Righteous dude, cat dad, kid dad, EIC of a moderately successful Cubs blog. I appreciate booze, brews, shoes, and tattoos. Just trying to escape the crushing weight of existential dread.
Not bad for a wood bat against soft toss.

Probably from the time I was 14 or so, maybe earlier, I wanted tattoos. I was fascinated by them, both the decorative artistry and the taboo. I mean, this was 30+ years ago. I didn’t start collecting them until I was almost 30, but now I’m taking my kids to get them.

My Grandpa Mac was awesome, and damn do I miss him.

Haven’t spent much time here lately, but thought y’all would enjoy this video of our friendly feral cat, Shady. We also see Slim and Marshall on occasion, but this buddy loves to come by often for food and scritchers.

Volume up. You can hear someone say “Finish him!” right before the delivery.

Wu-Tang and RTJ. I swear I’m not a short king, but 5-11 looks short now I guess.

Do you have a hat with an octopus holding a tattoo machine? Because I do.

A few strikeouts from one of our tournaments.

This is pretty impressive to me.

Oh, @mikeflanaganfilm.com, you have done it again. The Life of Chuck was beautiful, and I loved it. My only complaint is that some asshole was chopping onions in the theater the whole time.

Hey, the pickoff throw got past the first baseman and got into the grass, get that extra base.

Maybe it would have helped them to know the 1B is also a pitcher. Kid was out by 10 feet on the most perfect throw you’ll ever see.

That’s a lot of roses

Kid just tripled and hit the Wu-Tang celly.

Already a great day!

Roses looking good.

Home for the next 3 days.

Good night for the one-man Team Prove ‘Em Wrong. Set an EV PR with the first dinger against an iPitch machine using a new bat.

Little kick change.

I’ve spent a lot of time looking at Ben Brown's changeup, which gets way more ride than average. That gives it very little vertical separation from his FB. Going with a kick could give him the depth he needs to make that a viable third offering.
