Indeed, a Hall of Fame manager once wrote a bestseller called “Nice Guys Finish First.”
I fully expect a slew of warm social gatherings, mutual taint massages, and all 25 guys referring to each other as “Pal.”

I commend the geniuses in the Cub’s front office for going so far out of their way to put together a ballclub in which harmony and brotherly love are the most important qualities.
I think this bodes well for a highly successful season, like in ’05 and ’06. Those were the halcyon years, in which there was a lot of sweetness and light-heartedness, and none of the dreaded qualities like scrappiness and righteous anger.
