Yes, but we will see.

As for the Cubbies ballpark, its not as if shutting the park down is going to cause them to miss out on winning the World Series. [img]graemlins/Laughing.gif[/img]

Maybe they would be doing their fans and the city a favor if they shut the doors.

They have relief problems and need to make a pickup there, but they are hardly a bad team.

Its the CUBS. Wild card or not, they will always find a way to lose.

The Redsox are starting to come on so at least maybe one of the teams will break that horrible streak. [/quote]The only things more certain than death and taxes are that the Cubs and Red Sox will always choke in October (provided they actually can get there. [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Part of the Cubs charm in Chicago is losing. They are known as the lovable losers.
The Red Sox fans go to see them win and then how can they come up with ways to lose to the Yankees, but win first. The Cub fans go to see them lose .
With Dusty Baker lately it is different , how much I don't know. They look good this year though.
