Actually the Cubs have a good chance of winning the NL Central this year (not a big deal i know). They signed the Japanese Outfielder Fukudome and Lieber (who might be able to do something). Lee, A-Ram, Soriano are all healthy and those three can put a hurt. I have no idea why im talking about the Cubs so greatly lol.

I'd love to see the Cubs win one honestly, they came close then and there. I still blame Steve Bartman for the inconvenience of the 03' NLCS...things would have been different.

but eh, wat r u gonna do? Would have been great seeing the Yankees and the Cubs, or Cubs and Sox in the WS. Unfortanetely, didnt happen, but at some point in time they will win one, hopefully soon.

i mean it sux for the cubs not winning and all but how can u put the blame on my mans steve he did what any person who has ever been to a baseball game would have done and that is catch the baseball. maybe the cubs should have signed him since he obviosly can catch better than alou. but every player has to deal with fan interference alou just couldent make the play it is nobodys fault except his.
