I don't know how this hasn't happened already, but the Chicago Cubs entertained a pair of actual cubs today before a spring training game against the Brewers and even though these little guys will grow up to be vicious carnivores, it's pretty damned adorable. They sound like baby dragons.

The cubs are 10-12 weeks old according to a women speaking in the video, so they are pretty useless for anything other than milling around on the grass and being held like babies. And, courtesy of that wonderful segue, here's Anthony Rizzo holding the two baby bears. It's tough to tell if they are doing the narrow-eyed annoyed face because Rizzo is holding them, or just can't open their eyes that much.

And here's another one of Rizzo enjoying Chicago's continued youth movement:

Baby animals are the cutest, of course, but just how taken was Rizzo with these cubs? Take a look at his face up there, and then look at this tweet.

Moments before that last pic one of them peed on Rizzo. Love it

Baby bears: so cute they could piss on you and you wouldn't care.
