You can’t define the whole Cubs training staff the last several years with one screen shot…
Or can you?
Kyle Tucker Eyeing Friday return That was Cubs manager Craig Counsell discussing the target return date for Cubs star right fielder Kyle Tucker, who’s been out for a surprisngly long time with a calf injury that wasn’t even initially expected to land him on the injured list. Instead, Tucker has been out for over three weeks, requiring not only an IL stint but also a trip to Tampa to work with a different training staff with whom he’d rehabbed in the past.

See, I knew he was a fan of insurrection (see Sixth, January), but I had no idea he was so into it that he’d even like Star Trek: Insurrection
Picture of a Son’A woman from “Star Trek: Insurrection.” The Son’A were chasing immortality and stretched their faces beyond recognition in an attempt to look younger.

Won’t someone think of the prospects?!?
A scene from The Simpsons. Several women are looking angrily towards someone off screen. One has her arms out, pleading in earnest.

Reddit really is a window to my soul
A mostly black screen, with an emoji of a dog, probably inspired by the doge dog, before Muskrat really ruined the term. Text reads “wow, such empty”

I had a lot of awful takes when I was young, and a lot of regret over it.
But a friend passed this wisdom on to me once, and I’ve taken it to heart. It seems like Hader now knows better, and does better.
A picture of Maya Angelou in a cap and gown, appearing to speak at a graduation. Text reads “Do the best you can until you know better. When you know better, do better.”

A scene from the OG Police Academy movie. A white haired man in a police uniform, a chief or commissioner type, walks to a window and looks out it, longingly. The text reads, “Back in the old days, there were johnsons as far as the eye could see.”

I beg your pardon, DeRo
1980s Braves Legend Moose Granger sitting in his locker. It is the time of white home pullover uniforms. Moose is wearing BC glasses and looking to someone to his left. He is holding a baseball glove between his hands, which each have batting gloves. Moose looks incredibly similar to full-time weird ass human and part-time actor Randy Quaid, whose nephew Jack is fantastic in The Boys and Lower Decks.

Kinda wish these had caught on as a thing during the pandemic
A person wearing a giant contraption of gradually larger hoops starting out small around the chest and growing larger as it reaches towards the ground. By the time it reaches the bottom it has what is probably a 5-foot diameter.

Last dude I remember wearing the nacho helmet at the plate.
Gary Gaetti in a white and blue pinstriped Cubs uniform standing at home plate at Wrigley Field. There is bunting visible in the background on the iconic brick wall backstop, indicating this was likely the home opener in April 1999. Part of a Cincinnati Reds catcher is visible as well.

Advertise your account with a Simpsons image
An image from the Simpsons. Montgomery Burns, who is older than baseball, is yelling at Don Mattingly about his sideburns. Mattingly, looking annoyed, has negative sideburns as if that’s possible. Interesting enough, while this episode aired about six months after Mattingly was benched for having hair that did not meet the Yankees ridiculous grooming rules, it was written and voiced about a month before the flap with George Steinbrenner erupted.

We had a frost warning a couple days ago
Like, I hate hot, but I could use a few more degrees 😂
A depressing image showing the weather forecast for the next several days. Highs in the 50s, lows in the 40s and a consistent chance of rain. Starting Monday it will get into the 60s though.

Some options for June 14:
Che Guevera
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Boy George

Personally, I’ll be celebrating Henry Ossian Flipper day. It’s the day he became the first Black graduate of West Point.

Also, I find it hilarious that Mango Mussolini couldn’t crack the History.com “significant events” list.

Hegseth trying to destroy the evidence like
David Ortiz using a baseball bat to destroy an innocent dugout phone that it typically used to call the bullpen, but Pete Hegseth would undoubtedly use for classified conversations.

Without downloading any new pictures, where are you mentally?
An image of two groundskeepers working on a pitchers mound of a baseball field. There is a subtitle that reads, “they’re shitty.” The clip is part of the fantastic and hilarious 1989 movie Major League

So this is why Worf wished death to the opposition. It was all those barrels!
Lt. Worf fought a barrel. The barrel won.
