The Cubs are coming!

-
The Cubs schedule dropped today and it looks awesome. 60 games in 65ish days. (I don't know how calendars work).
Let's see how the season will shake out.

July 24 – Brewers
July 25 – Brewers
July 26 – Brewers
Cubs sweep 3-0. Rizzo is fired up. Rossi is on a mission. The ivy is green.
July 27 – at Reds
July 28 – at Reds
July 29 – at Reds
July 30 – at Reds
Cubs take series 3-1. The Reds get one due to home field. We are now 6-1.
July 31 – Pirates
Aug. 1 – Pirates
Aug. 2 – Pirates
Cubs sweep. The Pirates aren't good and they know it. Rossi has the fans ready to run through brick walls and the players ready to run through buildings. El Mago is doing magic shit and Contreras has 5 pick offs at first minimum. 9-1 record.
Aug. 3 – Royals
Aug. 4 – Royals
Aug. 5 – at Royals
Aug. 6 – at Royals
At this point a division of Abrams tanks could be placed in front of the Cubs roster and it wouldn't stop these guys. Rossi points and Rizzo and Bryant go. 13-1 and Chicago is hopping.
Aug. 7 – at Cardinals
Aug. 8 – at Cardinals
Aug. 9 – at Cardinals
First hiccup as Q makes his return. Cards take 2, but can't complete the sweep. 14-3
Aug. 10 – Off
Aug. 11 – at Indians
Aug. 12 – at Indians
Sweep for the Cubbies. I'm guessing Rizzo will be hitting above .350 at this point and Schwarber will be home run leader. 16-3.
Aug. 13 – Brewers
Aug. 14 – Brewers
Aug. 15 – Brewers
Aug. 16 – Brewers
Four games at Wrigley? Give. Me. More. Cubs take 3/4 games at worst. At this point, people are starting to understand the level of intensity out of Cubbie Nation in a 60 game sprint. Bryant is playing for an extension and leaving it all on the diamond and the fans love it. 19-4.
Aug. 17 – Cardinals
Aug. 18 – Cardinals
Aug. 19 – Cardinals
Cubs are salty from the previous series. Q is mid season form. 22-4
Aug 20 – Off
Aug. 21 – White Sox
Aug. 22 – White Sox
Aug. 23 – White Sox
Cubs lose first game and then bounce back and take the final two. White Sox are good this year but it's Wrigley. 24-5.
Aug. 24 – at Tigers
Aug. 25 – at Tigers
Aug. 26 – at Tigers
Aug, 27 – Off
Aug. 28 – at Reds
Aug. 29 – at Reds
Aug. 30 – at Reds
Aug. 31 – Off
Sept. 1 – at Pirates
Sept. 2 – at Pirates
Sept. 3 – at Pirates
Okay, Cubs are at worst 7-2 on this road trip. Every game is a playoff game. Lester is being Lester, giving up 2 runs in the first and finishing the game with 7 IP, 4 hits, 8 SO, and 2 runs scored while the Cubs bats eat. 31-7
Sept. 4 – Cardinals
Sept. 5 – Cardinals
Sept. 6 – Cardinals
Sept. 7 – Cardinals
CUBS SWEEP AT HOME!!! There are no off games this year. All gas, no brakes. 35-7
Sept. 8 – Reds
Sept. 9 – Reds
Sept. 10 – Reds
Sweep again. The energy at Wrigley is a living thing. The hammer is down and Rossi is standing on the gas pedal. 38-7
Sept. 11 – at Brewers
Sept. 12 – at Brewers
Sept. 13 – at Brewers
Split series 2-1. Away from Wrigley the energy is down slightly but the stands in Milwaukee will be half blue. 40-8
Sept. 14 – Off
Sept. 15 – Indians 
Sept. 16 – Indians 
Sept. 17 – Off
Sept. 18 – Twins
Sept. 19 – Twins
Sept. 20 – Twins
Sweep the homestand. 2 days off? Rizzo will hit 6 dingers just from excess energy. 45-8
Sept. 21 – at Pirates
Sept. 22 – at Pirates
Sept. 23 – at Pirates
Sept. 24 – at Pirates
Split the end of year road series. Looking at the playoffs.  47-10.
Sept. 25 – at White Sox
Sept. 26 – at White Sox
Sept. 27 – at White Sox
This series will depend on the White Sox. For the sole purpose of this blog, I am going to assume they are out of the playoff picture and Cubs sweep.

50-10. Let's go Cubs. It's doable. Let's get a trophy for Rossi.

$1200 for 10 weeks

I think the entire package provides economic relief overall for about 10 weeks," Mnuchin told CBS's "Face the Nation." "Hopefully we will kill this virus quicker and we won't need it, but we have liquidity to put into the American economy to support American workers and American business." So, ol' Steve is getting murdered online for this quote. Secretary Mnuchin say $1200 dollars will last 10 weeks. This is popping up all over twitter, facebook, and my news feed. Wake the fuck up people. He isn't referring to the stimulus check. He is referring to the 2.2 trillion (best guess because the people who wrote it don't know the price tag) package. The whole fucking thing. The one where you are a guaranteed to qualify for unemployment if you lost your job due to coronavirus. The one that gives small business loans. The one that gives any waitress making $300 a week roughly $800 a week in unemployment benefits. This is why the news sucks. CNN, MSNB

The 61 year old potato farmer that stunned the world.

-
Ladies and gentlemen, sit back and hear the story of  Cliff Young . He has seemed to enter the realm of half myth, half truth that surrounds all greats but his story is remarkable. Full disclosure: I got this story from a guest pastor at church Sunday. Here we go.  In 1983, people were gathered for the Australia ultra marathon. A 543 mile race from Sydney to Melbourne. Most competitors were in their twenties or thirties and had extensive training and corporate sponserships. Into this group walked a 61 year old man wearing faded overalls and rubber work boots. His name was Cliff Young. He was a sheep and potato farmer from just outside Melbourne. Most considered him a joke at best, delusional at worst. Several journalists questioned if he would survive. This is where the myth/truth comes into play. Some accounts have him running in overalls. Others say he wore windbreakers with holes cut by hand for ventilation. One account claims he wore 10 pairs of running shoes throughout the race. W

B1G has cancelled football.

-
 The B1G and PAC 12 have cancelled fall sports.  Here  is the B1G official statement. I have been thinking about this and getting steadily more upset ever since 1:45 PM. This is horrible. I have avoided really shitting on the COVID-19 media coverage too much because I didn't want to deal with the trolling and "yOu THinK cOroNavIruS iS faKe IF yOu qUEstioN anYthIng!" crowd. I am done. Bring on the trolls. This decision has nothing to do with the coronavirus. The B1G, as a whole, is not concerned about player safety per coronavirus. Nothing has changed in the overall COVID-19 numbers between when they announced the season schedule and when they cancelled. The schedule was announced August 5. Per the  CDC report release July 31  hospitalization rate was 130.1 per 100,000 and mortality rate was 8.4% if you include pneumonia, influenza, and COVID-19 deaths. The  report released August 7   has hospitalization at 137.6 per 100,000 and mortality rate at 7.8% if you include pneumo
