The third day of the Cubs Convention is here, with – among other things – the annual Down on the Farm panel this morning. Always nice to hear from the youngsters, and hear interesting bits from the development staff. That’s obviously of an even higher level of focus right now.

Do you know what that shit does to a person? To put together good numbers and start to roll, only to inexplicably watch it crumble for no apparent reason? To pore over film for hours? To try to fix mechanics that aren’t even broken? AND YOU CAN’T ANSWER A QUESTION? Eat my shorts.
