Well, friends: the baby is on his way. The Wife and I are heading out to the hospital to grow our family by 33% (squeal!).
As I warned you, this may impact you in a small, but tangible way. Namely, I won’t be around for a day or two or three. I won’t promise that you won’t see me posting something later today while we wait at the hospital, or tomorrow while the baby is (theoretically) sleeping – I just don’t want to promise that I will be posting.
In the meantime, please feel free to use this post for your commenting pleasure – and I’d be much obliged if you’d post any breaking news or rumors in the comments, so folks who are inclined to check them can benefit from your efforts.
Thanks in advance for your well-wishes, and I’ll see you soon.





Somehow the Blues Brothers music in the background is apropos for spring training.
Cubs hit around in the 1st. Good to see!
Good start for Cubs hitters. 4-1 after1.
Raley is digging a deep hole to climb of if he wants to make the opening day line up.
As the preseason goes on the farm pitchers are not to be counted on.
ayyyy Bert hope the birth goes well! Here’s to seeing blog posts at 3am due to your inability to get any sleep
Hey Brett…when are we getting a box score?????
You know…Boy or Girl, lbs and oz, how many times she grabbed you and asked why you did this to her…lol
Hoping the new Cub is healthy and the parents best wishes
Congrats Brett. Hope all is going well
It’s a boy.
And how many Jeff’s are we up to around here nowadays?
I know I Know, I’ve not posted much since this new one showed up.
I torn between Prince Jeff, Lord Jeff, Master Jeff, somebody already took King Jeff…lol
Oops replied to the wrong one.
I think you Jeff’s that haven’t separated yourselves yet should go by middle or last names.
There is only one that matters!
Everybody Stay Calm. He walked off on his own power.
So did Stewart.
oh crap everybody PANIC!
So tomorrow we can expect to hear about and MRI on Castro’s leg.
and how Baez will be starting this year in Chicago
We’ll be seeing a lot of Lillybridge for the next week.
And Castro just pulled up lame. groooooan.
Hamstring tightness per Len
Len’s got a Medical x-ray eye from the booth.
If it was a Cub official release it means Castro might be back by All Star .break
Getting Fontenot would’ve been insurance- he may still be available
Good luck, man!
Campana would be able to play short.
congrats on the baby
Congrats!
Maybe it’s just me but are we losing focus? Ace, my sincere wishes for Gods grace on a healthy and happy addition to your family. As a father and grandfather I am the ultimate family man. My family is truly my greatest treasure. I pray (and or the critics, I literally dropped to my knees) that you have a healthy baby.
And now for the selfish part that makes you immediately available for new CUBS post!
Good luck buddy, will say a prayer for a healthy baby and mom!
You guys hear abt mike trout…there are reports saying he gained a lot of weight …and also that he now ways 5 pounds more than pujols. Pujols ways 235 so that means trout ways like 240!
