cubs

As a die hard Red Sox fan, I know what Cubs fans were going through! After living most of my adult life waiting for the Red Sox to break my heart every October, things changed in 2004. That was the year that the Curse of the Bambino was beaten as the Sox swept the St Louis Cardinals in the World Series to win their first championship in 86 years...

The Chicago Cubs seem to be going all out this year with their eye on the big prize, the World Series. They signed pitcher Jon Lester for $155 million and have a lot of excellent young players. And 2015 may be their year.

The Chicago Cubs have only won two World Series in 1907 and 1908, and they did play in one in 1906, the year they had 116 wins and a percentage rating that still stands today at .763. The Cubs now have the distinction of being one of only three Major League Baseball teams to lose 10,000 games.

Could you imagine the Chicago Cubs not playing at Wrigley Field? Almost sacrilegious to say it, but it is possible if owner Tom Rickets doesn’t get his way in a major renovation deal. If the proposed $500 million deal doesn’t include a huge outfield video display, the team could be playing somewhere else for the first time in almost 100 years.
