With the start of Spring training this last week,
I feel like this blog is a must.
Hear me now: the Chicago Cubs will win the World Series in 2011.
And here are 10 reasons why:
1. They haven't won the World Series since 1908. They deserve at least a pity trophy.
2. Mike Quade represents the American Dream and winning the world series would jump start the American economy.
3. Kerry Wood is back. That's got to be worth 15 wins.
4. The Cardinals lost their best pitcher (arguably) to a season ending injury. As much as i hate good players getting injured, this increases the Cubs chances at actually winning the anemic NL Central.
5. The All Star game is in Arizona this year. Why is this relevant? Because the majority of the Cubs players have Hispanic ancestry. And because of Arizona's crazy immigration laws, the Cubs will play extra hard to make the all star team only to spite the entire state of Arizona.
6. Albert Pujols will be a free agent. The Cubs really want him. And, where would he rather go than a World Series winning team?
7. If they don't win the World Series, the Matt Garza trade will look really bad, blemishing Jim Hendry's immaculate trading record.
8. The Pirates and Astros may be the 2 worst teams in all of baseball and the Brewers don't have the pitching to be consistent.
9. Carlos Zambrano will spend more time playing baseball than in anger management.
10. It may be their last chance... the world will end in 2012.
