its that time again....

*****Cubs Rant Alert, Cubs Rant Alert*****



ok, so its time again. I thought I could make it until season started but oh well....its Cubs Rant time again. thank ESPN.com for running a story about the Cubs chances this year on the front page...
so its yet another start to yet another season...and its been almost 100 years since the last Cubs World Series victory
will the Cubs finally beat the Billy Goat curse and win it all this season? the table is set with the Red Sox beating their Bambino Curse and the White Sox beating the Black Sox scandal curse.....the Cubs should be next then right?
some of the "experts" including Tony Gwynn have picked the Cubs to be this years White Sox....

well of course it won't actually happen....ITS THE GODDAMN CUBS!!! they're not going to win the World Series. they're not going to be the this year's anything cause then next year someone would actually have to say this team could be this year's Cubs...SEE!! look how strange that is.

some reasons why this ever-pessimistic but always loyal Cubs fan thinks that after this season it'll be 99 years and counting....

1. Mark Prior....if he's healthy he may be the best pitcher in the game, perfect form and mechanics and unhittable stuff and still only mid-20s....but apparently he'll never be healthy. the Cubs win nothing as long as every season starts with the Prior injury watch
2. Kerry Wood....same really as Prior but also cannot stay healthy and older than Prior...might make an awesome closer (think Gagne) if he was willing to switch...but he's not
3. DUSTY BAKER IS AN IDIOT!!! here's hoping he swallows one of those goddamn toothpicks and the Cubs hire an competent manager who knows what the words "pitch" and "count" mean
4. too many young and unproven postion players and pitcher....though if guys like Ronny Cedeno and Matt Murton can grow fast I could be wrong about all of this
5. they're still the Chicago Cubs!!!! (God hates them)

oh well....here's hoping I am completely wrong and the Billy Goat curse is buried along side the Bambino and the Black Sox...it is spring and I am a Cubs fan, hope springs eternal

atleast I am considered a great (hopeless) Cubs fan...:
