I like the Cubs. I really like this year’s Cubs. Here are some things I like about this year’s Cubs:
The Winning
They’re doing a lot of it. It is fun. Hope they keep it up.
Tony Two Chains
Every few minutes for the last eighteen hours I’ve thought about how the chains need to be charged and I have been unable to stop chuckling. I could not sleep last night because of the persistent need to chuckle.
Yu Darvish’s Hair
The full Yu Darvish experience, really, but because I’m more of a radio Cubs fan, I forget about the hair.
David Ross’s Voice
Doesn’t get enough love as a good-voice guy.
Kris Bryant Being Such a Nice Boy
He is just a very nice young man. And I appreciate that.
David Bote Dominating
The 2018 NL Rookie of the Year (as named by All Things NIT), not slowing down.
The Fact I’ve Forgotten About This Offseason
Completely don’t remember it. Seems like it worked out, right?
Bullpen Roulette
Oh yeah. Fun until it isn’t.
Bunch of Other Things Too
But this is just going to turn into me listing eight or nine more players, so no luck.
Oh Yeah and the Magic School Bus Shirts
Can’t forget about those.
Editor’s Note: Pat and Ron were included in this list, but we’ve got Pat and Ron love coming on Sunday in essay form, so rather than make it redundant, we agreed that I would buy NIT Stu three donuts tomorrow morning in exchange for him letting me temporarily monopolize the Pat and Ron love.
