What does it take to build a bull pen? The Cubs keep getting leads only to have the bull pen give it back. It's like a football team winning by shutout and then they give up an easy touchdown and what people remember most is that lone touchdown. Fix it Theo! Stop building condos and pricing people out the of the neighborhood. You didn't do shit in the off-season but move people around like you're do something and act all self righteous about Addison Russel. You don't want to pay the manager who has you in first place again! Give him something to work with for crying out loud.

Much as it pains me to say it but it's time for Kyle Schwarber to go. Get something back for him in his prime since Jason Heyward is a lost cause we don't need two on the same team.

While the city burn in anger because of the fortunes of the once proud franchise but the Lakers are saying the same thing. Once proud franchise. None  of the teams drafting higher will improve but sell more tickets. One of the most talented drafts in years. Someone for everyone but what about the one you want?

Wrigleyville is becoming Boston west with the racism from emails by ownership to racist gestures on live television. I'm a life long Cub fan (thank you Jeff) but I have a bit of a gag reflex when talking about them.

Former division foes of color have spoke up about the things that would be shouted at them by Boston fans during games and there have been more than one player to state this. 

People, look at the race of the players on the field and look in the stands. There is nothing representative. Just because they're not burning crosses on your lawn...

For a weekend Cub fans are in a kind  of nirvana they haven't seen in years if ever. A bit of whoop ass opened up against the St Louis Cardinals. There is a feeling in Wrigleyville we're seeing the team weve been praying for: a team that is getting to be fearsome. Granted the ownership and front office are as scaly as lizards one cannot help but be excited over what they're seeing. Jason Heyward is pulling his usual disappearing act. Gives a little titillation to start the season but if it quacks like a duck... Still and all they're hot. Very hot. Hot like dream girl hot. And they can keep it up even Yu Darvish is tripping over himself on the field. But at least he's out there. Chatwood is respectable. I have nothing to complain about though I still hold my nose with the bull pen.

Leave it to Theo ball out hit your bullpen. Maybe we've caught the Cardinals on a bad series but they won't be this demure the rest of the season.  Realize about three quarters of Cub fans don't care about Addison Russel. Joe isn't foolish enough to put him in right away. They'll platoon him as they're doing well at that position. Glass houses people.

I don’t care what your brackets look like everyone wants to see Duke win or should I say Zion Williamson. I haven’t rooted for a Duke team ever in my life and unless the Bulls get the number one pick in the draft I might regret rooting for them now. How they weren’t part of the admissions scandal is beyond me. That people are surprised at the scandal more that they got caught. Wonder of wonders how the names end up on the buildings on campuses. And the laughable idea that somehow diplomas are diminished because of it. If your team doesn’t get the number one pick or aren’t in the top four or five teams to get into the lottery you’re watching for the other players your team might pick for need. Whoever gets Williamson might not actually need a big man but the pundits call him a generational talent. Not likely to surpass Jordan or Lebron in the conversation of the greatest of all time but they’re ready to put up a bust of him in the Hall of Fame. Since there is no NBA hall of fame but the basketball hall of fame do we need to parse between college or the Pro’s? I wouldn’t lock up the people who paid money for their kid to rip off some just as deserving or more deserving kid but the people who perpetrated the scam should definitely be behind bars. The shame of what these parents have done won’t be washed off anytime soon. So watch probably the best tournament in a decade because of so many teams are losing on purpose for the crazy level of talent in this year’s tournament regardless of seeding. But be sure college sports might never be the same. While the small state schools are struggling because they have a direction in their names Northern or Southern something or other and the education is just as valuable. I always said the NCAA was corrupt apparently so are the parents.
