If you create a stupid Twitter account in the Chicago Cubs’ universe, the Cubs Twitterati will find you. And if you punctuate your stupid Twitter account with a stupid hashtag – #FireTheo – I’m probably going to roast it.
That’s what happened a few minutes ago on Twitter (social media is swell), and it’s still going on now. Here’s a snippet of the fun:

And it keeps going, and going. Dozens of new entries since I started typing this very post. Congratulations, Cubs Twitterati. You funny.
This, by the way, is why you should be on Twitter, and why should be following Bleacher Nation.
