Kid K and Arlington…
Written on December 10th, 2008 | 0 CommentsIf you read this blog often (and most of you don’t), you will know that I primarily focus on the Cubs. While this is my life’s passion, I am also blessed to live in such close proximity to Rangers’ Ballpark in Arlington, where the mighty Texas Rangers play, so every now and again, I have a HSO on the Rangers and how their team is managed.

Gut Punch
Written on October 2nd, 2008 | 1 CommentI have a hard time explaining to others just how I feel about baseball. I am passionate about baseball, but not just as a fan. I am a student of the game. I get my jollies from a well executed hit and run just as much as I would a three run homer. Continue reading...

Baseball Problem
Written on July 14th, 2008 | 0 Comments
There is a problem in baseball. Well, there are several problems in baseball, but this might be slightly different than the tired old rant about steroids, or superstar attitudes, or even kevlar elbow protectors. This issue spans all of baseball, not just the major leagues. Read More »

Differences in Perspective
Written on July 2nd, 2008 | 0 CommentsI am a lifelong Cubs fan. I bleed Cubbie Blue (a great Cubs blog, by the way). Some of my greatest and most devastating memories involve the Cubs.
