Nice story, Mike. Nice room too.

Thanks! If I may say (with regards to this season so far)....its been fun, with a side order of unexpected. I know this is our last hoo-rah with contracts coming up, so hopefully we can keep it up over 162 and get hot at the end?

Swami prediction of the year........ Cubs over the Padres in 6 for the NLCS, we lose in 7 to Tampa

and yes I have taken my meds today (kidding)

Welcome aboard Mike! The Cubs programs are great but I’m really impressed by the paint job! You must have tremendous patience (and/or tons of painters tape) to get the pinstripes looking so good.

I am still concerned about the starting pitching. The bull pen has been lights out but I wonder if that can last the entire year. As an old, old Cubs guy I have seen too many May, June, July, beginning of August and the swoons!!! If you have any Cubs needs holler at me. In addition, as I found out, there are many people on this site that will be glad to help you out.

The paint job!! I have done much more simple room painting and appreciate what is involved - I can't imagine attacking the paint job in your room!
The collection is nice too. Thanks for sharing. Welcome to Net 54!
