Cubs a Go Go
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein
Pitch well today Ted.
And please get those bats going early Cubs!!

I HATE the Astros
I’ve come to realize that it’s partially my fault the Cubs have had a bad season…
I haven’t hated enough.
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
Don't blame yourself - the Astros were never really the problem.
You should’ve hated the Cardinals more.
