The Cubs are Coming! The Cubs are Coming!

     After a storybook 2015 Season that saw a triumphant return to the playoffs after 7 seasons of either mediocre or just plain bad baseball, the Cubs are back this weekend at the Sheraton Grand Chicago for the 31st Annual Cubs Convention. The first day boasts the Opening Ceremony as well as the return of Friday Night with Ryan Dempster. Saturday is the big day, with the Ricketts family starting things off with their annual panel. After that, it's a flurry of interest panels, an update on the Buisness Operations of the team, and a panel called Cy Young Winners, which pretty much sounds like Jake Arrieta, his beard, and Rick Sutcliffe are gonna get on stage and have a beer together(unless Greg Maddux makes a surprise appearance) Later on that night, Cubs Bingo makes its return to the Convention. Then on Sunday the Convention wraps up with Once A Cub, Always A Cub and the Farm System update. Overall, things are looking very good for the year's Convention. It's the first one to have completely sold out in at least 5 years, having been out of tickets for over a month by now. I'll be there all weekend, giving updates when I can.
