It’s no secret that I would like to see the Chicago Cubs win the World Series.

Attending The NLDS, On My Couch
September 26, 2016
My last post talked about the fact it was time to register for tickets to see the Cubs in postseason play. Of course, I did that and had everyone over the age of 18 that I know who would do it for me do it as well. Just now, the Cubs sent me good news … More Attending The NLDS, On My Couch

I Cannot Believe The Cubs Did This To Me (And It Has Nothing To Do With How They’re Playing)
October 21, 2015
I’ve been a good Cubs fan all my life. I cried in 1969, I weeped a few times after that when the Cubs let me down, but I stayed with my heroes because I believe. And going into Wednesday night’s game down 3-0 to the Mets, I still have hope that the Cubs can pull … More I Cannot Believe The Cubs Did This To Me (And It Has Nothing To Do With How They’re Playing)
Believe
October 19, 2015
I spent much of the morning reading and answering e mails and Facebook posts about the Chicago Cubs losing to the New York Mets last night and now being down two games to zero in the National League Championship Series.

Hey, Tom Ricketts DOES Have A Sense Of Humor
September 19, 2015
The first thing I have to do in this post is gloat about the Cubs winning the last two games from the Hapless Cardinals. Did you see the game-ending catch from Addison Russell? Some pretty impressive stuff as the Cubs seem to be peaking at just the right time. But carrying on about how well … More Hey, Tom Ricketts DOES Have A Sense Of Humor
I’m Almost A Season Ticket Holder!
May 29, 2015
Back in the late 1990’s, I put my name on the Cubs Season Ticket Waiting List. A couple of years ago, during a period of, um, underemployment, my name came to the top of the list. And of course, I couldn’t plunk down the cash the Ricketts Family wanted for me to buy the upper … More I’m Almost A Season Ticket Holder!
Hey Cubs, Don’t Say I Didn’t Offer….
July 2, 2014
I worry about the Cubs. I worry that they stink, despite the last few weeks of decent play. I worry that their attendance is going to probably be down a million people from three years ago. I worry that the Ricketts family will ruin my beloved Wrigleyville neighborhood. This is the kind of stuff that … More Hey Cubs, Don’t Say I Didn’t Offer….
