It was recently announced that the World Series Champion Chicago Cubs are getting their very own movie based on David Ross' upcoming memoir. Although the film is in its preliminary pitch stage, we all can't help but fantasize who would be most appropriate to step up to the plate and act as one of our beloved champions. So, here is a list of all of the optimal actors for the job.

1. Zachary Levi as Kris Bryant

Give him some blue contacts and he'd be the perfect pick for the young MVP and baseball stud.

2. Channing Tatum as Anthony Rizzo

Besides the striking resemblance, Tatum would also be able to capture Rizzo's goofy side and devotion to the Bryzzo bromance.

3. Bradley Whitford as Joe Maddon

There's no doubt that Whitford is perfect for the manager's cool, calm and collected role. It's hard to even tell the two apart.

4. Shad Moss as Addison Russell

Shad Moss, aka Bow Wow, could take his acting career to the World Series of Hollywood (the Oscars) by playing the shortstop's position.

5. Terry O'Quinn as David Ross

Although a little older, Terry O'Quinn's friendly attitude and smililng face is perfect for the role of the catcher (as long as he channels his inner John Locke rather than the black smoke monster).

6. Manny Montana as Javier Baez

Manny Montana has already shown that he's capable of a baseball player's role in Undrafted, so it only seems fitting that he take on Javy's position. Plus, they even have the same arched eyebrows and sly smirk.

7. Brian Geraghty as Ben Zobrist

This Chicago P.D. actor would easily be able to hit it out of the park by acting as the Cubs' second baseman.

8. Mahershala Ali as Dexter Fowler

How could Ali NOT play Fowler? Look at them!

9. Harold Perrineau as Jason Heyward

Perrineau and Heyward's strike-out pearly whites are a perfect match.

10. Ben Affleck as Jake Arrieta

Both Affleck and Arrieta channel their inner burly lumberjack man when they flaunt their beards, so this role definitely belongs to Affleck, Not to mention that their last names are weirdly similar.

11. Adrien Brody as Kyle Hendricks

Brody and Hendricks look strikingly alike, giving support to Brody's inclusion in the Cubs' Hollywood bullpen.

12. Dave Franco as Albert Almora Jr.

With their arched eyebrows and smirky smiles, Franco easily earns the title of Almora doppelganger.

13. George Clooney as Theo Epstein

Stern looks and savvy styles really bring these two close together. Both men are a real catch in their respective fields, so it's only right that Clooney takes on Epstein's character.

14. Russell Brand as John Lackey

I just get major Russell Brand vibes from John Lackey. Their bold attitudes and disregard of others' opinions of them match up perfectly.

15. Bill Murray as Bill Murray

Because he's basically an honorary member at this point.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
