Jason Heyward, a strong good baseball man who left the aging team he was with for less than a year for a new team in a better city with other strong baseball men, is not popular around St. Louis.

Here's Your Gallery Of Sad Cubs Fans
The Cubs won 97 games this season, tied for their most regular season wins since 1945. In the playoffs they laid waste to the Pirates in the Wild Card game and the Cardinals in the NLDS.

Kyle Schwarber Was Once A High School Show Choir Stud
Cubs rookie Kyle Schwarber is now best known as the guy who mashed a tater onto the top of the Wrigley Field video board, but socking prodigious dingers isn’t his only skill.

Kyle Schwarber Crushes Two-Run Homer Into The Allegheny

The Cubs Might Have Screwed Themselves By Screwing Kris Bryant
This Wednesday, the Cubs play the Pirates in the NL wildcard game. The game is in Pittsburgh, but it’s worth noting that the Cubs finished one win away from hosting it themselves.
