@LaurenceWHolmes- as a Sox fan, but as someone who covers Chicago sports, how awesome was it to throw out the first pitch at Wrigley? Don’t let your love for Nico and Joe blind you. All things considered, what would you rank it, 1-10?

@BleacherNation This is the best piece of writing I’ve read on this site ever (been reading since 2009). Is it because, like Brett, I’m just a tick on the other side of 40? Maybe. But wow, this hit. Hard. In a way that a piece of literature (let alone a Cubs blog post) hasn’t in a LONG TIME.
@cody__cubs, major congrats! Good things happen to good people and proud of you from battling past adversity! And let me be the first to say the following:

Man, @SeanRossSapp, I don’t know how you have the energy for it all, but damn I respect you for it. Days and days of timeline entertainment. Do me a favor, go have some Skyline Chili or whatever y’all do in Ohio and take a break. Thanks for being informative and entertaining!
