Umpires Are Dumb
Let Craig and Nico tell you…
The 2025 All-Star Ballot is Here
The Cubs texted me to let me know the All-Star Ballot is now live, so with the season barely a third completed, we have to once again choose who to send to the midsummer popularity contest, or else we can abstain and hope every Cubs player gets an extended rest. But it is nice to have at least some representation, …
Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (37-22) at Wasington Natinals (28-31)
Nats park has been around for a good 17 years now, but I still have to stop and catch myself and remember that they don’t still play at RFK. It is/was a weird, ugly mound of concrete but oddly I’ve had the best hot dogs that I’ve ever eaten at a ballpark there. Thank you for coming to my TED …

Cubs Highlight Package 5/31
It’s been a bit since we’ve had a new post, so here’s a good excuse after a Cubs win fueled mostly by good pitching and defense (plus a bit of help from the Wrigley winds), before some late fortuitous offense. Ben Brown did pretty well after Drew Pomeranz opened for him, hopefully he won’t need that crutch forever but if …
Random Sunday Night Cubs Things
I’m currently watching the Knicks try to do something against the Pacers, who seem intent to give up their lead but it’s the Knicks so I guess that may be a challenge, just after the Mets beat the Dodgers. That means there is now a three-way tie for second best record in the National League between the Cubs, Mets, and …
Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (30-20) at Cincinnati Reds (25-26)
Yay, more divisional baseball! (physically drags axe away from grindstone). The Cubs face the Reds for their first series of the year this weekend, and will turn around to host them at Wrigley next week. While the Cubs are in their stretch of relatively weaker opponents, the Reds are definitely one of the tougher customers. Despite playing half their games …
Off Day Reset (5/22)
We were hoping on the last Dreamcast that the Cubs would make a sort of a run, and so far so good (albeit could’ve swept but for some dumb baseball things and the usual bullpen grumblings). As I revisited the preview I did before the season started (which still includes Japan even if we pretend that didn’t happen), I think …
