When Do the Cubs Shake Off the Winter Blues?
Spring Training: It's Not Just for Plants
Alright, baseball fans, let's talk about the sweet nectar of hope that is spring training. It's that magical time of year when baseball players swap their cozy winter gear for uncomfortable-looking uniforms and we, the fans, swap our hibernation mode for delusional optimism. And since we’re talking about hope, let’s focus on the Chicago Cubs – a team that’s given us plenty of reasons to hope, and even more reasons to question our sanity.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
So, when exactly do these lovable losers, er, hopeful contenders start their spring training journey? Well, unlike groundhogs who only have to predict one day, the Cubs have a whole schedule to figure out. But fear not, dear reader, I've done the heavy lifting (aka googled it) for you.
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
