However, the Cubs will never win the series until they end day baseball like the other 99.999 percent of the league. That's just my opinion.

Cubs New Owner Predicts World Series Title........(video)
The Wrigley Family promised the same thing a century ago practically, so these kind of promises aren't anything we've never heard before in this city, but you never know, they could keep their word and follow through..

Denise Richards sings "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" -CUBS
From over the weekend that I just caught tonight on O'Reilly.
I guess she, Denise Richards, who I don't even really know much about until now and her employee "E" says this is her excuse for the brutal rendition, but at least it wasn't the national anthem and to be honest there have been far worse renditions I can avow as a 25 year Chicagoan.
In fact Harry Carey himself wasn't exactly Wayne Messmer when the seventh inning stretch came around usually after a 12 pack or so for the so called "lovable and cuddly Cubbie" announcer.

Cubs Go Down
My quote from yesterday's post:
"I'm betting the Cubs go down in a sweep today, but hoping I'm wrong."
My quote and post from the day the won the division:
"If I don't sound too thrilled that would be because over my 42 years, 12 as a player 3rd grade through high school and nearly lifelong fan, the Cubs have bitten the city and it's fans way too many times. And for me, the last year I really followed the Cubs over the entire summer was a couple back when they came 5 outs from the World Series and blew it."
My Quote for today: See ya next year Cubs....not me .

Cubs Need Win Today Or Tickets Are Worthless
Down 2 games to none Tickets for this weekend's game are still in high demand, and if they win today even more so, as many won't purchase Sunday's tix until today's contest is played leaving lots of ticket scalpers and just sellers left holding the bag or little chunks of gold if they win.
I'm betting the Cubs go down in a sweep today, but hoping I'm wrong.
Cubs Special Internet Section Chicago Trib,
Lots of good video and trivia stuff.

Tickets? $2,000 is right in the ballpark
chicagotribune.com: "Although $30 might have been enough to get into the Cubs-Diamondbacks series in Arizona this week, prices for first-round playoff games here in the land of championship-starved fans continued to climb Thursday. Standing-room tickets for weekend games against the Diamondbacks were up to about $200 apiece, and top seats crested beyond $2,000. Though playoff baseball might get a tepid reaction in the desert, the competition for Cubs tickets has been more bruising than usual this week in Chicago, as much a sport as baseball itself." continued
Lots of good video and trivia stuff.
Then there's this....these pictures caught my attention when looking through Cubs fan's pictures section in the Trib today. These are one man's pictures from Thailand after the Cubs victory the other day and then his front and backyard. Pretty Nutty, you probably couldn't do this in your backyard here in Chicago without someone bitching and moaning..

Very Good Cubs Video History
The Chicago Tribune today has a little video compilation of some pivotal moments in the Cubs & Wrigley Field history, about a dozen different video's that take about a half hour to watch back to back that have the high moments of the Cubs existence (hence the only 30 minutes of usable video available that's only good history, lol)
They're worth a look individually or back to back if your a baseball and especially Cub fan. I just got through watching them myself and there's some good stuff there.

Cubs Actually Win Their Division
If I don't sound too thrilled that would be because over my 42 years, 12 as a player 3rd grade through high school and nearly lifelong fan, the Cubs have bitten the city and it's fans way too many times. And for me, the last year I really followed the Cubs over the entire summer was a couple back when they came 5 outs from the World Series and blew it.
That was 2003, the year of Bartman Ball fiasco, which all revolves around the perpetual BillyGoat curse and all that other crap. They just blew it after that play, simple as that, but Steve Bartman certainly didn't help them and us any that night..
After that colossal collapse I had finally had enough and have refused to jump back on the bandwagon since and won't do it this year even now. I certainly hope the Cubs continue on to the World Series, the last one was 1945, last win 1908,as we know them stats along with some other sad ones pretty good here in this city I'm afraid.
The White Sox surprisingly pulled a huge one finally for the city a few years back in 2005, but to describe these following years as a monumental failure would be kind, like 24 games back today.
Nothing however would compare with a Cubs World Series Victory in this city, possibly even the Bears 85 Super Bowl win, (possibly, although the Bears whole season that year was unmatchable in exitement), and that's why it won't happen this time, as if it does then the world must end, and it doesn't seem like this is the year for that yet. They've basically played decently for most of the year from what I've seen and seem to be the lesser of the evils in this division basically. Hardly any standouts that most outside of Chicago would know.
We're close but not there yet.
That will occur next year if Hillary is elected president, that my friends will be the Cubs year and the end to all ends for civilization, not this October.
So, I'll be watching them as a Chicagoan in the coming weeks but from a safe distance, physically & emotionally.

Finally, the Red-letter day
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Cubs: "CINCINNATI — After four months of clawing out, crawling back and maybe even fighting off a little history near the end, the Cubs finally popped their cork Friday night in Cincinnati. And as if to underscore the nature of the National League Central race this season, the Cubs had to wait an hour after their 6-0 victory against the Reds at Great American Ball Park to clinch when the Milwaukee Brewers lost to the San Diego Padres." continued
• Full Court Press: Cubs clinch!
• Leadoff dinger a real blast
• Blanco likely odd man out in playoffs
• Wild in Wrigleyville: Cubs' fans party
