I wish they had showed any of it at all.

I cut off my MLBtv package long ago and think it was a mistake they chose a game not on WGN.

Silva scares me.

A lovely story:

One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who didn't whine, nag or bitch. That would be me....

But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.

Go Cubs!

I didn't believe it last August, but it turns out that love survives.

The link that you sent long ago...

This is weird for me

For the first time in months, I have no minor league games to follow.

I’m used to having the box scores for three or four games up as I watch an evening Cubs game.

I was going to say we have all been following a minor league team this season

but that would be an insult to our very good minor league teams.

Billy will probably have a few cold ones no doubt to make it to the 7th inning.

Lessee

Top 1 – 1 run
Bottom 1 – 2 runs
Top 2 – 3 runs…

I project the Cubs winning 82-81

I’m guessing we won’t need more than this thread for the entire game.
