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.

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.

It’s been an up and down season for my Chicago Cubs, and while not technically eliminated from the playoffs, the Cubs would need to go 8-0 the rest of the way while the Diamondbacks, Mets, or Braves experience an epic collapse.
On the bright side, the team will likely end the season with more wins than losses, and the last game is a classic Wrigley Field afternoon game starting at 2:20.
It brings back great memories of the businessman specials back in the 90’s and early 2000’s. There’s nothing quite like the smell of a packed Red Line L train from the Loop to Wrigleyville in the hot summer months. Great times!

It’s these types of plays that makes me so hopeful for successful Cubs teams over the next several years. The kids can play!

Looks like my Cubs are teasing me again with a late season rally. The next 43 games should be one heck of a ride!

I know my experience is completely local and subjective, but my ears are telling me that our seasonal cicadas are much louder and much more intense than the great cicada invasion of 2024. They’re being quite rude while I’m trying to listen to the Cubs game.

It should be quite telling to ESPN that I would rather sit outside in the heat and humidity of yet another horrendous St. Louis summer evening to listen to the Cubs/Cardinals game on WSCR than to watch and listen to the ESPN broadcast.

Brewers ownership must be cringing every time Brewers fans boo Craig Counsell. This is a guy that gave everything to the Brewers organization for 13 years and Milwaukee for most of his life.
It’s really not a great look for future manager candidates and free agents to see the fan base be so fickle and unappreciative.
Who would want to invest any time with an organization like that?

In this young Cubs season, Shota Imanaga has delivered big time. His pitching has been very creative, and I really enjoy watching his approach and attitude while he’s on the mound. Let’s hope these are signs of great things to come.
