We used to say "good pitching day" when two or more of our half dozen legitimate pitching prospects were going on the same day.  Now that we have closer to like 15 legitimate pitching prospects damn near every day is "good pitching day," so I don't really post that anymore.

I like this way better

I will be at the game to see Ben Brown and whatever  hijinks PCA is up to. I’ll be with the entire family tonight

I don’t. It’s supposed to be steady rain until 10. I’m in the bar area with my family if you want to say hello. Look for the Cubs gear.

I saw the weather report and decided against going. Does not help that I was not feeling well.
