A LOVE STORY

Barry Laminack: A Valentine's Day letter to my one true love

Barry Laminack: A Valentine's Day letter to my one true love
Valentine's Day is for love...and this one is Barry's. Wikipedia

I love you. I've always loved you.

From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew we would be together forever. I knew I didn't want anything in my life but you.

My mom said we’d grow apart one day. She was wrong. I love you now more than I ever have.

When I wake up in the morning, I think about you.

Throughout the day, I think about you.

When I lay in bed at night, you’re all I think about.

I can't get you off my mind. I talk about you all day long. My friends and co-workers are sick of hearing about you, but I don’t care.

Nothing can stop the love I have for you, not even my wife.

I wish I could tell my her all about us, but she doesn’t understand. She’s jealous of us and what we have together.

Some people don't understand why I love you so much, and that's fine. They don't know you like I know you, they don't love you like I love you, and they haven't seen what we've been through together.

And sure I watch you with other men, but it doesn't bother me because I need you in my life so bad that I'm willing to share you with those other guys.

You make me feel so alive.

You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me angry, and  I wouldn't trade any of that for the world, because most importantly you make me happy.

And I don’t care if you have balls, use a stick, or when it gets weird and it’s just your hands or feet, I love you for you.

So thank you for always being there for me.

I love you sports.

PS: I'm sorry I cheat on you sometimes with video games.

That's five straight losses for Houston. Composite Getty Image.

Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a tiebreaking two-run homer for his first major league hit, and the Chicago Cubs swept the Houston Astros with a 3-1 victory on Thursday.

Nico Hoerner had three hits and Mike Tauchman went 1 for 1 with three walks as Chicago won for the fourth time in five games. Hayden Wesneski (2-0) pitched 2 1/3 perfect innings for the win in relief of Javier Assad.

Houston has lost a season-high five straight and eight of nine overall. At 7-19, it is off to its worst 26-game start since it was 6-20 in 1969.

First-year manager Joe Espada was ejected by plate umpire Jansen Visconti in the top of ninth.

Crow-Armstrong was recalled from Triple-A Iowa when Cody Bellinger was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with two fractured ribs. The 22-year-old outfielder, who is considered one of the team’s top prospects, made his big league debut last year and went 0 for 14 while appearing in 13 games.

He picked a perfect time for his first major league hit.

Houston had a 1-0 lead before Dansby Swanson scampered home on a fielder’s choice grounder for Miguel Amaya in the sixth.

Espada then replaced Rafael Montero with Bryan Abreu, who threw a wild pitch with Crow-Armstrong trying to sacrifice Amaya to second. Crow-Armstrong then drove his next pitch deep to right, delighting the crowd of 29,876 at Wrigley Field.
