  1. Cubs taking two of three in the road against the Cardinals capped off a great sports weekend.

  2. I bet there are a lot of Cardinals fans who agree with this tweet this morning. Lol.

  3. The Maple Leafs have won more playoff games this year than the Hawks, Blues and Red Wings combined. Something’s wrong with that picture.

  4. Not terribly surprised my Blues got swept, but I would have preferred to see at least one playoff win.

  5. Clutch hitting begins and ends with Javier Baez

  6. Sox bats went cold.
    Angst!

  7. @Skeptic:

    A Canadian friend told me that the Maple Leafs are the Chicago Cubs of the National Hockey League.

  8. Cubs winning.

    Nice weather; getting the convertible out more.

    More cleaning out of the garage; need to find the trailer to haul some lumber, Mrs RNUG wants a deck built and a bit of kitchen remodeling.

    Paperwork I need to do.

  9. How to clone myself - too many pressers/meetings/places I need to be today at the same time!

    4 hours into my workday and I’m ready to run screaming into the forest.

    On a lighter note, my experiment for growing mushrooms (oysters this go around) has turned out well and I harvested the first batch this morning!

  10. I thought skipper said there wasn’t a problem?

  11. ===Something’s wrong with that picture.===

    It’s refreshing to see Canadians doing well at Canadian hockey.

  12. For all the hand wringing the old codgers are doing over “Tony La Russa is the best in-game and bullpen manager ever,” the Sox sure have been losing a lot of one run games in the ninth inning. And for those wondering if I will ever stop saying, “fire Tony La Russa now,” even though there is a zero percent chance of that happening, no… no I will not.

  13. == the Sox sure have been losing a lot of one run games in the ninth inning.==

    Very, very reminiscent IMO of a lot of unnecessary Cardinals losses due to bad bullpen decisions during TLR’s reign there.

  14. Thrilled heading to Las Vegas in a couple hours, I doubt I’ll be as thrilled coming home Friday.

    Comment by BTO2 Monday, May 24, 21 @ 11:30 am

  15. Anyone know when the proposed new 17-district Congressional map will be released?

    Comment by EssentialStateEmployeeFromChatham Monday, May 24, 21 @ 11:48 am

  16. Cubs winning two of three from the Cardinals makes me smile. Also, finding a $100 gift certificate to my favorite garden shop, Casey’s, in Blo-No when I cleaned out a pile of receipts and old bills.

  17. Between Arsenal not making European football for the first time since the end of the 1994/95 season and the Blues getting swept, yesterday was awful for me.

    Comment by Justin Monday, May 24, 21 @ 1:53 pm

  18. Cubs at Wrigley on Sunday….

    Comment by Loop Lady Monday, May 24, 21 @ 4:14 pm

  19. I root for 19 premier league teams. Whoever is playing Arsenal. Heartbreaking to see the Blues lose to the Avs.

  20. The online edition of the Washington Post has an article on Decatur.
