10 Reasons the Cubs will win the World Series. This year.

Previously i wrote a post on why the Cubs could never win the World Series ever again. ever. ever. and never again.
Now, i will write on why the Cubs will win the World Series. This year. In October. oh boy...

1. They are due for a World Series. Come on, its been over 100 years. Its about time.
2. They are severely underachieving so far this year. And they are only 5.5 games out.
Pitching has been mediocre, bullpen has been terrible and no one outside of Ryan Theriot and Alfonso Soriano have hit with any consistency. With signs of life out of Aramis Ramirez, the Cubs could very well put a streak together and take over 1st in the Central.
3. The Reds are in 1st place right now. That wont last.
4. The Cardinals have been over-achieving (both pitching and hitting) and they are only 6 games over .500
5. Their roster boasts Playoff experience with a valuable mix of veterans and young guys.
6. Pity from other teams. If the Cubs make the playoffs, every team will just quit.
7. No single team in the NL looks like a run-away World Series contender. (although you could argue for Philly or San Fran.)
8. Umpires will conspire together to rig every Cubs game. Not for money, but for the sole reason to disprove any notion of the super-natural (i.e. Curses).
9. New Owners are willing to spend the cash on a large market team to see it win.
10. Because if they do not win, there is no justice in the world.
