the missus – Joe's Bleachers https://staging.joesbleachers.com Welcome to the Cheap Seats, pal. Wed, 04 May 2016 17:23:56 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 https://staging.joesbleachers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/cropped-FAVICON-ICON-2-32x32.png the missus – Joe's Bleachers https://staging.joesbleachers.com 32 32 OUTTA THE MOUTHS OF BABES; IN THIS CASE, THE MISSUS. https://staging.joesbleachers.com/outta-the-mouths-of-babes/ Tue, 03 May 2016 03:56:56 +0000 http://staging.joesbleachers.com/?p=1104 So, I’m watchin’ the Cubs unload on the Pirates tonight and, at some point, one of the announcers says, “… and the Cubs have a commanding lead.” At which point the lovely Mrs Schlombowski utters, “That’s a phrase we’re gonna hear a lot this year.”

No wonder I love this woman.

You might think this would be expected. No, not the fact that I love my wife. Rather that the missus of a ginormous Cubs fan would be an equally ginormous Cubs fan. Not the case, my friend. The wife puts up with my Cubs obsession the best she can. For example, she only went partially ballistic when I shaved the Cubs logo in my chest hair. She let’s me hang my W flag on our front door. She knows players; Rizzo, Bryant, Arrieta, LaStella. I even get her to a game now and then. And … AND … she wears the Cubbies t-shirts I get her. Let me tell you, my friend … “Cubs” on a t-shirt on the missus … best use of typography I’ve ever seen. Still, to say the missus is a Cubs fan would be like sayin’ Hillary Clinton is a swim suit model. Uh-uh.

My rather long-winded (thus typical Joe Schlombowski) point is this: The missus may not be Chicago’s biggest Cubs fan, but that didn’t keep her from dropping a Socrates-like observation on me tonight. It’s the kinda thing that never occurs to someone conditioned to saying “Wait ’til next year” by the mid-season classic. Anyway, the missus really pine-tars my bat … especially when she’s wearin’ a Cubs t-shirt. Hoo boy, I love that woman.

Joe
