The stogies aren’t part of the problem?

This year for sure!

The Cubbies will at least get to visit the World Series Trophy at their first game of the regular season March 28th in Texas.

My lifelong Cub fan dad died at 95 in June. I don’t think that does it, doc.

Being a Cubs fan just means you’re an accomplished masochist. Yes, I am one.

Go Cubbies!

Not baseball season…

Aren’t the Cubs still in first place?

I’ll take Cubs fans over Blackhawks fans any time.

So is his blood pressure better right now … since it’s the off-season?

Not much different being a Twins fan.

Will they disappoint again? Probably.

AT least he’s not a Mets fan. We all of heart palpitations throughout the season.

We can confirm this. Look for a persistent population of high blood pressure patients on the North Side.

Yep. It wouldn’t be my Pirates. We’ve gone completely apathetic. Thanks for Nutting, Bob!

That could do it!

It was a pleasure watching the superbowl and not caring who wins.

2016 Cubs,perfect‼️ Maybe this should read “da Bears”⁉️

Just sign Bellinger already!

Being a Pirates fan is more of the same

Sent this on to cousins in Phoenix who are solid fans.

And also smoking:)

Buffalo Bills, again!

Great it’s already on the fridge

Jeff MacNelly covered the baseball mania well in “Play Ball!” with lots of gags based on the Cubs.

That’ll do it for sure!

He can’t have as much stress as fans of the Cleveland Indians, who the Cubs cheated out of the World Series title.

Color me Cubbie blue too…
