Yes, the Chicago Cubs are the prohibitive favorite to win the N.L. Central this year. In fact, I'd put it at even odds that they have the best record in the National League.
But that's paper baseball. We have only some names on a computer screen to go by; and of course, we all realize that baseball is played on the diamond, not on a computer. In paper baseball, guys always perform up to their career averages - or sometimes, slightly better. They never get hurt. The team never changes.
We know, intellectually, the 2009 season will not play out as we project. Seasons never do. However, we assume that it will play out closer to the averages, to our expectations, than something else.
But what if that something else happens? What if - God, yes God,
forbid - the worst happens? Not just for a couple players, but for
every single Chicago Cub. What would that season look like, and would
you survive it? Read the worst case for all of the Cubs...
