I wanted to try a little lemon juice in my iced tea this morning, so I looked around the kitchen for a transportation mechanism for a little bit of juice. I saw one of those syringes you use to give kids medicine, and figured that was perfect. The only part I didn’t really consider, until it was time to deploy the juice, was that I had to sit there like a total weirdo, retrieving a syringe from my pocket and squirting its contents into my drink in full view of people who unquestionably wondered what I’d just drugged myself with. Whatever. The important thing is that it worked! Tasted lovely. Probably shoulda cleaned the syringe out first, though …

Thank you @pstrop46 for being not only one of the best Cub relievers of all-time but also one of the best human beings around. You deserve a huge standing O that first appearance back at Wrigley. Much love.

I love Pedro Strop.
If choice is Stropy at $1.8-3.3 million or an open roster spot for variety of optionable RPs to prove themselves to be 2020-23 stalwarts, I’m taking the second choice.
Every front office decision being critiqued through the same lens is getting exhausting.

This obituary is so hilarious. This woman who was a die hard Cubs fan passes away on January 19th at the age of 95. Check out what she wanted in her obit. Attn. #ChicagoCubs #TakeThat #BlessYouJoanneDeVrieze pic.twitter.com/yNjZAHbp1d
