Ah, Chicago Cubs NLDS Twitter. In short, it is pretty much the same thing as Chicago Blackhawks postseason Twitter. We’ve articulated that in detail here at this link. So now that we’ve covered the worst of Cubs NLDS Twitter, let’s take a look at what’s actually GOOD about NLDS Twitter.
Here are some of the highlights. Notice how we never ever ever use official accounts and newspaper beat writer or television reporter accounts in these kinds of posts? Nor should we, those accounts are soooooooooo dull and corporate 99% of the time.
I try to stay away from the “Captain Obvious” style Tweets. You know the type “Cubs are up 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth”
*VOMIT* On to the good stuff.
This Tweet right here is worth the price of Cubs NLDS Twitter admission by itself. Tweet of the month nominee:
Just asked a #Cubs fan for an interview outside of Wrigley. His response: "No, because I don't want my other girlfriend knowing I'm here."

A bit much, but still very much indicative of Cubs NLDS zeitgeist:
I would fly to Europe and have very expensive surgery to be able to have Kris Bryant's children.
