Best of Chicago Cubs Social Media: Week of April 13
In case you’re keeping track, it’s been 39 days since the Cubs played their last spring training game. While nothing can replace the feeling of watching them sprint from the dugout to roars from the packed Wrigley Field crowd, we can at least continue to fill the void by following them on social media. After all, the team has to endure this just like the rest of us have to.
