Weekend's overall score: Yankees 28 Cubs 5.
Image
What was it like watching the Cubs get slaughtered by the Yankees this weekend? Like this. Right now, there are of course injuries especially to the starting staff. But in addition to that, the kids who've done well, didn't. And... Continue reading

About 15 of the next 77 or so hours will be Cubs vs Cards.
Image
This schedule is nuts! During the next 77-odd hours, 15 of them will feature the Cubs playing the Cardinals. 5 games (about 15 hours) in 4 days (96 hours minus today's 19 hours waiting til 7PM game time). I always... Continue reading

Patrick Wisdom with the clutch home run!

Maybe I should be happy I still have hair rather than complain about more of it turning gray. We were visiting up in Wisco, and spent half of game 1 of the Memorial Day Cub/Brewer doubleheader at a little bar... Continue reading

The Cubs are doing what they're supposed to be doing vs the Pirates.
Image
Game 1 vs the Pirates was a complete laugher - 9-0 shutout including Willson Contreras getting a salami as his 100th home run. Wade Miley... he's been around and we've all seen him pitch for the Reds vs the Cubs,... Continue reading

Tomorrow the Cubs will have 2 less guys on the active roster.

it's kinda like Jenga. Jed Hoyer's gotta push out two guys. And the question is... will this be about the future? Will it be about now? Will he just let it go and some current players on the roster suddenly... Continue reading

Hi Rich. It was the BEST way to crawl out of my winter cave. And yeah, we've been sort of blessed with amazing gloves over at 1st, and we'll see how Schwindel does. Rivas is supposed to be exceptional, too. After the Pirates, it gets REALLY HARD. Braves, Brewers, White Sox and Dodgers. If they can come close to .500 thru those, it'll be a miracle and you and me will be SO happy.

How much do you love Keegan Thompson, Cub Fans?

As usual last night, had some Cubs texting going on, and suddenly I sent this out: "Keegan Thompson is my current favorite Cub". Twice this season he's come in, gone for 3+ innings, shut the other guys down and got... Continue reading

Cubs travel to Colorado for Steele's 2nd start.

Well... 5 games into 2022, the Cubs are 3-2 and already have half as many wins vs Milwaukee as they did in all of 2021, when they were 4-15 vs Brewers. Last Saturday in his first start of the year,... Continue reading

BAHAHAHAHA! I saw one of the "Taken" movies waaay back when, and there was a part where Liam had to sprint on a dock. It was hilarious and looked like he could run about a 25 second 40. And now, a great second game, Rich! Only game 2, and the Brewers and Cubs are throwing at each other. Oh well, nine to nothin' with a kid pitcher in Steel looking so good is pretty freaking sweet!

Here's hoping Jed Hoyer's got a clear vision for the future.

Trying to remember a time when so many teams were incomplete at the same time. It's furious/crazy time identifying and signing players right now, and the Cubs are in the thick of it. Jed Hoyer.. he snuck in a couple... Continue reading

Mind numbing, 99 day MLB owner lockout finally over.

I have one of those mini wooden baseball bats they used to give away at Wrigley before someone realized they might chuck it at a Met outfielder. It's about 18" long, a small baton. And my brain feels like somebody... Continue reading

Baseball Lockout: MLBlah Blah Blah

If I were an editorial artist, I'd do the following illustrations about this STUPID MLB lockout that has a very good chance of wrecking SO MANY THINGS BESIDES MISSING A COUPLE SPRING TRAINING BASEBALL GAMES. I don't even know how... Continue reading

Hey Bud! I'm in your club too! Rich! Yeah Rodgers turned out to be kind of a sneak, and I wasn't expecting that. And trust me, I HOPE HE'S NOT A PACKER NEXT YEAR TOO! I didn't stop being a fan the last time they had a strike, and I doubt I would this time should it happen. But it sure is boneheaded.

No I do not want the Bears to lose. I'm sure you don't, either. But I do hope that Bears' ownership makes some drastic, meaningful and needed changes in their management. I was out by the grill listening to the... Continue reading

Hi Rich! Thanks on the art front! And so far the Cubs got a new backup catcher, Yan Gomes. Ex-Yankee outfielder Clint Frazier. And yesterday starting pitcher Marcus Stroman - one of the best remaining free agent pitchers for 3 yrs/71 mil. So... Stroman is significant! Fingers crossed on Nagy/Pace. And I thought at first you were talking about Packers stock! I think all you have to do is google "stock tips" and you'll be inundated with that crap.

RICH! All my closest Cub buddies want Baez back. There are so many shortstops available... it'll just be sooo interesting to see what happens. And the longer nothing happens, the more intense the angst will become. I don't completely agree with your Bryant assessment, but I know almost everybody feels like "something's a bit lacking." At least part of the problem is just the mountain of expectation we all felt.

Braves Win! Ex Cub Jorge Soler is World Series MVP.

Well. Would not want to be an Astros fan. It's like their team was either red hot, or couldn't hit a lick. People said they were "loaded", but... nothin' happened. Vaguely reminded me of another team, only instead of playing... Continue reading
