That’s a super song.  Just heard it again yesterday by chance, a great live version.

JR, it's cool that you're getting to see a game with the Cubs hitting a bunch.  Every starter has gotten a hit, other than pitcher.  It's been a fun run for Ortega and Schwindel.   

Happ has build a 3-game hitting streak, and has actually gotten a hit in 6 of his last 7 starts.  Yesterday Happ had his first multi-hit game since May.

Wow, Duffy just pulled off a perfectly executed drag bunt with Ortega at third and two out to score him.  I didn’t k ow you were allowed to do that in 2021. The AAAA guys are getting it done today!

You know if you can find some cheap tickets and a day the Twins are pitching a weak pitcher, it might be worth your while to check them out.

Glad you had a good time, JR.

Good timing to see a Cubs game!

First multi-hit game since May?! Wow, that’s awful. Do people have hope for Ian? He has sure put together a horrifically bad year.

Without a lot of optimism, I actually took the day off, got up early and made the drive up to Cincinnati for the game today.  It’s actually been kind of fun watching our AAAA lineup do some damage today.  Glad I made the trip!
Nashville thanks you.

Rick Sutcliffe and Ryne Sandberg in the booth with Boog today.

Anybody want to make a guess on JD's whereabouts?

He's working with the PR department on how to talk up chicken manure as tasty chicken salad.  He was running out of ways to hide his disgust.

Looks like in addition to PFP, some of our pitchers (Davies) need to go thru PBP...
