I Need An Owen Caissie Promotion More Than I Need Water

The Chicago Cubs’ offense has been a bit of a travesty over the past number of months. Hell, the entire team has been a shell of what it once was; going 5-5 in their last 10, and 10-10 in their last 20. This mediocre stretch has done a number on this team’s place in the… read more
