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.

I forgot it was on Apple TV tonight 🫤

I'm ready for some Cubs baseball tonight!

I picked UConn by 21…I was close.

That could be dangerous with all of us drinking free old styles for 3 hours. 🍻🤣

I'll meet you three at Wrigley if you can talk them into letting us sing it and get free tix!

Cubs win 8-1 after the 2 hour 51 minute rain delay. Took 2/3 from Dodgers and are now 6-3 on the season. Onto San Diego!!

Cubs in rain delay in bottom of 4th with Cubs up 6-0. Dodgers crying about playing in the rain after they are down big.

Not a gambler, just a hunch based off how good UCONN has looked. I think UCONN's defense will give pu fits. Whether it is 20 point win or not, I am not expecting a close game.

I am picking UCONN by 20+ in this one. Unless they have an off game and purdue has a tremendous game, I just don't see UCONN losing, or even a close game. 88-67 UCONN.

Cubs 5 game winning streak is over. Dodgers beat Cubs 4-1 today. Cubs wasted golden opportunity in the first with bases loaded nobody out and didn't score. Hopefully Cubbies win the rubber game tomorrow.

Nico had an incredible defensive play earlier in the game. This might be the most patient Cubs hitting team I have seen in awhile. Really refreshing to see that. I am enjoying that Marquee streaming (I would have went with MLB stream but I'm blacked out). I work from home on Monday, Thursday and Fridays, so I can have the game on in the background! 😀
