A Chicago Cubs Community
I just checked and we haven’t actually posted a blog since October, when we had an inkling but weren’t totally sure that the Cubs were going to hamstring the budget like they are. So here I am, waiting for my car’s oil change and other potential service, tapping away on Continue reading What to Expect When Your Expectations Aren’t That High
The Cubs unfortunately met a premature end to their 2019 season, but this window of contention is not yet shut completely, so there is some work to be done to retool rather than rebuild what could still be a solid-to-great roster for years to come. This assumes, of course, that Continue reading The Next Phase For the Cubs
It sure has been a while since any of us had time to blog, but now that the 2019 Chicago Cubs season has come to a close, seems as good a time as any to sign on again and talk about the lost season that was. As you know, this Continue reading The End…and the Beginning
Before Rice returns to Chicago for a mini-vacation and a Cubs game at Wrigley, the denizens of WSD get together to talk about the stuff going on in their lives, a bit about the Cubs and baseball, and also try to find a willing guest host so they can learn Continue reading Dreamcast 47: Can’t Really Plan For This

I Continue reading A Paradigm Shift, Of Sorts
After a very long hiatus, Rice returns with a new edition of the Dreamcast to ring in the 2019 season, with guest star Crawly hanging out with us. You should check out his stuff too. Our itinerary: The very weird lack of action by the Cubs this winter so far; Continue reading Dreamcast 45: The Return
Hey look, it’s December! As you all know, I moved back home to California a few months ago, and I finally have an actual full-time job to grow with as I become a scientist yet again. Yay me. In the meantime, I have been keeping up with the Cubs and Continue reading Assuming There’s a Plan…
It has not been a fun past few months for me, with a big move, trying to find work, and the Chicago Cubs’ ever-growing championship drought (thank goodness for 2016, eh?) all bearing down on me. There are plenty of baseball items, of course, that don’t involve my own life Continue reading Thanksgiving 2018 Hall of Fame Stuffing
