You have my sympathy. 20 losses in a row. My Reds haven't done much in 30 years.
This Elly De La Cuze is fantastic. He will be a Yankee or Dodger soon.

Elly De La Cruz
I love watching this kid play.
Very special.

doublesharpI saw Elly play AAA ball for Louisville Bats before he was called up last season. It was obvious he was special.

Edit to add: Elly goes 4 for 5 tonight with 2 homers and 2 doubles in a 10-3 win over Miami.

Said it was some kind of record since Joe DiMaggio in 1936. He is electric and seems to have so much fun. And he's very young.

CoolRich59It's been a painful month.
I married into a family of Cub fans too. I fully expected to be getting calls and texts, but heard nothing. I suspect the Sox are so woeful that even Cub fans feel sorry for them.

SchmelbyTook the wife and sons to Chicago for a four day trip. Did the Navy Pier, big yellow boat, top of the Hancock, some popcorn from someplace. But my favorite was Wrigley to watch the Cubs play the Giants. Bought a Cubs hat there I still wear once in a while.
