Cubs 3, Phillies 3

Remember back last month when I said it’d take a legendary Chooch-fueled come-from-behind victory for the Phillies to tie the Cubs in the battle for my newborn’s fandom soul? Even though it wasn’t a Cubs-Phillies game, last night’s legendary Chooch-fueled come-from-behind victory over the Dodgers deserved consideration and, ultimately, approval. CHOOOOOOOCH.

Dept. of Credit Where Credit’s Due

I’ll be the first to admit I haven’t been easy on Gov. Chris Christie. This is because 1) I feel he’s too arrogant for his own good and 2) I wanted to move back to Jersey when I had a child and, having had that child, the educational/budget-cut climate of Jersey is such that...

Louden instructed me to put his Cubs onesie on today after seeing last night’s 12-6 throttling of the hapless Philadelphia Phillies. Who am I to question his wishes?

Weekend Reading Roundup (Parenthood* and Deadspin** Delays)***

I pride myself on timeliness, so I apologize about my tardiness. It isn’t the weekend anymore, right? So how can I justify recommend weekend reading material? Shame upon me. But I’m a gone do it anyhow. Because I also pride myself on continuity, and if I just accepted the “eh, just skip a week...

It may still be the Top of the 1st, and there are many, many Phillies outfits in Louden’s dresser, but the fact of the matter is this: Just days after his name adorned the Wrigley Field board, a Build-a-Bear arrived (thanks J.D. et al!!!) complete with an outfit that extended the mighty Cubs’ lead....

Cubs 1, Phillies 0

Let the historical record reflect that June 29, 2010 marked the beginning of the end of the Cubs’ curse. For it was then that Louden Charles Hickey was born to a Philadelphian (fine, South Jerseyian, at the time) who allowed his fandom to follow a Phillies second-baseman when he and his #23 jersey were...

Maybe I just should’ve waiting till today to post the reading roundup till today. But I didn’t. So, I have some follow-up action is necessary. Short-and-sweet style … Bronze: A police chief from Massachusetts says a property-tax cap like the one proposed in NJ hurts The Man; an odd financial offshoot of TBI deaths: student-loan-altering...

Weekend Reading Roundup (Louden’s Birth Week Edition)

What kind of dad would I be if I didn’t squeeze a baby pic into a post that has nothing whatsoever to do with my boy, Louden Charles Hickey. Since L.C. is pining for some fatherly cuddling, I’ll make this week’s Roundup short and sweet. Shockingly, I did have time to read the Sunday papers....
