There is one aspect of blogging that I have not been able to fully grasp. That would be timeliness. I could not pull myself together and organize my thoughts to write anything after the three-game sweep to the Dodgers. I would imagine that you were all experiencing the same feelings that swept through me.
How could [...]

My God.
I don’t even know where to begin. I became increasingly nervous about this game throughout the day. The last few days have been exciting.

Let’s hope that the tv-radio delay isn’t that bad for TBS. I don’t know about anyone else, but my delay varies from day to day and channel to channel. Now I haven’t made it a secret that I don’t particularly enjoy listening to Pat and Ron because Ron is hard for me to handle sometimes. [...]

Today, the Chicago Cubs wrapped up their regular season in Milwaukee against the Brewers. Earlier in the season, I expected this series to be epic, but the Cubs have had the division wrapped up for over a year. This series was still important, especially for the Brewers. Though the Mets have not lost yet, they [...]

Enjoy it, Cubs fans. For the first time since that infamous year of 1908, the Cubs have back-to-back division championships. This team is probably the best and most complete group of Cubs in my lifetime. Until the last few weeks, they have been the most consistent Cubs team in my lifetime. Throughout this season, if [...]

So here we are, halfway through the season. Actually, the Cubs have played 95 games, so they are closer to 60% of the way through the season. They sit 4.5 games ahead of the Cardinals and 5 games ahead of the Brewers. So, at this point, it’s a 67 game season and the Cubs are [...]
