That’s right. The Cubs are only the second team in baseball history to reach 10,000 wins. Who is the other team? The Yankees with their 26 world championships? No sir. The Giants are the only team ahead of the Cubs. At least, that is, for a few years. Go Cubs. This just might be THE YEAR.
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.
The Rockies beat the Padres 2-1 last night in 22 1/2 innings. The game lasted 6 hours 17 minutes! That is what I call getting you money’s worth. One could classify this as a liberal game judging by time or a conservative contest if judging by runs…which is it? Definitely not moderate!
