Just a reminder, because the first Ottumwa High School Activities softball game went long today, our 2nd game will not start at 2:15 as scheduled. The start time will depend on how long it takes to complete the current Decorah - Cedar Rapids Jefferson game.

Grr. I hate when I listen back and realize my call of a play was lousy.

So, so tired of telling people the same thing over and over and over.

Weird seeing real grass at US Bank Stadium. #USMNT #GoldCup2025

Grr.

GAME ONE FINAL Ottumwa High School Activities softball 10 Burlington 0 5 innings Addy Thompson strikes out 7 in a 1-hit shutout. Sophia Mendibles hits her 3rd home run of the season.

Another long drive home, coming up. (And yes, I'm following the new law and not touching my phone while I drive.)

Glad I'm not broadcasting this one.

The strike zone has gotten worse in the Cubs game.

I'd feel better about the chances if the bats had shown any threat tonight, but they've been inept through 8 innings.

I hate to toss cold water on everyone, but I don't think PCA touched the base.

Btw, the fact that Sandy Martinez--who caught Kerry Wood's 20-K game--has a son in the big leagues is pretty cool.

Pitcher injuries and calf injuries are the bane of my sports existence.

The last time the Cubs hit six homers against the Cardinals...I believe that was the NLDS clinching game in October 2015.

Wonder what happened to the guy who told Tommy Birch the Cubs should cut Rea and call up Maeda immediately. 🤔

Ok, this is something: Michael Busch is the 3rd Cubs player with a 3-HR game against the Cardinals. All 3 did it on Independence Day: Moises Alou on July 4, 2003 and Hank Leiber on July 4, 1939. C'mon.

The Chicago Cubs today.
