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 …
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 …

Things to Think on Another Cubs Off Day
I tend to think that, whether it was by design because the Cubs slipped someone a few dollars in the scheduling committee, or if they just got lucky, the regular Thursday off day has been pretty amazing to help keep players and pitchers fresh amidst the rash of injuries the team has to weather. I suppose we should be thankful …
Off Day Cubs Check-In 4/28
I was thinking about the season preview I did at the tail end of spring training, and as we look at the standings today, a day that the Cubs have off as they travel to Pittsburgh for another road trip that doesn’t suck as much as the last one (we hope), we find the Chicago North Side Baseball Club has …
Dreamcast 107: Easter Eggs
I forgot today was also 4/20 but I guess the Cubs came off their high already after the Friday and Saturday games.

That Game Was Dumb as Hell, Laudatory
Especially that eighth inning, I mean what the hell (dying laughing) I was pretty annoyed at the top half like everyone else, but the bottom half made sitting in traffic seem not so bad after all. Elmo broke Twitter a long time ago, but yeah that is one hell of a wild swing and a wild game that I’m glad …
Yet Another Off Day Cubs Haiku
A .500 West Coast road trip, a division-leading performance so far anyway despite this April madness, and also someone told me it was International Haiku Poetry Day, so… Gauntlet halfway done Cubs leading division still Unbelievable
