I just accept that she will live to 128. she is like the female Montgomery Burns.

Cubs win 4-3 despite Neris giving up one run homer in 9th. Cubs desperately need a closer. Go cubs go!

I agree with you about the McCaskeys....as I think 99% of Bears fans do as well!

I'm getting the idea that you don't trust the McCaskeys. 🤣

They are asking taxpayers to pay half I believe…not sure that will fly. I am glad to get rid of the UFO toilet stadium whatever they end up doing.

Not worried at all about that nonsense. That sounds like someone trying for clickbait. As a bears fan I’m excited for Caleb to be a bear and all of the bears fans I know are as well.

Andres Galaragga was my favorite.

Cubs win game two of double header 5-3. Brown is looking good pitching, I hope he can be a solid starter for cubs soon.

Jed knew they needed more help in the pen coming into the season. Alzolay is not a closer. Cuas was terrible. He should have addressed this during the offseason. This is the stuff that drives me crazy with the Cubs...they are being cheap with the bullpen and they have money/assets that can at least somewhat remedy this, but Rickets/Jed holding onto those nickels.

Cubs need to get a closer. Just gave up 2 run homer with 1 out in top of ninth...now down 3-2.

I have so many autographed items...My last house had a full sized finished basement and I had items hanging up/on display everywhere. Now I have much less on display in my office. I was able to get a photo of me with Ryne Sandberg that we printed out and got him to sign on same series. Some of my highlights in my collection are: Jackie Robinson, Peyton Manning, Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, Ryne Sandberg, Cal Ripken Jr., Brooks Robinson, Fergie Jenkins, Bill Buckner (1st autograph ever when I was 5), Mark Grace, Walter Payton, Dick Butkus, Gale Sayers, Brian Urlacher, and way more...even Jimmy Buffett, John Mellencamp, and Dr. Seuss from non-sports 😄. To your comment about other people signing for a celebrity, I believe it was Pete Rose who said he used to hire little old ladies to sign his fan mail back in his playing days 🤣

Cubs WIn today after heartbreaking loss last night. They win 2 out of 3 against Arizona, to complete road trip at 5-4. Raise the W flag!

Not sure where to put this... https://sports.yahoo.com/former-cubs-ken-holtzman-dies-161605779.html RIP Ken Holtzman

This is the first year I’ve really started watching again since pre Covid. I hated the shift and I wasn’t sure about the pitch clock but I have liked it more than I thought…I like games ending under 3 hours for sure.

Just a friendly reminder that the cardinals lost again today 5-0 to Arizona and are still in last place all by themselves in the NL Central.

I thought he was out but I didn't think they would be able to show it was conclusive. I'll take it! Back to .500 on the roadtrip...I'm still irritated by that first loss in San Diego, but hopefully they can take the Arizona series before heading back to the friendly confines.

Double play!!! Onto the 9th

I'll take the check swing strikeout.

And Leiter has probably been their best reliever thus far this season. 😐 Neris can't get the ball in the zone. Not looking good.

I like Nico...his defense if phenomenal, but that is the second time he has gotten picked off this season...he needs to work on that...hopefully that doesn't bite us. I have a feeling the way the bullpen has been overall this season, Cubs will need a couple more runs.

Man...Assad was one out away from getting through 6 scoreless innings before coming out, now pulled after giving up 2 run shot...3-2 Cubs still.

I never had a great breaking curve ball. I had decent fastball, and good change up, that had lots of movement/drop that I used quite a bit more than most. I really wanted to be a Nolan Ryan/Roger Clemens type pitcher with the overpowering fastball, but I was much more of a location pitcher.

As a right handed hitter, I agree, I preferred right handed pitchers. I remember a couple of lefties that had the big sweeping breaking balls that I had a particular difficult time hitting. As a right handed pitcher, I much preferred right handed hitters though...

I was thinking I haven't seen anything from @mrflynn in awhile the other day. I saw Warrant is playing in Wabash, IN next week, so I will post this for him and hope he is doing well... https://www.honeywellarts.org/live-shows/warrant

Cubs Win! They needed that one after giving away the first game in San Diego when they blew an 8-0 lead. If they win today, they will be back to .500 on road trip. On a side note, I am tired of the west coast start times...I went to bed after 6 innings last night....I am getting old.
