Podcast: Cubs Convention, Bears talk to the The Beav and the best and worst of Chicago sports meda
Harry knew what to bring to a Cubs Convention for a uniform roll out. A drink.

The Cubs Convention is looming, Kyle Tucker has a new (short) contract, and is Alex Bregman on the way? The Bears are talking in person to Mike "The Beav" McCarthy and is Tom Brady tampering with Ben Johnson? Bob Uecker's gone. And the Sun-Times has its list of the 20 best and five worst (only five?) sports media folks in Chicago. Tom Loxas joins Andy to discuss all of this and more.

So, the Cubs are calling these their "blues" alternates, because Chicago - blues - whatever. They are not replacing the dark blue crawling bear alternates (which should die in a fire), but they are replacing the awful City Connects (thank god). And, they appear to be wearing white pants with them at home and grays on the road, which should look nice, and much better than the leisure suit look that teams get when they go all powder blue head to toe.

Here's sportslogos.net with more on the uniforms. The guitar pick Chicago emblem is a very nice touch.
