i can't imagine what special kind of nuts you have to be to take wil myers and manuel margot over all those dudes we have who are all better, or all those dudes on the dodgers
i'm too lazy to do it so anyone wanna do my thing for me and check cubs players social media accounts to see if anyone's stories had anything about traveling or being in LA?

pretty sure it was actually written The point stands that Verducci's book is incomplete information from a second-hand source well, yeah. duh. i was just more shocked that dude wasn't aware of verducci's book than anything. it's a great book. buy it.
