this morning i told my 2 year old that today was Ernie Banks' birthday. he's at a stage right now where any mention of the word "birthday" gets him really excited, but his response was "that makes me sad"
But honestly I'd rank them B-A-C right now mainly because I've been burned sooooo many times as a Cubs fan when I get too excited about moves they make. Although I must admit that this is the most excited I've been for baseball season in a long time. I think we can make some noise in the division.
For the record, I love Aggie hoops and am very excited about the 4 signees so I don't want it to seem like I'm dismissing them. In the end, if you made me choose a championship in one of those three sports I'd have to go with the Cubs.
I put $50 on the Cubs to win it all at 12-1 odds. Not only did Back to the Future 2 show the Cubs winning the WS in 2015 but the Chinese New Year started this week and it is the year of the goat.
No reason to have him come up for what I think is 12 games? IMO they should move him around from 3B to OF at AAA while they see if Olt can contribute the first few weeks. Far too valuable to have that extra year in 2021.
