When the dog bites, when the bee stings ...

… when I'm feeling sad, I simply look at Joe, National League Manager of the Year!

Oh, this was such a magical year for my Cubs. Happy to see them getting love from the national media and the MLB PTB.

Why is this man drenched in Gator Aid?

Behold the NL Rookie of the Year, the Cubs' very own Kris Bryant!

Since it's mid-November, his teammates can't bestow a Gator Aid bath on him for this particular honor. But the photo you see here might have been taken after one of his 26 home runs or 99 RBIs.

Every single voting member of the Baseball Writers' Association of America cast their ballot for KB. So this morning, I'll say his batting average is 100.00.

The world has been a sad, complicated place lately. It's easy to let things get me down. That's why I'm so glad I'm a Cub fan. Look at that face. He's our third baseman, and he's Rookie of the Year!
