Text from my dad after this ballgame:

sorry I didn’t acknowledge receipt of your email, I was laying down in the mossy bog and letting the earth-rich peat reclaim my bones

@bcbsara.bsky.social this is the essay I was telling you about!!

I’ll have a lyric essay on great baseball defense as the marriage of instinct and execution published soon. I’ll be talking DRS, comparisons of the 25/26 Cubs to the 2016 team, & plays/players from both. So cool—I don’t think anyone else is writing literature on analytics! ⚾️✨❤️

The new posture bra I ordered arrived today and I asked my husband, “Do I look hot in this medical device?” Thankfully he eagerly said yes. 😂

Cool wildlife, bro

24-hour marinated skirt steak with garlic, lime, teriyaki, and black pepper. Served with basmati lime rice and grilled broccoli and sweet peppers.

My husband is walking around calling me a master naturalist and it’s HOT

Yesterday: carp, crane, snake, ducklings

Saw a large fishing spider today

Bump

Oh we’re having fun now, Cubs

justified PCA chants for PCA

PETECROWARMSTRONG!!!! 6-4 CUBS!!!!

Oooo I just did an everything shower, am sitting on the couch watching the Cubs while moisturized, snacking on Swedish candy, and drinking a cappuccino. Life goals truly complete

Has someone made a “Little Jerry” joke about the cockfighting thing yet?

Lake Michigan carrot chip anyone?

You guys better watch out since it’s only May and Happer’s got 10 homers already. That man’s butt is bouncing toward free agency…

I have a new, very vulnerable poem up at One Art. And a new outfit! Please read. Link in thread.

when the Cubs lose four in a row and I can no longer assume another ten-game winning streak

I’m convinced “Patient Pete” is just bizarro world PCA who comes out to play just to goof on us

Mo Baller with the “tippy tippy day day” there

Grant Holmes, drop the curly girl routine! (But first, stop dropping breaking balls in for whiffs.)

I just finished eating buffalo wings & this is my shirt. Please clap

Losing isn’t as fun as winning. No further comments.

10+10 =20 (the Cubs are real)

10 x 2

Michael Busch has seen 37 pitches tonight? Is that legal?

When you want to go to a ballgame but your home team’s park is Globe Life Field…can’t relate

Conforto really just rubbed on the Ben Gay and said, “not done yet”

I’ve seen Ben Brown the starter. This isn’t him. It might be Benny Black, but it’s not Ben Brown 🙂‍↕️😂

SOURCE: Moldy Beluga has begun taking wet swings as he rehabs from the perforated dubis he suffered in April.

cubs now have the longest cubs winning streak at wrigley field since 1935 lol

“This is the most fun I’ve ever had, maybe in my life… It feels like I’m living a dream.” -Ryan Rolison

Elly just kind of said nope there

A few days ago I thought Rolison was not long for this roster but he looks motivated to stay.

@girlsattheballpark.bsky.social ‼️

I want to start a new meditation practice for Type A female baseball fans where we listen to uneventful, old radio broadcasts of our teams winning games while do gentle yoga and somatic breathing. I think we all need it.

I am an employee being recognized.

TIL Michael Conforto's mom Tracie is a three time Olympic medalist

HIS MOM IS A SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMER! #Cubs

Wow from Conforto, PCA, & Nico. That’s CLUTCH

I love terry francona but every time I see or hear his name I remember this story from the 2016 World Series

Lavender & periwinkle & a sound bath @ work today

This one’s for the Ranters! Had fun with @bcbsara.bsky.social at the final game of a SWEEP today!

Had a blast watching the Cubs sweep the DBacks with the lovely @sandrapoetry.bsky.social

I so much love when Alex calls a ballgame. No giggle-giggle inside jokes with the sideline reporter. Just an intelligent, well-called ballgame. #Cubs #GoCubsGo
