Faithful, Too: “Game 10 - Sho-Time”

Faithful, Too: “Game 10 - Sho-Time”

The Padres came to Wrigley Field undefeated through their first seven games of the season. Their starter Randy Vásquez had pitched six scoreless innings in his only start of the season. None of this mattered on this chilly Chicago afternoon because of patience and Shota Imanaga, who led the Cubb...

Faithful, Too: “Cubs Sweep and Player of the Week”

Faithful, Too: “Cubs Sweep and Player of the Week”

A day after watching a game with no volume, I listened to the Cubs sweep the A’s via the MLB app at work. Nothing makes the workday go by quicker than catching a few hours of a pounding (in sports, relax!). Cubs scored 35 runs in their three-game sweep and capped it off with another Suzuki show...

Faithful, Too: “Game 8 - What the Tuck?”

Faithful, Too: “Game 8 - What the Tuck?”

Interesting experience last night with this one. Watched the first seven innings on mute and in the background while I caught up with m’lady about life and liberty and what not. I looked up to see Tucker hit a home run, thinking it was a replay from last night, and, no, it’s another home ...

Faithful, Too: “Game 7 - The Carson Kelly Game”

Faithful, Too: “Game 7 - The Carson Kelly Game”

Nothing more satisfying than drubbing a new opponent a day after choking away a game. 21 hits and 10 walks led to an 18-3 cakewalk victory over the homeless A’s (promise this will get explained). Another insane offensive effort by Tuck Temporary (no way the cheap Cub owners sign him this offsea...

Faithful, Too: “Game 6 CHOKE”

Faithful, Too: “Game 6 CHOKE”

According to the reliable gregstoll.com, when a visiting team is up four runs in the bottom of the eighth and the team batting has one out and runners on 1st and 2nd, the chances of victory for the visiting team is 93.54%. The Cubs were that very visiting team yesterday…and lost.

Faithful, Too: “Game 5 W”

Faithful, Too: “Game 5 W”

A note on names of things for things: “Faithful, Too” is obviously a play on being associated in its own way (unofficially, of course) with O’Nan and King’s Faithful, but do you know what the true source of inspiration is? You guessed it: Teen Wolf, Too starring a young ...

Faithful, Too: “Game 4 L”

Faithful, Too: “Game 4 L”

You can have the same offensive lineup the day after you win in convincing fashion, and somehow get blown out. The magic of different starting pitchers. Taillon had a good year for us last year, and while this was a true stinker I remain optimistic about the rest of his season.

Faithful, Too: "Game 3 W"

Faithful, Too: "Game 3 W"

It was an early night for me since I'm leaving early for the east this weekend, but I managed to catch the first four innings of the Cubs' (second) Opening Day before bedtime. This will be a recurring theme with games played out the west. While baseball games are considerably shorter than they us...

“Baseball is a good thing. Always was, always will be.” – Stephen King, “Blockade Billy”
