Kate, I can’t tell if you’re the most witty journalist/blogger in history, or is it just Friday and you ran out of hooooWHHHHSHHShoooo's to give.

Darya Fowler seems nice too

Is this the start of Cubs backlash? Can we have this without them winning the WS? It could be just like the Red Sox, but without them actually having to be good for a while first. I think what I’m asking for is reasonable.

Cubs fans are going to start hating Joe Maddon if they don’t win the WS this year.

Dear Drew Magary,

an update if you live in the following states its the law that if your windshield wipers are on your lights need to be on as well.. Wont pull u over for it in most cases but if they do it can be a $100+ fine:
