"I always tell people I want to live to be 150 and they say why would you want to do that. I say, well there's a few people I haven't made mad yet, I want to get them." — Mike Ditka Rest in peace Coach Ditka, we will carry on that important work in your memory. #RIP

PROGRAMMING NOTE: Nisei Lounge will be open one hour before whenever tomorrow’s ALDS White Sox playoff game is ultimately scheduled. We sure hope that Sox ALDS game 3 is at 3pm because DAY BASEBALL ROCKS and that will also likely mean the Padres defeated the Brewers tonight.

This is really interesting stuff, and Canada has a very similar story with the Vancouver Asahi team in our internment camp. There's a tremendous National Film Board documentary on them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxBW...

Welp. That’s it for 2026 Cubs baseball. It was interesting.🤷‍♂️ We’ll still be here for your off-season alcohol needs 7 days a week, but as is tradition we will cut way back on Cubs baseball tweets until Opening Day 2027. See you all for the 2027 home opener on April 22, 2027!

We put $4 @GooseIsland drafts on today for a crosstown Chicago playoff DAY BASEBALL beer special. Southside? Northside? Whatever, we got $4 Wild Card beer deals for you. And no we won’t serve it to you with a frothy pour in the whimsical glass. Staff hates doing dishes.

Goodnight from Rogers Park, with fond memories of 1984 Cubs NL East victory. Plastic Bud ad lifted from Hamilton’s back in the day, and appreciated every time I wash my dishes. @niseilounge.bsky.social @buckweaver.bsky.social
This date in baseball commemorating the Cubs winning the NL East title. Over a kitchen sink with a faucet like a flamingo and soap and sponges; a red plastic sign designed to look like the Wrigley Field marquee. It’s a Budweiser ad, but the spot on the sign that would have had text reads “‘84 N L EAST CHAMPS.” 42 years old and still somehow mostly intact.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more! In winter there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility: But when the call of DAY BASEBALL blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the beer! We’re open. LFG. ☀️⚾️🍻🙌

Another way to look at how dominant Pete Crow-Armstrong's season has been is the fWAR gap between him and the next-best player in the rankings. From today's Morning Lineup newsletter: links.mlb.mlbemail.com/s/vb/Jhua0sq...

We opened on time seven days in a row! But nobody who works here went to Michigan. So don’t worry, we’re not going to storm the field or anything to celebrate that. Because we’re Nisei Lounge and we got (a few shreds of) self-respect and pride. #NiseiFacts

In case of NBC Sports Sunday Night Baseball rain delay we stand ready to help. #NiseiCares Also we really appreciated Joey Votto’s career (truly) even as a Cubs nemesis. He played hard (even when lost out in left field), and was always fun to watch and a good intetview. 🫡🍻
