For the Record
After today’s 8-1 win over the New York Mets the Chicago Cubs have moved to a 14-6 record to start the season and they look good. Real good. I’ve was born and raised a Chicago Cubs fan and I will die a Chicago Cubs fan. But for those that know me, I have been far more negative about the Cubs these past few years than positive. I blame it on not winning a damn thing in a 100 years and more specifically (among many other specifics) the collapse of 2003. However, after the start they have had this year I am starting to feel all but forgotten pangs of hope for the team this year. Right now they look like the team to beat in the National League. Although I fully expect them, after writing this, to collapse and cause me to yell at the tv about how poor their starting rotation is, I wanted to take a minute and share with the CD crowd the return (however small) of my hope in the Chicago Cubs.

FYI…
Today’s win was the 9,999th of the franchise’s history.
How many do the Dodgers have, Bill?

Congrats. You beat the Mets. When you have 26 World Championships give me a holler.

6 World Series victories….and the little bears?
Besides, I am well aware the Dodgers can’t win the whole thing this year. Be realistic in your aspirations for the North-Siders.

Both of you suck.
You are not going to bring me down when I know this is THE YEAR.
