Will the Cubbies, those lovable losers, ever win the big one?

Not this year\n\nLee and Ramirez will have good years, but who else in the lineup is productive?\n\nWood and Prior are hurt, Zambrano is the only legit pitcher on the staff, they have no closer, and Maddux is starting to lose it\n\nThey won't beat the Cardinals, but they may challenge for hte Wild Card if Wood and Prior come back healthy\n\nHowever: Compared to other lineups in the AL and the NL, the Cubs don't scare me

they could possibly win one this year or next year. They have a good basketball team with labron james and are expected to make it to the mlb players, so they have a good chance this year

I think the cubbies will be down to their last out, leading by one run in the bottom of the ninth.  Hell will freeze over, the end of the earth will occur and they will go down as the team that could never put it together.

They have a shot at the Wild Card, but it will not come so easily with the ChiSox and the Tribe in their division.\n\nI don't really think they'll make it, but I will not be surprised if they do because they have the pitching staff; it's just the offense they have that concerns me about them.

Nope. They don't have the pitching to get it done. They're score a boat load or runs, sure. And they're probably even going to make it into the post season. But once they get into the post season and are in a short series against guys like Schilling/Beckett or Harden/Zito then they're all done.

Anything is possible. They have a shot. Another team to look out for is the White Sox, last years World Series champions (It's like hell as a Cubs fan plus White Sox fans are super annoying without winning the World Series. I have to route for my home town, none the less). They average as a team batting .300 . That has to account for something. The Tigers are up now, but I predict the Sox getting their record back up. The funny thing is that the White Sox always lose to the worse teams (Cubs, D-Rays, Blue Jays).

No one with a brain.  Take your good start and enjoy it.  They will be lucky to finish 3rd in the central.\n\nThe Cards and Astros will both beat them easily.  Chicago probably will too...atleast you have Pittsburgh to beat up on.

Hey Cubs Fan, Are the Cubs in heat? Do the Cubs need to get out of the kitchen?\n\nSeriously, if you're talking about the Bulls, Sequille will make them kneel. ((Neal)

Yes, The Cubs will win the world series THIS YEAR!\n\nThat curse has been reversed. However they had to wait until the red sox and white sox both won. Those 2 teams had the longest winless streak.\n\nNow it's The Cubbies turn.\n\nP.S.:\n\n\nit would help if steve bartman wasn't in the stands. lol.\n(no offense to Steve Bartman. I feel his pain. I know he is a Cubs fan, Just that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.)\n\n*excuse me Mr. Knowledgeable, but I think you mean the white sox. How can The Cubs beat tthemselves?*

Not a chance. In the American League Liriano or Papelbon have it locked up.

Nope...they wont win their division for the first time in about 13 years...wont make it as a wild card...nope, not this year...

If they're given enough time, eventually. It probably won't happen anytime in the extremely new future, but trades and talent can turn any franchise around. It's just that it's taking the Cubs longer than anyone to turn it around. Eventually, rest assured.

Da Cubs because the Brewers will be in last place.

Yes. Like the BoSox and White Sox. The Cubs are due! I say defy all logic. The Cubs will win in 2006.

I doubt it. They will likely win the AL East, however it is very completelyat they may run into a much more difficult team in the AL playoffs. I'm guessing the Indians will win the AL this year.\n\nThey just have better team chemistry, something Steinbrenner has completeley forgotten. The Yanks were champions in the late 90s because they had Paul O'Neill, Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, David Cone, Scott Brosius, etc.\n\nNow, their pitching is still pretty good, but the Big Unit isn't getting any younger. As for their hitting, all their hitters are swinging for the fences(Giambi, Sheffield, A-Rod, Matsui, Posada), but they keep striking out. Damon will be a much better OF option now that Bernie is past his prime, but don't expect the Yankees to advance any further than the ALCS with the poor hitting chemistry they have.

nope.  They aren't even one of the two best teams in their division (much less baseball), so eventually they will fade.  Their pitching is sucpect big-time.
