I wouldn’t have it any other way
This being 2023, the Miami Marlins are celebrating their 30th anniversary. Tonight, they have a Friday flashback and are highlighting the 2003 Champs. Those champs famously defeated the Cubs in the NLCS.

Mock schmock
All the experts got the first round of the NFL draft wrong and all the smart guys “betting” on where who would land really lost their shirts. Ain’t legalized sports gambling grand!

I’d be a little worried.
I know if you are a White Sox fan it’s way too early to write off the 2023 season because the AL Central is the worst in baseball. Have you heard that one yet? I have 2,176 times and I don’t “follow” the Sox. What should worry Sox fans is the lack of a quality…

The pressure of being in a two-team city.
Some baseball owners like Steve Cohen of the Mets blatantly react to what the other team in town does. He can’t help but compare the number of stories written about his Mets and the Yankees.

However, TV’s inability to show replays does detract from…

Picking and choosing.

Taco Tuesday and bat day at the ballpark.
I’m betting most people don’t think in terms of risk-reward when they consider attending an out of town, minor league game on a weekend. To some extent I do. I couldn’t see an inherent benefit in driving to either Comstock Park, Michigan or Beloit Wisconsin this weekend. Neither option offered the sunshine and warm temperatures…

Enough already..
Luckily after tomorrow’s game, the Cubs will be done with James Outman and the Dodgers for the season. The rookie outfielder has already hit 3 home runs against the Cubs this season.

Is this going to end well?
While conducting a little research on a current Marlins rookie, I stumbled upon these pictures and now that I can post multiple photos, I thought I’d share them here.
I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.
