Forced Hiatus

Dear Old Style fans, Cub fans, and Old Style Cubs fans,
I’ve arrived safely in Madison, Wisconsin, but unfortunately, I won’t have my internet access set up until the 18th of August. This means I’ll have to rely on the patience of the Panera staff to be online for any extended period of time, which will […]

Moving
Posted by Mike J. | 9:51 am | Old Style Posts | Comments: 0
Not the website, but myself. I’ll be spending the weekend relocating to Madison, Wisconsin and starting a job on Monday, which means I’ll be quite a bit farther from Wrigley Field and probably catch fewer games on TV. I’ll try and get myself back to the blog on Monday, but that will also depend on […]

Yes, I Am Dumb

Keeping this short today for two reasons: I didn’t watch all of last night’s game that started 3 hours late, and I burned my thumb with bacon grease.
What I will mention is, of course, that Maddux got his 3,000th strikeout in this morning’s loss and Matt Clement got more than he bargained for, getting hit […]

A Thing Of Beauty

7 innings into last night’s game, I had tossed aside any notion of momentum as the Cubs trailed 2-1 to the Giants. As they loaded the bases in the 8th for the second time, Neifi Perez–or as I called him yesterday, Neifi “This won’t happen again for a long time” Perez–made me look silly as […]

A bit before I head to bed: when/if Kerry Wood comes back from the DL, he could head straight to the bullpen.
Celebrating et al

Part of me wants to spend today celebrating last night’s victory, but there are a few reasons not to do just that:
It wouldn’t take very long: all I would do is give instructions for celebrating. “Dance/shake your butt while singing ‘We beat the Cardinals, we beat the Cardinals’ in taunting fashion.” And yes, it’s OK […]

They might be up by 12 games, but at least for tonight it doesn’t matter. Take that, Cardinal bitches!

A Rather Quick Summary
Posted by Mike J. | 9:06 am | Old Style Posts | Comments: 0
Yesterday the Cubs imploded like an aging Las Vegas hotel, giving up 5 runs in the 8th via balks, walks, and poor defense to lose 9-6 to the Reds.
There are, in fact, better ways to mentally prepare oneself for a series in St. Louis. Since we can’t pick and choose, though, we’ll have to go […]

We All Knew It Was Coming

I’m refusing to buy CocaCola Zero because of that damn “Everybody Chill” commercial. I hear it doesn’t taste bad, but I just hate that song so much.
So what does this have to with last night’s game? Absolutely nothing. A smooth transition at this point is impossible, so let’s go back to a bit of yesterday’s […]
