In a word, "no." The Cubs are loaded. And you can't begin to imagine how much it hurts me to say that!

Yo La Tengo

Gary Sheffield?

Winston -- Harmon Killebrew, Alex Rodriguez and Ken Griffey Jr.?

Opening Day is here. Happy New Year, baseball fans.

And good on the person who sent PT the Facebook note -- look at how meaningful it was to PT. In the last few years, I've started sending email notes to journalists who write stories or columns I enjoy (and even some with whom I disagree). Without fail, I get a nice email back thanking me for taking the time to write.

I watched "Lucky" last night. But it was the wrong "Lucky." I mistakenly watched the "Lucky" movie set in NYC (starring Bari Kang) where a nice cab driver/auto mechanic from India (nicknamed "Lucky") becomes a driver for a slime ball, hooker-killing, drug dealer. No Harry Dean Stanton. No David Lynch. I'm an idiot.

Congrats, PT. That's a great story.

Winston: Sean Casten is our choice. But there are several good options.

Winston: My wife and I have attended countless events in the last year to vote out Roskam.. Especially my wife. She actually had a sit-down with him and he made the mistake of man-splaining to her (she's a law professor). She's kind of lost her mind over this.

They Might Be Giants

Yo La Tengo's new one drops tomorrow.
