Church of Baseball
A Playful Mojave Undertone & A Veteran Pitcher’s Savvy
The shakes started my day. Didn’t get out of bed for two hours. Sat there checking stats. I let one bad day on a 40% completed project get the better of me. Nobody Successful Goes Undefeated. Even Muhammad Ali Lost his title fair and square at one point. So I showered, met a friend for […]
How to Convince Your Friend to Go to a Cubs Game at the Last Minute Even If His Wife Is Pregnant

It started last Tuesday night when I was playing co-ed softball for the company. Being 40 lbs. overweight & 8 months from the gym […]
The damned distraction called the 2008 Chicago Cubs
A synopsis of a 2008 Chicago Cubs fan: “Pride won’t be my fall. I’m a Cubs’ fan. My heart was coming apart before I was born.” — Nat Finn I dunno. I suppose everyone who claims to be a writer has either distractions posed as vices or vices posed as distractions. Many drink. Some just […]
