The Beginning of the End
Today is a pivotal day in history. Today marks the first day of the last season of the Chicago Cubs being under a World Series drought.
Last year the Cubbies got a taste of the playoffs. They have made roster moves to bring in some new blood, including Japanese phenom Kosuke Fukudome. The southpaws and youngbloods played in Winterleague. Spring Training was so great in testing the players that some future stars sadly didn't even make the cut because of the amount of talent the team has.
Sports Illustrated has picked the Cubs to represent the National League in the World Series against Detroit. They pick Detroit to win, but they didn't factor in the passion of the Cubs and their fans; the passion that has been waiting for 100 years to unleash everything we've got.
No more goats. No more black cats. No more Steve Bartman.
This is it. This is the year that the Cubs will go all the way.
Opening Day starts today at 1:20 CDT and can be watched on WGN TV or ESPN2 and also on the radio on WGN 720 AM.
I encourage everyone to get in on this. Wear your Cubs hats and jerseys. If you don't have one, get one. Listen to "Jump" and "Straight Lines" and Steve Goodman every chance you get. Watch this montage from last years memorable season. Represent yourself as one of the greatest fans of the greatest team in baseball.
