Who's the stuffed pupper?

That would be "Banner"...(given to DS by his Aunt and Uncle who loves Corgi's but will not be getting one until he is in his OWN place )on opening night when the Cubs raised the WS Banner.

My DD loves Corgi's too!

My DD loves Corgi's too!

yeah , they are cuter than heck. If DS bought one while still iving here, I would get too attched and be heartbroken when he would take it when moving so I told him nope on getting one here.

Add my DD to the Corgi Lovers Club too!

Cubs and Corgis. We are clearly raising our children well. LOL.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (The first pic is one of my fave's of him...so sly, lol) and I miss his white hair!

 

[robinb]

I miss his white hair too! I have no clue why he dyes it. It looks stoopid. He's 64 for goodness sakes!

I saw that, LOL. I went to a Cubs/Brewers game last year. It really was Wrigley North. I felt bad for the Brewers fans. I was peeved that Miller Park jacked up parking for the game. I had expected to pay for a regular weeknight game and had to pay a lot more because it was a Cubs game. I was lucky that I had enough cash with me.

I remember that game!Wait...no..it was one against the Marlin's, right? We were chatting throughout the game...and all the way home lol.

I finally got the final charm in the mail today so I can now show my Pandora bracelet!

The bracelet itself has little CZ Mickeys on it. Even though I want this to be a Cubs bracelet ONLY I couldn't resist a little Disney.

The charms are, from left to right:
(1) Cubs baseball, ordered from MLBShop
(2) Crazy Clip charm to keep the other charms from bunching up, eBay
(3) Murano glass "blue bubbles" charm, eBay
(4) Cubs dangle, ordered from MLBShop
(5) Murano glass "blue bubbles" charm, eBay
(6) Crazy Clip charm to keep the other charms from bunching up, eBay
(7) Ladybird (Ladybug) Pave charm, eBay

The Ladybug is for my mom who made me a Cubs fan. She died 3 years ago and ladybugs are her "spirit animal".



I'll be adding some red to the bracelet in the future but this got me started .

both Kewz's pendant and your bracelet are CUBtastic! (you might need to add that baby to your insurance, lol)

 

[FINFAN]

so..., I vote we get JJ2 back and he rounds out our pitching . He sure was a major player last season and leaves a big hole

 

[FINFAN]

Oh...and to add to Joe's birthday ~ another announcement

Robin, your bracelet is beautiful!

 

[FINFAN]

so the Jake/Nats rumor is gaining heat again. With Miggy on the Nats Minor league team(with invite to ST)I get a kick out of the irony of them being back together WITH Trea Turner, lol.

LOVE this article from Kelly Crull!

CJ just announced baby #2 is due in July. Wow~ been a busy off season I need to look at the schedule and see who we play late June/July~ as Javy, CJ, Grimm will all be hanging with the stork then. Dexter has #2 arriving in July as well

 

[FINFAN]

seeing as how the stove is colder than the foot of snow I have, even this smidge of an article is semi interesting.


https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/...amp-in-florida-but-boras-clients-wont-attend/

My brain jumps to Bora's keeping his clients from being "viewed" perhaps? As in not letting teams see what may no longer be there but what WAS there? Or maybe it's just Boras being Boras .

Pitcher's and catcher's report Wednesday...would be nice to have our SP set so the chemistry can start to build. Willy is probably ready to explode already, lol.

 

[FINFAN]

some early ST activity...so going with the beard seems to be a trend~

as JD said... here Yu go Cub fans. (I will hold off on my initial thought's on this)

Per Ken Rosenthall

BREAKING: Yu Darvish to #Cubs, six year-deal in $150M range, sources tell The Athletic. Pending physical

Clarification: Darvish six-year guarantee with #Cubs is $126M with ability to get to $150M, according to sources.

Projected rotation for #Cubs: Lester, Darvish, Hendricks, Quintana, Chatwood.

I hope like heck Yu decide's he wants to be CUB emotionally. It's critical


Look for Jake to go to the Nat's ( my opinion, nothing done~yet)
