In a couple of days, it will be the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving. This is when you head home, eat too much food, and watch as the members of your family fall asleep while watching football. It doesn't really get much better than that. Unless of course all you care about is baseball.
The Cubs have recently released their spring schedule which begins with a game in Scottsdale on February 28 against the Giants. Check out the full schedule. So if you are sitting at home not caring about the Detroit game, you can fantasize about the Cubs upcoming season and the success that they are sure to have.
There will be another member of the Cubs family missing next season: team President John McDonough. He has been associated with the Cubs for 24 years and became the President in October 2006. He replaced Andy MacPhail after a 96-loss season.
"The purpose of why I've been asked to do this job is for the Cubs to win the World Series -- not win the Wild Card or win the division or win the pennant," McDonough said when introduced as interim president last year. "It's time to win. It's time to win the World Series."
Under his reign, the Cubs didn't make it to the World Series but by winning the NL League, they greatly improved their performance during regular season. McDonough will now become the President to the NHL Chicago Blackhawks.
So just because football dominates the Thanksgiving holiday, it doesn't mean that there aren't happenings in baseball. Go home, have a great meal and visit with family, and don't forget about baseball.
