Spotted Anthony Rizzo's dad walking around Wrigley tonight literally thanking every employee he saw for what they've done for his family during his son's time on the team.
And then I was sad all over again.
I need you at my first start! I got you and your entire family on tickets. You’re an incredible human being and incredibly strong to get through what you’re going through. I will come sign whatever you want after the game. Looking forward to meeting you!

Unfortunately teams are owned by a bunch of guys who have no interest in making the sport better, with a Commissioner who doesn't even seem to like the game.
Hi. The reigning MLB NL Manager of the Year, Mike Shildt, never played professional baseball.
If that's the criteria you're using to question Alyssa Nakken's qualifications to act as first base coach for the Giants, just.. don't. Please.

I'm a mathematician and understand that you can massage numbers to support almost any theory.
That said, it's still not too late to delete this.
Sometimes I think about Ben Zobrist. And then once in a while, I read something about Ben Zobrist that makes my heart just break for him. And then I want to give Ben Zobrist a hug because it seems like he really needs one.
Go get 'er, Zo.
I know it's probably inevitable, but I'm sad. I've been a Cubs fan for 31 years and this man is the best manager we've ever had. Cheers to my Skipper. 💙❤
I see all you pining for Rizzo, but be warned: only one of last night's dingers would've left the yard at Wrigley. He is benefitting mightily from that short RF porch in Yankee Stadium.
UPDATE: The Caldor Fire in the Sierra Nevada, halfway between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, explodes to more than 53,700 acres, with no containment, Cal Fire says.
Hi,
@mlb
? I know this isn't your fault, but if you could give your bosses a message I would appreciate it. I live in Northern California. The Giants are playing in Chicago. I cannot physically attend this game. There is no reason I should be blacked out. None. Zero. Thank you.

Dangit, Kyle. I had just pulled myself out of my crying corner. We don't have that trophy without you. You're my 12 year old daughter's favorite player. You're always a Cub. Thank you for everything. 💙❤️
Sometimes I think about Ben Zobrist. Then one day, Ben Zobrist just shows up at Wrigley smiling and looking healthy and like he could suit up and drive a double down the line. And that makes me really happy.
I don't know what Derek Carr has to do to get some respect but man just came off a 4800 yd season throwing to Hunter Renfrow, half a season of Darren Waller & a bunch of spare parts while the coaching staff & front office fell apart.

I'm gonna have to go with Lennie Briscoe. (Honorable mention to Adrian Monk, who was way ahead of social distancing before the rest of us.)

His brother in law passed away from cancer--his blog is talking about when he first met him and how intimidated he was, and how they became friends. He was an MMA fighter.
Me @ all the losers who are either mad that Cubs & Reds get to do ‘Field of Dreams’ or just cannot find an ounce of joy from a really cool, unique game / experience + all that goes with it 🥲
@mlb_cc
we don’t normally do this but just so that no one accuses any broadcasters or players of anything untowards, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run. And so that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame.
(I'm sorry. Had to be done.)
My 13 YO picked me out a new

hoodie for Christmas. Meanwhile, I unknowingly bought her the EXACT SAME Cubs hoodie for Christmas, and now we're ready for Maximum Cubs Twinning.

You have trouble reading too, I see, since the correct spelling of my name is like, right there. But since the Brewers had a combined .585 OPS against Darvish this season, SOMEONE on the team needs help against him.
