No I think the Cubs will do better this coming year, not TOO much better though.  I really doubt the Cardinals can repeat.

The Tigers are for real.\n\nIf they play .500 ball the rest of the season they will win 91 games.\n\nNot good enough to win the Central Division, but maybe the wild card.\n\nThe Tigers are for real; made no mistake.\n\nThey are not going to go away.\n\nBut, as I said, not good enough to dethrone The World Champion Chicago White Sox.

I think that the Cards will win tonight ending their 8 game losing streak and it won't happen again for another 300 years or something. I don't know about what's going on with the pitchers but lets hope they snap back into it like they were last year and year before. The Cards Rule  and everyone else SUX. I just hope Carpenter can get his game back on for tonight.\nGo CARDS Hit a HR Pujols!!!!!

Unfortunatly the Chicago Cubs will not come out of their slump once again this year. As always we will continue to be Cubs fans reguardless of weather or not they are winning or losing because thats the kind of fans that we are.

I hope it is.  It's been a long drought since 1984.  \n\nI guess I can't complain too much though.  Unlike many Cubs fans and - until recently Red Sox and White Sox fans - I CAN remember my favorite team winning the World Series.\n\nI think the Tigs will stay in contention.  They seem to be having some troubles with the Yankees, but they can't possibly continue the winning streak they were on for the whole year.  If they stay healthy and continue to play good baseball, I can see an interesting September - and, hopefully, October too.

Chi Cubs 6, Cincinnati 5\n\n Greg Maddux threw fewer pitches than usual, and got another milestone win. Ryan Dempster threw a lot more than usual, and got a heart-pounding save.\n\nIt takes a lot of the unusual to beat the Cincinnati Reds these days.\n\nMaddux beat baseball's hottest team for the third time this season, and Dempster survived a scare while closing out the Chicago Cubs' 6-5 victory Friday night, ending the Reds' eight-game winning streak.\n\n"Ain't never easy," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. "Dang, it was a tough one. We needed this one badly. We were due to win one of these."\n\nThe Cubs emerged from a three-game losing streak with Henry Blanco's three RBIs and a short but solid performance by Maddux (7-5), who has beaten the Reds three times this season. He gave up four hits, including solo homers by Adam Dunn and Scott Hatteberg, in 5 1-3 innings.\n\nADVERTISEMENT\nMaddux's 325th career win broke a tie with Nolan Ryan and Don Sutton for 13th on the career list. Eddie Plank is next on the list, one victory ahead.\n\nMaddux took a grounder off his lower right leg in the third, and Baker didn't hesitate to go to his bullpen early when the Reds threatened in the sixth. He lifted Maddux after only 66 pitches.\n\n"I didn't like the way he was throwing in that one inning," Baker said. "He was getting everything up."\n\nMaddux didn't second-guess the decision.\n\n"That's just trying to win," Maddux said. "Our bullpen's done a great job all year. I didn't see a problem with it."\n\nThe problems came when Dempster got into the game in the ninth with a 6-4 lead. Dempster, who had blown three of his last five save chances, loaded the bases with no outs, then walked Ryan Freel to force in a run.\n\n"Early on, I wasn't fully committed. I don't know why," Dempster said. "I just wasn't there. It took me walking in a run to finally calm down and get it done. It was definitely exciting. My heart's still going."\n\nCincinnati Reds right fielder Austin Kearns misses a double hit by Chicago Cubs' Aramis Ramirez in the seventh inning of a baseball game Friday, June 9, 2006, in Cincinnati. Kearns left the game with a hamstring injury on the play. Chicago won 6-5.\nAP - Jun 9, 10:37 pm EDT\nMore Photos\nDempster struck out Felipe Lopez, got Brandon Phillips to line out, then retired Ken Griffey Jr. on a routine grounder to end it for his 10th save in 13 chances. He threw 35 pitches in that one dramatic one inning.\n\nThe Reds were stunned after their first loss in June.\n\n"We knew we were going to win, but things happen," Phillips said. "When Freel got on base, I said, 'It's over."'\n\nThe Reds got back into the NL Central race with their longest winning streak since 1999. On Friday, they drew their first capacity crowd since an opening-day loss to the Cubs.\n\nThe 41,064 fans cheered loudly for Griffey, back in the lineup after missing two games with a sore thigh. The All-Century outfielder was a .417 career hitter off the four-time Cy Young winner, but grounded out and flied out in their two head-to-head match ups.\n\nBlanco had a two-run double and a sacrifice fly off Elizardo Ramirez (2-5), driving in one run more than the Cubs had managed in their last three games combined. Blanco, one of the NL's top defensive catchers, also threw out Lopez as he tried to steal second base in the sixth inning, undercutting a rally.\n\nMaddux is having a season of extremes. He opened 5-0 for the first time in his career, winning all of his April starts and turning 40 years old along the way.\n\nOnce the calendar turned, so did his fortunes. Maddux went into a 1-5 slump -- the only victory was over Cincinnati -- with a 7.75 ERA in his next seven starts. He was back in form on Friday, which started with more bad news for the Cubs.\n\nRight-hander Kerry Wood went ba

THE CARDINALS ARE THE BEST NL TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL.  As for this year, they will win 100 games and take the division.  Cinncinatti will cool off, and the cubs will choke like they always do.  The Cards will win the N.L. central, but who knows what will happen in the playoffs with Tony LaRussa as the coach.  MVP=Pujols CY Young=Carpenter  Pitching Sliver Slugger, Marquis, Gold Gloves C Molina, 3b Rolen, CF Edmonds, SS Eckstein.

The Cardinals actually try to continually put a winning team on the field. The Cubs don't try that because they know they can make money with their beer garden ballpark.

well i cant help you there becuz the fact of the matter is, there is NO team more unlucky than the cubs.\n\n     But this year, evn luck has to take a back seat to the lack of talent this team has, to put in another way, this teams suckiness has finally caught up to its unluckiness and combined to form some type of UBER-DISASTROUS-SUCKY-UNLUCKY team.\n\nso sorry pal. \n\nbut be sure to give me holler when you want the reasons they suck. ive got billions.

Even getting to the World Series is tough. Winning is tougher, and a sweep is very difficult. The Cubs will have a hard time making the playoffs unless their pitching gets healthy in a hurry. Good pitching is the best thing you can have in the playoffs, so it's possible they could win it all and sweep the Series. I just don't think their picthing can stay healthy that long.

Cubs?  Are you drinking?  Prior and Wood can't stay healthy and Maddux is older than God and not pitching well.  Zambrano is very good.\n\nEither White Sox or Cardinals.

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.
