Congrats to the Cubs and what a series

Wow, 108 years is over. HOW BOUT THEM CHICAGO CUBS. You don't win 103 games during the Regular Season, get this far and lay down. I knew they were going to win Game 5 with Lester on the hill. When Addison Russell hit the Grand Slam in Game 6, I knew there was going to be a Game 7. This series was too good not to go to what Lebron James calls the greatest two words in sports, Game 7. I feel bad that I fell asleep in the 8th inning, but I could not be happier for the city of Chicago, people on the North Side and most important of all... Steve Bartman. Someplace, somewhere, Ernie Banks, Ron Santo and Harry Carey are smiling down on Wrigley Field. I can't wait for the parade tomorrow, I will watch it at work.

How bout them Cubbies

Congrats to the Chicago Cubs on advancing to their first World Series since 1945. I am so happy for the Windy City, for the organization and the players. I am happy that Steve Bartman is officially off the hook. Anthony Rizzo, Addison Russell came to life at the right time. Joe Maddon is doing a fine job with this team. Wish I could have been there to celebrate the moment with 4 of the biggest Cub fans I know, My brother-in-law, Sister and their two daughter's

Trying to get out before the weather turns cold...

I am hopeful to get out the sticks a few more times before the weather turns cold. According to farmers almanac, the winter season in Midwest Ohio is supposed to be "Numbing cold". I plan on playing tomorrow and maybe next weekend. I am also planning on walking while doing it.

Hoping the Cubs will do it...

I've been a crazed sports fan my entire life and nothing has gotten me excited then this year's Cubs team. They are fun to watch. Joe Maddon is a great manager and I am hoping Wrigley ville will be hoping tonight.

Golf and the NCAA Tournament

It's hard to believe that its been a month since Kris Jenkins hit the game winning shot to win the National Championship. This year's NCAA Tournament was a blur. St. Louis was fun, seeing a #15 beat a #2 was awesome. Middle Tennessee State was a fun team to watch. To see Syracuse not only beat the Flyers, but to make it to the Final Four was amazing in itself. Jim Boeheim is going to get the best out of his players for the next few years. Every National Championship game should be that exciting. Golf. I feel for Jordan Speith and I know the kid will bounce back in a great way. As for me, after a nightmare first day in Naples, I turned the clock back with 4 spectacular rounds. I played some great golf in the Sunshine State, beat Dad, Tom and Stewy and then beat Dad and Stewy the last time and tied Tom.

Last night was so embarassing

I have been a Bengals fan my entire life. I have watched the losses mount: 31-17, 24-14, 31-10, 16-10, 27-10, 27-10 and 18-16. Last night was as low as you can go. It was a disgraceful display in the final 2:00 Minutes. I am hoping Marvin Lewis lives to see another year on the Bengals sideline, 5 straight playoff appearances, 6 in the last seven years and 7 in 10 years is pretty impressive. Four AFC North Division Championships is awesome, considering that this franchise was a laughing stock before Marvin got there. I will always bleed orange and black during the NFL season.

Update

It's been a while that I have posted on my sports blog. I think the Bengals can beat the 49ers tomorrow. I also think the Dayton Flyers will start a new winning streak at home tonight. It's hard to believe that a week ago, it was nice enough to get the golf clubs out of the closet in the garage and play twice last week. Has it been 20 years since the original Browns left Cleveland? Has it been 15 years since one of the greatest defense's of all time won a Super Bowl. Has it been 10 years since The Bengals won their first division title in 15 years.
