The Cubs finally spent some $$ and got Bregman

Now they can send MAGA Shaw somewhere.

The first Spring Training game is 2/20, 40 days and nights.

They don't care about the Cubs or the fans or the ballpark; all they care about it is making money. I hate what they did to beautiful historic Wrigley Field with the electronic scoreboard and advertising all over the walls. And I hate their politics, too.

They'd better not trade Nico.

Now we just need the pitchers to stay healthy.
