OK, actually this will be the 99th anniversary for the Cubs, they last won in 1908. And, as much as it pains me because I am a Cubs fan, it will probably be at least one more season until we break the World Series curse. Most of the building blocks are there for us, but we are missing one or two things. The main things that we are missing are:1) An owner or group of owners to give the Cubs the money that they need to win a championship. Tribune is selling the Cubs at the end of this season, and while they have finally started to spend money, it has come to little to late. In my terms they are 300 million short and 18 years to late. In all actuality, while they have been putting asses in the seats, they haven't been putting a quality product on the field. Get a new owner who is looking for a championship, and we will be better off.
2) A quality outfielder. I'm sorry, I love Soriano, but he is a second baseman, not an outfielder. Get an outfielder who is decent or good, and switch to having Soriano to playing second. Or really mess with people, bring in A-Rod, have him play SS and move Soriano to second. Can we say the most dangerous infield in the history of the MLB? It will never happen (maybe?) but what should happen is bring in another outfielder and switch Soriano back to his comfort zone.
3) A quality closer. Ryan Dempster? Kerry Wood? Bob Howry? Neal Cotts? I rest my case.
4) A quality 3rd (or 4th) starter. I was kissing the screen of my TV when I found out that the Cubs didn't sign Gil Meche. My joy was short lived however, when i found out that the Cubs did sign Jason Marquis and Ted Lilly. While they have been doing well while in the Cubby Blue, a good 3rd starter is still required, or else the Cubs will live in the land of medioricity for another hundred years. Other then this, hopefully the Cubs will make it to the Playoffs this year, with a World Series trip not to far behind.
Next year they will be, hahaha. It'll ONLY be 99 this season.
Who was the first Canadian ever to pay major-league baseball?
Yeah, the Cubs pitchers only get injured, not arrested, like the Mets fans.And the Cubs could win it all. Why not? The Cards did it last year, and they stunk.
Foxsports.com/Detroit What number on Comcast?
it doesn't take the best record in baseball to win the world series. the cardinals had back to back 100 win seasons and they didn't win it but when they won 88 games they won it. the problem is the pitching staff in inconsistant. if rich hill can be to zambrano what liriano was to santana last year (until he got injured) then they have a great shot of making the playoffs with the high powered offense they have from the 1-7 holes (izturis is a piece of * in the 8th hole and theriot should be starting.) as a cubs fan i say yes they can win it. as a baseball realist i say they wont make the playoffs.p.s. 2007-1908=99 years.
Who has the most walks in baseball?
Yes of course the Cubs stink the twins or the Tigers will win the world seriesDo you think A-Rod might have a Chance at the HR Record For A Single Season?
nopeWould you want a dress code implemented by your favorite team?
No I don't think they have the talent to do it! Overspent for mediocre talent! This is not the 100th anniversary of the Chicago Cubs last World Series appearence as they were in the World Series in 1945! They lost to the Detroit TIGERS that year! This is the 99th anniversary of the last time they won a World SERIES!What is the record for the most piches in one at bat?
I think that regardless of how much money they spent upgrading their team,their success will depend on the health of Mark Prior and Kerry Wood.Just goes to show you how things can change for highly touted players after they are draftedMore Questions & Answers...
