At 8:00 p.m. ET on Fox, the Cubs take on the Cleveland Indians in what could very well be the start of the apocalypse. With bets on the line between Dwayne Wade and Lebron James, the respected mayors...

A win 24 years in the making

For the last 24-years, my parents have asked me the same question, “What do you want for your birthday, Haleigh?” While I give them credit for asking each year, they could never give me, or any other Chicagoan for that matter, what we all desperately wanted for our birthdays. Because my parents go out and... Read more »

How long ago was 1908?

The last time the Chicago Cubs won a World Series Title, the world was a much different place. It was a simpler time if you will. Teddy Roosevelt was in the oval office, the Wright brothers went public with the airplane and Mel Blanc the voice of Bugs Bunny was born. With breaking news such... Read more »

Man's best friend and Chicago's newest fan

Almost two months ago, we welcomed a new addition to our family. Little Indiana Jones(yes like the movie character) is a corgi terrier mix, with a whole lot of spunk. We rescued him from the local animal shelter in town, it was love at first sight. A few days after we brought little Indy home,... Read more »

Its Fantasy Time

Fantasy Football, in my opinion, is a sports fan escape from the real wold. To many, it is the most wonderful time of the year, while I use it to crush my significant others family without having to do any physical effort. Because we are scattered throughout the midwest, it’s hard to find time to... Read more »

Young vs. Old: How generations of Fans Remember Icons

I was driving in the car the other day from Denver to Fort Collins when I really started to get into my 90s throwback station on Spotify. Somewhere in-between the Backstreet Boys and Blink 182, GoCubsGo found a way to break up the boy bands. As most Cubs/Chicagoans listen to the lyrics, its inevitable to... Read more »

My First Love: The Chicago Cubs

Theres nothing quite like your first love. (Insert flashback sequence….now) We all remember those days, your palms got clammy, your stomach was in knots (one could never figure out if the cause was lack of food or if that fart you were holding in for the last hour finally decided to fight back), regardless, we...

JerseyGate: Sale Cuts Loose During Batting Practice

Wow, who knew a pair of scissors, Chris Sale and a throw back jersey from ’76 would transform into the biggest day in sports this season, and not in a good way. Saturday Sale (the scheduled starter) was sent home from the ballpark after a non-physical incident in the clubhouse during batting practice. That “incident”... Read more »

Bryant and Arenado, who's had the better season?

Theres no doubt, Chicago fans love their teams. No matter the record, rain or shine (sometimes snow) we’re there to cheer for the home team. That is, as long as our credit card limit and beer intake will allow for. When we watch Rizzo, Zobrist, or Sale take the field, what do you think other than... Read more »
