  • The 2026 Chicago Cubs need to take a page out of Michael Jordan’s playbook and use this video as inspiration to destroy the Brewers next season. A still of this video needs to be in every locker, and the video needs to play on repeat in the clubhouse.

  • Try Not to Suck

    Had to break out a 2016-vintage t-shirt for tonight’s Game 3 against the Brewers.

    Let’s go Cubs!

  • My first favorite baseball player, and my favorite all-time Chicago Cubs player.

    RIP Ryno.

    Ryne Sandberg, Cubs icon and Hall of Famer, passes away at 65

  • As a lifelong Cubs fan, it’s strange to hear Chip Caray calling a Cardinals game. On the other hand, it’s nice to hear Chip Caray calling a game again.

  • The video and audio sync between Marquee and WSCR on MLB.TV is exceptional tonight. Always great to be able to watch the game while listening to Pat and Ron and hearing the ball hit the catcher’s glove in perfect harmony.

  • As the cameras pulled back from Anfield to show the neighborhood around the stadium, it becomes crystal clear why English football is so special. All of these teams, regardless of how big, are just neighborhood teams. They are part of the community – just another neighbor.

    There are a few examples of this in the US with Wrigley Field being an obvious one. Other leagues and teams can learn a thing or two by watching the celebrations in Liverpool today.

  • It seems a bit short-sighted on Apple’s part to only provide support for the excellent Apple Sports app on the iPhone. With their larger screens, there is massive potential for incredible user experiences on the iPad and Mac, and it seems logical to add similar experiences to the TV app on the Apple TV. It would be great to filter down for My Teams, My Leagues, or specific conferences or leagues when trying to find a game or tournament.

    With these features being so seemingly obvious, I can only assume they are on Apple’s roadmap or backlog. Let’s hope so anyway.

  • After a long winter, it’s finally here. That magical, mystical day when everything is possible. The future is wide open. Hope springs eternal. It’s Opening Day!

    So, if life or work has you down, remember, your team is tied for first place, and summer is right around the corner.

    *And yes, I realize my Cubs are in a 0-2 hole thanks to the most expensive team in baseball, but I’m just going to pretend those games didn’t happen.

  • That’s not the wind chill, folks!

    But, there is good news on this frigid morning. It’s Opening Day of Spring Training so somewhere much warmer than here, the Boys of Summer will be at a park playing ball, and summer is inching closer.
