Saturday Spitballin’ with Andy: Six Flags’ New Ride–Being a Cubs Fan

It would make sense that the inaugural “Saturday Spitballin’ with Andy” post would be about the inaugural Cubs World Series of my lifetime. I have loved the Cubs ever since I entered this world. I’ve loved them through the Sammy Sosa, Carlos Zambrano, Derek Lee days, and sadly through the Hee-Seop Choi, John Baker, and …

Saturday with Andy

It occurred to me last week that it would be interesting to add a different perspective here and there.  We found that perspective when my cousin Andy stayed at our home and went to Game One of the World Series.  Andy is a Cubs fan through and through.  He came in from Indiana and stayed …

Postseason Friday Night Date Night
