I don't believe that my Cubbies are cursed, but it's getting really saddening, year after year....we haven't won a WS since what?--1908?
We've **got** to be the most optimistic souls on the face of the planet, hoping each season that **this** will be the year....
I'm getting too depressed to follow the papers any more! Any sports maniacs out there want to figure reasonable odds that we'll win the National League and/or World Series any time within the next ten years or so?
Or should I just toss my money at the Las Vegas bookies and say "just keep it; the Cubs are a lost cause for the next decade"?
(Non-Cubs-people: please don't add insults to injury---we feel bad enough already. Thank you for your courtesy.)

I think that is the definition of a miracle...The Cubs winning the pennant. The start of the miracle could be signing Joe Girardi as manager who did well for the Marlins. Then picking up a good bat and having Wood and Prior actually be healthy. Those would be the components of a miracle.

as a cards fan i was this close to saying something really nasty
but since you asked so nicely, i'll restrain myself
but i still think the cubs are a lost cause
but you keep hoping, and we'll keep winning

When the Cubs win the world series, it will be the same year the Lions win the Superbowl.. AND two of the signs of the Apocolypse..

Look at what happened to the Red Sox. We were one strike away from winning the '86 World Series. But 2004 was our year!
Go Sox!

I think we have hope... I think whoever they bring in could be our answer... We need someone who will stir everything up.
Although I have talked with some friends and I don't know what we would do if we didn't have to use the saying "there is always next year"
Our time will come soon enough!

I think the Cubs may win one before the Cards win another one.

Chances are, eventually they will. They have money and the fanbase to keep going for a long time. Plus, it's not possible for them to keep losing forever. The chances are in their favor.
