Keeping Busy

Len Kasper posted 1 day ago | no comments

Hi Everbody, hope you're enjoying this lovely autumn we're having. Actually, the cold temperature is not a big deal to me, but I wouldn't mind seeing the sun a little bit more. And it's a bit depressing when it gets dark at 4 pm. But I will say this--the Midwestern winters just get me that much more excited for spring training.

I've found ways to stay busy around the house the last couple months while always keeping an eye on the Cubs and MLB news of the day. Here's a link to an interview I did with Cubs fan Drew Brown for his blog. Enjoy...and Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S., Keep checking back for Len & Bob Bash updates. We will be at the House of Blues on Thursday, January 14th with all the proceeds going to Cubs Charities. The Baseball Project is locked in for our bill. Bob and I and our band of rockers will do a couple numbers and we are close to getting our headline act in place. When that happens, we will post all the ticket information ASAP.

No BB Stretch King

Another cold day at the ballpark.  Overcast skies...might have some  
rain, but hopefully not after last night's game was canceled after a  
lengthy delay in the 4th.  The biggest loss last night though was Bob  
Brenly NOT singing the stretch.  I was crushed.  He had a whole new  
presentation ready to go, which included a cowbell (a really nice  
touch if you ask me) and some other things which I don't want to  
divulge because he may try them next time and we want them to be a  
surprise.  I can tell you there's a good chance he will ask the roller  
derby girls who sang with Drew Barrymore to return and do the backup  
harmonies.

You Complete Me

Great to see Ryan Dempster complete Tuesday night's game as he dealt a  
5-hit shutout.  For the Cubs, it's their second complete game shutout  
over the last 4 games--Carlos Zambrano threw a 2-hitter @ San  
Francisco on Friday.  What I think you're seeing is the result of the  
Cubs watching the starters' pitch counts early in the season, allowing  
them to stretch it out here late.  Also, in the case of most of the  
starters, some DL time has kept down their innings as well.  It's a  
shame this team isn't going to the post-season considering how strong  
the pitching has been lately.  I feel like the rotation and the pen  
are collectively in their best stretch of the season, which has  
diminished the concern over the offense a little bit.  I don't  
anticipate the Cubs making any sort of major moves with the pitching  
staff over the winter, which will allow Jim Hendry to focus almost  
exclusively on improving the offense.
