Chicago Cubs News: Merry Christmas, Cubs fans!

As all of you wake on this Christmas morning, we want to wish all Chicago Cubs’ fans a Merry Christmas! Whether or not you celebrate the season, it’s a time to be together with family and friends–and catch up on yesterday’s Cubs’ news.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah. Whichever season you celebrate, you’re celebrating it with millions of other Chicago Cubs‘ fans across the world. And just remember, make your Christmas wishes early. I feel like the hangover of the World Series took its toll, but there’s no more hangover next year. So I wish for the Cubs to return–and win–the World Series.

The Washington Nationals have a new coach in Dave Martinez. It could be Bryce Harper‘s final year. They’ve got the pitching so the Nationals might go big this year. And “big” could include former Cubs’ Wade Davis and Jake Arrieta. It was one thing to watch the Nats’ falter with Dusty Baker. But with Martinez at the helm, things are likely to be different. Losing to them is one thing. Losing to them with Martinez and the potential of Davis and Arrieta? Yikes.
