    Cubs

    Cubs are looking pretty solid.  We got a couple of kinks to work out in an otherwise solid pitching staff but the offense has been incredible.  The Cubs are usually known for a weak offense and a strong pitching staff so Its good to finally see us put up some crooked numbers on the board with some consistency for once.  If Wood can be a strong closer and we can fill a gap in the starting rotation then I like our chances to win the Series just as much as anyones really.  Carlos Marmol is as good a relief pitcher thats in the entire league right now.

    Everyone knows that its been 100 years since we won a World Series.  An interesting fact however...no one would guess it but the Cubs actually have a winning record in the franchises history.  Everyone also knows that the Cubs wear a "C" on their helmets....C stands for 100 in Roman numerals lol.

    Re: Cubs

    Man, I sure hope you're right about that Nik - about the "C" thing!  Not sure if there's many Cubs fans on here (or from Illinois), but I'm one.  Actually, not liking Wood as a closer.  But, GO CUBBIES!  And, please keep all goats and Steve Bartman away!!!

    Re: Cubs

    Cubs are looking pretty good so far. We still have a long way to go and we have to keep this offense magic going. Poor Rich Hill, but it had to be done. I'm glad Leiber is back. Maybe this is a sign that it's Cubs year. 100 is our magic number.
