I just saw a Facebook post that today is Baseball Solstice. We are halfway between the last pitch of the World Series and the first pitch of Spring Training.

I did not do independent research to verify if this is true.

way too much. I remember the good old days, my dad loved the Bears during the Ditka years and took me to two games at Soldier Field.

7. Giants: There's a new GM in town. Buster Posey.

He already helped sign Matt Chapman and snagged Willie Adames early.



Farhan, "He gone!"

More to come?

Unlike Farhan, Buster believes in a stready lineup of really good players, with leadership qualities, not a crazy quilt, and certainly no more walking wounded who take a half season to even start with the team.

So, with this change, the hot stove league should be interesting.

He knows what he wants because he WAS that leader and way above average contributor.
