ok. When I’m done 5 minutes later, I’m up a few … Continued
August 21, 2019: Anybody Anytime
The Cubs are not going to lose this game. That’s what I said as this game see sawed back and forth. Not tonight, not in Wrigley. This team in Wrigley is who we thought they were. Anybody anytime in the … Continued
August 20, 2019: Good Cubs
Felt weird without a Cubs game on Monday night; so happy to have them back on Tuesday night. Especially happy to see them back at Wrigley; it’s the return of the Good Cubs. 41-19 coming into the game, the Cubs … Continued
August 19, 2019: Ready Eddy
I wasn’t really following the Bears kicking competition so closely. I knew we had like 6 guys at one point…ok, maybe 4-5. I knew there was one guy named Blewitt…glad he wasn’t the guy. Then there was two: Elliott Fry … Continued
