Ahh, but some of it IS GORGEOUS.
Like Javy's homer last night.
We'll be seeing more that's attractive as time goes on.
Ups and downs. Ups and downs.
I keep using that Piniella-led Mariner team that didn't have any downs.
Until the playoffs...

Javy's Hundredth Homer.
For some, this game was a life-saving miracle. For others, a nice win. Javier Baez knocked in 3 in the 8th to give the Cubs a 5-3 win that tied this 4-gamer with the Mets at 2 games apiece. So far in June the Cubs have won 2 series, lost 2 series and tied 2 series. They've lost games you thoug...

Thanks for such a nice message, Bud
For sure the future... it'll be something art based.
But this gif is purely a digital creation I edited on my computer.
I wish I could also edit last night's game.

Cubs end the rough road trip with a loss in L.A.
Well, at least the Cubs got into Kenley Jansen's head with Rizzo's huge game winning dinger Saturday night, and the Oh So Close rally in the 9th last night. Trust me, Jansen will be thinking about that come playoff time. Far and away the worst part of the trip was Kyle Hendricks going on the I...
That was one rough (or grinding) road trip, Bud.
2 wins?
Actually not worried about that at all.
I'm sick about Hendricks, though.

Cubs door still open for Ben Zobrist.
The door is still open for the Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series MVP, Ben Zobrist. Yesterday, Theo said that basically they've been in constant contact with Zobrist, that the door is still open, both Zo and the Cubs would love for that to happen BUT... Zo's top priority is his family, which is b...

The tone of your note here quite accurately reflects my current mood, which is probably best described as "star seeing".
WOOOO!

Cubs 9 Cards 4. Lester never panics.
This game did not start out well at all. We were there, a group of Cubs and Cardinal fans - they'd gotten an Airbnb about 10 minute walk from Wrigley. We'd gone to dinner the night before, we hung out in Wrigleyville all day, did tourist stuff, hit Uncommon Ground, Murphy's and even the Mordec...
Kyle Schwarber is locked in at the plate.

I went to the game yesterday (Saturday), and Mr. Lester was throwing his share of barely above 70 curveballs too.
This Cub staff is SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH!!!

Welcome back, Pedro Strop! Cubs 6 Rockies 3.
So many cool things have happened in the last couple days. Carlos Gonzalez. So doing a painting soon. When he made the full on sprinting catch and pulled his head up inches away from the bricks, got up and threw? This sounds weird but there are few things that immediately endear a new player (...
Thanks for such a nice note, Maris!
I heard the arm-hanging thing was the result of an injury, that hanging his arm out like that alleviated pain or something.
Anyway, I like ugly beards on relievers too. It really does add to the warlord look.

Cubs get Craig Kimbrel.
Man, that dude has one ugly beard. But I won't mind as soon as he takes over the closer role on our favorite team. Craig Kimbrel, pending a physical, is a Cub. Last night at 7:44 pm while watching David Bote have yet another impossible game with his bat (4 for 4 with a homer, a double and SEV...

And I have SO enjoyed the last couple days!
Hoping Lester keeps that up this Saturday v the Cards.

Cubs swept by Cardinals. Anxiety happens.
I'm certain you're feeling the same things I'm feeling. Anxiety. Stress. A need for whiskey. Getting swept by the Cardinals was like the one thing I hadn't considered for this weekend, but there you go. Lots of people are expecting Theo to do some kind of something to help the pen (see rumors ...

Rispicable: Cubs leave 8 RISP vs Cardinals.
Well, that could have gone better. Yu Darvish goes 6 innings giving up a run and 3 hits, but also 3 walks.. still pretty awesome and certainly gave the Cubs a chance to win. We're all angry at the crap calls from the ump. The ball 4 from Maples was heartbreaking and, even though I was out back...

I know.
It's like a bunch of Michael Wuertzes back there.
And even that's okay as long as you've got something to stop it all at the end. I don't think we'll have a giant choice this year, but something has to happen.
Man do I love that Cardinals story.
We traded laughs today!

I'm having trouble believin' Cubs relievin'.
First, a moment of silence for the great Bill Buckner. I had no idea he was ill, so... what a shock. Seems like I just saw him at the Cubs Convention... Next, it pains me to do a negative post like this, illustrating every quick bad headline I could think of about the current state of the Cub...

Yep. Keeping the faith, too. For sure they'll get some bullpennish help down the road. Or maybe sooner than I think. Also, yeah, I'm glad I have my phone so I can figure out who's on the mound.

Cubs 5 Reds 6. Bryant and Rizzo go back to back, but Hendricks doesn't get the win.
I was on production and missed a week of so much good baseball. Some giant home runs. Anthony Rizzo off the "d" on the Budweiser sign in the same game that Albert Almora hit his first Grand Slam. Yesterday Kyle Schwarber led off the Reds game with a massive long ball, and later Byrant and Riz...
That's funny, because I'm drinking and blathering about the bullpen, only ALL THE TIME.
Today's post is a tip of the cap to the 1-4 guys.
