I believe that every team starts out with a fair chance of winning the world series, but you can't base the 162 game season on the first 20 games, so with that being siad, i think that there is a average to good possilbility that they may win. \n\n\nGO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually they have a pretty good team this year with sheets, turnbow, and c lee.  I can see them making a run at it this year but the cards are way to strong.  I bet in the next 2 to three years the be in it.

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.

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'm not a Cubs fan but just once I'd like to see them at the very least win a NL pennant.  You Cubs fans have suffered like no other franchise.  If the day ever comes that they look like they have a real shot at winning a pennant I for one will be rooting for them.  As a matter of fact the only time I wouldn't be rooting for them is if by chance they played the Yankees in the world series.  Other than that I'm okay with the Cubs winning.

They will go as far as their pitching will take them. If everyone stays healthy, I would have to say they are a favorite, yet again. There's little doubt that they will make the playoffs, so the main question is, will the team be healthy when the postseason rolls around? I think they have a good shot.

If they're given enough time, eventually they will, under the law of averages. 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, it'll all even out.

well it sure isn't going to be the Cubs, the Red Sox, the Yankees or the Mets.\nIm going with the world champion White Sox for a back to back championship.

I think that the Cubs still have a chance to come back, become either the NL Central Division Champions or the NL Wild Card, win the NL Championship and then the World Series in 2006.

I am a Yankee fan through and through, but I do think the Cubs are moving in the right direction. Hopefully Sweet Lou can come on board and make some changes. Soriano is a great player. Personally, think the Yankees should have never traded him. So, I think the Cubs will have a better season. I do think it will take them time to build but the are on their way.

They have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs as a WC team. The WS is going to be a tough place for them to get to, but it is possible. Remember the bad starts that they've had the last two years? They came back from those to reach the NLCS in '04 and then the WS in '05.\n\nThey have Clemens now, and will soon get Brandon Backe back into the rotation. Oswalt is pitching good, but getting little run support. Wandy Rodriguez has been amazing, and if he stays healthy this could be his break-out year. If Pettitte and the bullpen can find the groove they were in last year, look for the Astros in October.\n\nLike last year, this team is all about the pitching. The batting, although not as good as in '04, is doing much better than in '05. If Chris Burke stays hot, he might be the spark the lineup needs to catch fire. With Berkman and Ensberg healthy now, we might see more of that 19-9 type playing that they showed at the beginning of the season.

Buy it form Kenny Williams (White SOX GM)\n\nBut seriously, the Chi-Trib (owners of the cubs) only care about the money.  So as long as those cheap polish pricks own the cubs, they will never win the world series.\n\nBut a good start would be to get rid of Dusty Baker, and let the billy goat into a game.

As a die hard WHITE SOX fan I am hoping that they DO!  After our tremendous year last year and KNOWING what it is like to live in a town that has two teams but the other ALWAYS get the atttention (but for you at least the Yankees win  it still baffels me cuz the Cubs suck) I am rooting for them all the way!!   If the White Sox don't make it (? and I usually root for AL) and the METS do, I want you to know that there will be at least one person in Chicago that will be supporting them.  Screw the Yankees and Red Sox!  If you are a Mets fan -  God you have to be SICK AND TIRED of them!!!!!!!!!!!  Good luck!
