How many of you out there have herd the phrase, "Just wait till next year." For those of you who have, it probably came from a Chicago Cubs fan didn't it? That's the phrase I've been hearing from Cubs fans all my life and guess what, people have been waiting until next year for one hundred years now and the Cubs still haven't came through with a world series championship. As a die hard St. Louis Cardinals fan, I've been taking loads of crap from Cubs fans all my life. I usually take most of this crap during the first few months of the season and then after the all star break the Cubs fans usually start to quite down. This is because the Cubs usually start the season off doing really well (usually up towards first place). Then around or after the all star break they start to choke and slide down into about third or fourth place. But could this year be different? The Cubs are obviously still going strong into October. Some of the more superstitious Cubs fans out there are sure this is their year mainly because this year is the 100 year anniversary of the Cubs last World Series victory. But fans aren't the only ones who are certain there is a championship on the way. At the beginning of the season Cub's pitcher, Ryan Dempster, assured fans that not only would the Cubs make it to the World Series, they would win it. This is a very bold statement for any player to make, but so far Dempster doesn't look like a fool yet. Whether the Cubs win the world series or not, I just can't wait for this season to be over so all the Cubs fans out there will just shut the heck up.
