Cubs win! Could this be the year?

I am not a huge baseball fan. I'll go on record on the world wide web to tell you - I don't really understand the game. You either hit the ball or you don't. I've been told there is more to it than this, but I just don't "get it."

But, being from the Chicago-land area, born and raised up there, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Chicago Cubs. They go through so much, year after year.

As of today, they are ahead of Milwaukee by 4 games, ahead of St. Louis by 5 games.

Now that I live less than 3 hours from St. Louis I know I'm suppose to be a Cardinal fan, but I've got to say, GO CUBS!

Maybe this year will be THE YEAR! 

Chicago Cubs

They are certainly due!  I know that Cubs fans are among the most loyal around, so it would be nice to see them do well.

I am a cubbie fan out here in Las Vegas.  I just hope we don't have a melt down as the season progresses.  I have my fingers crossed that this is the year to end the drought!

Debbie, true and blue to the CUBS. I travel to Houston for that series a couple of weekends ago. Talked with Chad Gauddin (relief pitcher) were from the same home town Kenner LA. We are heading to Chicago for Labor Day weekend and can't wait.

Debbie, I can understand your enthusiasm for a 'local' team that you are following but I am not a cubbies fan. Sorry... But we can still be blogging buddies, right? BTW, congrats on your 'star' yesterday...

I probably shouldn't do it, I shouldn't celebrate just yet, but the Cubbies are 5 1/2 games ahead of St. Louis! 8/6/08
