Mark's 2017 Cubs Season Predictions

Mark’s 2017 Cubs Season Predictions

I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty blue about Major League Baseball shutting down their blogs, but I do want to thank WordPress for keeping them alive. With that being said, I now present my predictions for the upcoming 2017 Cubs season, now less than 48 hours away. Remember, you heard it here first.

Oh. My. God. The Cubs Won The World Series And I Love Them

Wed, 02 Nov 2016 23:57:50 -0500

See this card? I’ve been carrying this card in my wallet for as long as I can remember. At least since high school, which puts it back into the 70s. It really didn’t mean anything, it didn’t get members anything, but it’s been in my wallet for going on 40 years.

Back then, the Cubs really sucked. But there were those of us who believed. We believed in 1969. We believed in 1984, we believed in…

Can I Stop Pinching Myself Now?

Can I Stop Pinching Myself Now?

I’ve been thinking all day about what to write about the Chicago Cubs winning the National League Championship and heading to the World Series for the first time in 71 years, 108 years after they last won the Fall Classic. I’ve seen some pretty good prose, and some utter garbage, so I think I’ll just share some random, sort of slightly but not necessarily connected items for your reading pleasure.

Mark's 2016 NLCS Predictions

Sat, 15 Oct 2016 07:09:47 -0500

Mark’s 2016 NLCS Predictions

It’s no secret that I would like to see the Chicago Cubs win the World Series. It’s also no secret that the Cubs have gotten close, oh so close, and let me and millions of other Die Hard Cubs Fans down over the years. But it’s also no secret that this really, truly, could be the Cubs’ year.

So with that in mind, I present my predictions regarding the 2016 Season Of A Dream National League…

Attending The NLDS, On My Couch

Mon, 26 Sep 2016 19:19:53 -0500

My last post talked about the fact it was time to register for tickets to see the Cubs in postseason play. Of course, I did that and had everyone over the age of 18 that I know who would do it for me do it as well.

Just now, the Cubs sent me good news and bad news.

OK, OK, I didn’t get the chance to see the NLDS. I’ve been to two NLDS Games, and the Cubs lost both of them. So maybe not getting…

The Time Has Come, My Friends

September 7, 2016. Yes, it’s the day Apple pisses off the world by killing the headphone jack, but it’s an even more important day.

Registration has begun for Cubs Postseason tickets!

My email included this communique from The Friendly Confines inviting me to register for my chance to spend hundreds of dollars on tickets to see my heroes make their way to the Fall Classic, that is if I’m lucky…

This Really Happened On Star Wars Day

This Really Happened On Star Wars Day

I’m not much of a Star Wars person, but I’ve learned over the years that May 4th is Star Wars Day. May The Fourth Be With You and all that. Whatever. And I posted on Facebook and Twitter that if anybody said those words to me that I’d bitch slap them.

But even the best laid plans go awry, as the Cubs took on the Pittsburgh PiratesWednesday afternoon, and a very astute Cub Fan (not me) grabbed a…

I Cannot Believe The Cubs Did This To Me (And It Has Nothing To Do With How They're Playing)

Wed, 21 Oct 2015 14:44:28 -0500

I Cannot Believe The Cubs Did This To Me (And It Has Nothing To Do With How They’re Playing)

I’ve been a good Cubs fan all my life. I cried in 1969, I weeped a few times after that when the Cubs let me down, but I stayed with my heroes because I believe. And going into Wednesday night’s game down 3-0 to the Mets, I still have hope that the Cubs can pull out a victory in the NLCS, or at least this game.

I wanted to see the Cubs play in this series really badly. I had a line on tickets to…

I spent much of the morning reading and answering e mails and Facebook posts about the Chicago Cubs losing to the New York Mets last night and now being down two games to zero in the National League Championship Series. I politely answered all the comments, and posted a semi-somber article from the Chicago Tribune written after last night’s loss and added the comment that the Cubs may be down,…

Today I implore all Cubs fans to join me in taking the Cubs Fans Postseason Pledge. You can take the pledge by watching and liking a YouTube video (which I have NO connection to) and, of course correctly root, root, rooting for the Cubs as they start the NLDStonig…

So NOW You Want On The Cubs Bandwagon?

The Cubs are now in the NLDSplayoffs and start a best of five game series against the Cardinals Friday. It’s the first time back in the Playoffs since 2008, but you’ve seen all that stuff if you’re reading this. And you probably want a place on the Official Cubs Bandwagon. We Cubs fans who have been on the bandwagon since birth are always happy to get new people to join us, even if it’s just for…

Why Cardinals Fans Should Root For The Cubs Wednesday

Why Cardinals Fans Should Root For The Cubs Wednesday

Well, it’s finally happened. The Cubsare in the playoffs. And while I still think 2016 will be the Season Of A Dream for the Cubs, one never knows what the boys have up their sleeves. After all, they did win 97 games, have one of the most exciting rookies in years in Kris Bryant, the big bat of Anthony Rizzo, and the lights-out pitching of Jake Arrieta. That’s why ESPN put the Northsiders at the…

What is a Supermoon Lunar Eclipse?

Fri, 25 Sep 2015 14:24:09 -0500

nasa:

We’ve told you that on Sept. 27 a supermoon lunar eclipse will occur in the U.S. And much of the world, but what does that mean?

One important note, is that this event can be referred to in many different ways:

Supermoon Lunar Eclipse

Super Blood Moon

Harvest Moon Eclipse

Supermoon Eclipse

All slightly different names, but apply to the same spectacular event that will occur this weekend.

Since it’s rare that both a supermoon and an lunar eclipse occur at the same time, let’s break it down.

1) Supermoon

A supermoon is a full or new moon that falls closest to the fall equinox, and is at its closest approach to the Earth. This results in the moon appearing up to 14% larger in diameter.

2) Lunar Eclipse

A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly behind the Earth into its shadow. This can give the moon a red tint.

3) A Supermoon Lunar Eclipse!

The combination of these two events does not happen very often. In fact, since 1900 a supermoon lunar eclipse has only happened 5 times! The last time this occurred was 1982, and if you miss the event this year, your next opportunity won’t come until 2033.

This year, the event will be visible from the Americas, Europe and Africa on the night of Sept. 27. Here’s a full schedule of the supermoon eclipse:

If it’s cloudy in your area on Sept. 27, don’t worry! NASA Television will be providing a live stream of the event, so you can tune in and enjoy the show.

For more information and resources on the supermoon lunar eclipse, visit our page on NASA.gov.

The first thing I have to do in this post is gloat about the Cubs winning the last two games from the Hapless Cardinals. Did you see the game-ending catch from Addison Russell?

Some pretty impressive stuff as the Cubs seem to be peaking at just the right time. But carrying on about how well the Cubs are doing in mid-September isn’t the reason…
