  • When the Cubs win the World Series, it will literally be the best thing since sliced bread. You see, sliced bread was invented in 1928... 20 years after the Cubs last title.
    The Wright Brothers flew the 1st airplane in 1903
    5 years later the Cubs won a World Series.
    Since that last World Series we have flown to....

    Oh Nevermind
    You all get it.

    Hehehehehe
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
  • An early camp arrival, Jon Lester emphasized the importance of bonding as he prepares to lead a deep rotation toward a postseason run.


    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Deep Rotation?
    Postseason run?

    Let me take a guess.
    This writer was the 1st to receive medical marijuana, here in Chicago?

    I am convinced that Anthony Rizzo will win an MVP award in the next 5 years. The guy is Mark Grace with power. Once he learns how to hit lefties consistently, he will be a .310 hitter. I think he hits 40 home runs this year. He is an excellent first baseman (just 20 errors in 4 seasons). This guy should be the backbone of the cubs lineup for the next 6-8 years.

    The Sporting News picks the Cubs to win the World Series?

    How Many bongs were they smoking when they came up with that prediction?

    love the optimism but pump the brakes a little bit, they're still very young and very raw. I have high hopes for Babe Bryant, though

    Besides Lester, i didn't know they also picked up Kershaw and Felix Hernandez too. How else would the Sporting News pick the Cubs to win the WS?

    Exactly

    If the Cubs finish .500
    They should have a ticker tape parade downtown.

    A young team full of enthusiasm, adreneline and optimism? A kinda new playground?
    Someone who actually uses the words World Series and Cubs in the same sentence, trying their damnedest to live up to those expectations? That's one hell of a motivator.

    What's wrong with having the highest of hopes?

    GO CUBS!
    Nice shirt.

    Thank you. I love the eternal optimism of spring, a new baseball season. Even if their reputation proceedes them, the buzz surrounding the Cubs this year seems different, more confident, much more hopeful and enthusiastic.

    Why not focus on that mindset for a change? Attitude truly can make all the difference.

    2 Upper Deck seats, for a random game in June, on a Thursday.
    Total $135

    Just fucking ridiculous.

    This team hasn't won a damn thing in over 100 years.
    I remember when I would get so excited when tickets went on sale.

    Not anymore.
