So now we know that the Cubs are most probably going to be in it the rest of the season. And we also know that it’s not going to be anywhere as easy as anyone thought. But do the trade deadline pickups, John Grabow and Tom Gorzelanny, really know what they are getting into? Did they think they just won the lottery by going from the Pirates to the Cubs? Of course, we’re not sure what they are thinking and on top of that they are left-handed and think with a different side of the brain than I do – but we here at the Cub Factor would like to give them a heads-up on a few things about this Cubs team so they know what they are in for:
* Don’t worry about remembering the name of the guy playing second base. Eventually everyone takes a turn playing there. Including you.
* You don’t have to laugh at Ryan Dempster’s Harry Caray impression just to be polite. It only makes him think it’s actually funny.
* It’s okay to think the facilities at Wrigley Field are antiquated and horrendous. But it’s not okay to say it out loud because you’ll piss off a lot of stupid people.
