Let's Lose Two!

Gotta love those Cubbies. Year in and year out, with amazing consistency, they stink up the league. The only suspense the Cubbies hold out for us is what month will they tank?

Some years, the season's over before the end of April. Other years, they wait until August or September before folding the tent. With a mediocre record so far of 40-46, I think it's a pretty safe bet Cub fans won't have to worry about cashing in the kid's college fund for World Series tickets this year!

Following the immortal advice of Ernie Banks, they went out yesterday and lost two games -- both sides of a double header. Then to top it off, they finally recognized, to the utter lack of surprise to the rest of the league, that their center fielder, Corey Patterson, is an 'A' ball player masquerading as a major leaguer. To their credit, once the Cubbies were tipped off to the fraud, they shipped Corey off to Iowa.

Oh well, wait'll next year -- which will only be 98 years since the last World Series!
