A Chicago Cubs Community
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
Rice and friend and contributor to the blog Andy are excited about the start of the 2019 regular season, and got this one out just in the nick of time as the Chicago Cubs play soon! Among topics: Tracking and lamenting the action (or lack thereof) this offseason Joe Maddon Continue reading Dreamcast 46: Put Up Or Shut Up
It has been way long since I last posted something on the blog itself. Lots of work, lots of time spent with family (which is good!), and just the boring offseason because owners don’t feel like spending money, have made it difficult to figure out something to write about.

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.

There are plenty of baseball items, of course, that don’t involve my own life Continue reading Thanksgiving 2018 Hall of Fame Stuffing

The good news, I think, is that bounce backs are expected and reasonable, and the Continue reading Looking Ahead to the 2019 Cubs…
And so, the night after the unthinkable happened, it has come to this… The Cubs are going home for the winter. With an optimist’s point of view, maybe it was best to give the players an extended rest after three consecutive seasons of deep playoff runs and an atrocious end-of-year Continue reading A Renewed Sense of Urgency
