did you ever consider it weird that Terry boers insisted on colloquially calling you "Lennie" whenever you did a hit on b&b back in the day? It always felt odd and forced (for some reason) to me.

Len,

How do u feel about Ricketts destroying the charm of Wrigley Field with all the ads all over the place?

That Nuveen sign in left is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

Many times narratives are wrong from the get-go so it's kind of irrelevant, right? Narratives get started in weird places, sometimes by agents who are pushing for their clients.

That is so far above my pay grade...what can I say aside from the Cubs will be on TV every day from here on out. Where that is and how people can find it is stuff for other really smart people to figure out. And I trust they will!

Given the issues we've seen recently with SportsNet Los Angeles and the erstwhile CSN Houston, as well as with the Big Ten Network, why shouldn't fans be worried this time about impasses between cable companies and a new regional sports network, particularly one in competition with the regional sports network partially owned by the market's predominant cable provider?

Yes Joe will manage the Cubs in 2019. I don't EXPECT any big trades/huge FA signings but I always leave open the possibility that if something comes to Theo/Jed that they can't pass up, they will do it.

Family time #1. Walking the dogs (we have 4)...working on some musical projects. I lift weights 2x a week and run outside 5-6x a week. And I read as many nonfiction books as I can (kindle/Audiobooks).

Welcome back, Len. McNeil & Parkins had Pat Hughes on today and Pat shared some of his favorite off season activities/hobbies.

I'm curious as to how you spend some off season time? I can only assume that music and hockey are included?

Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. You were absolutely right about Rose but the Twitter mob is very loud and strong.

What's going on? Well, it's a team that won 95 games and has one of baseball's highest payrolls. Who said they passed on Harper? We don't know how much $ he will command. Every team has a budget and I trust Theo has a better grasp on all this than you or I. This is where the narrative thing really gets in the way. People have been talking Harper and Cubs for about 2 years but we don't know if any of it had any merit. I also think there is an assumption that you win WS if you get Harper and off-season is total bust if you don't get him. That's not how this works in reality.

I think the park has never looked better since I first saw a game there in 1992. The changes have been amazing and long overdue. Without them, I think the park was on its final breath...
