April 29, 2019: A Day Without the Cubs
I should be watching the Cubs right now. I know, they could use the off day coming off that 15 inning win. Still, a 2 game series in Seattle? Go all the way out there, and only play 2 games? … Continued
April 26, 2019: Don’t Call it a Comeback
I had watched the start of the game on Friday night…another rough first inning for Hendricks. I swear if he could only get those first three outs. When I got back, I had missed the Bryant HR and another run … Continued
April 24, 2019: Anniversary Trifecta
Of course I would fall a bit behind heading into my 5th year of doing this… Yes, that’s right, 5 years ago on this day, I posted my first ever Local Sports Talk blog. Hold your applause you lucky ones … Continued
April 21, 2019: Psychic
As I was saying, I read a really good article Saturday night about Steve Stone. I saw the headline; it definitely drew me in. It said that he believes he’s psychic. I was wondering if that was just a ploy … Continued

April 2, 2019: The Hate Files XL
Feels like a milestone of sorts for this feature. The big 4-0. Why now? Well, nobody played in Chicago today #1… that’s really the only reason. This one has been brewing for a while, but per the Hate Files rule, … Continued
March 19, 2019: Patiently Waiting
I’m patiently waiting for baseball season to arrive. Although I’m excited, very excited for the Cubs to begin, I haven’t really been following Spring Training. It’s pretty much always been that way. I guess because I’m still locked into the … Continued
March 17, 2019: Luck of the Irish
St. Patty’s Day…I’ve never really celebrated that big. If it coincides with March Madness, so be it. I wasn’t even wearing green; I had my Bears shirt on. And yes, I am a quarter Scotch Irish. Nah, no big deal … Continued
March 15, 2019: More LA
Friday was Showtime… but not the Showtime that ran LA in the 80s. Man, the Lakers have had some good teams over the years. The Showtime Lakers, Shaq and Kobe, back in the day Chamberlain, West, Baylor… even George Mikan. … Continued
