It's a good day...

When we have 11 runs and 10 walks. This makes me a happy boy.

Jerry Azumah scored the last TD before they

redid Soldier Field? I thought McNabb scored the last TD.

Didn't realize the Cubs were in SD next weekend.

But don’t play in LA until August…. and also play in SD again just before LA. Strange schedule!

I’ll be at Petco for at least one next weekend!

Why was Soto taken out?

He’s not hurt or anything, is he?

No facing crappy Padre pitchers

is tiring him out.

I'm around

but still “working.” Plus, there’s not much to say. Let’s see… I LOVE Potbelly’s milkshakes. I’m having a chocolate shake right now.

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
