These Cubs Can Play

Yes, it's early.  Just one month into the season the Chicago Cubs are showing the other contenders in the NL Central that this division is theirs to lose.  Ringing up 19 runs off of Suppan last evening sent the message that the Cubs are to be taken seriously.  Sure, talk of World Series is a bit premature, some even suggesting that such prophecy will backfire and ultiamtely curse the squad.  But tallying up potent offense like last night's performance off a pitcher that has enjoyed success at Wrigley over the past years signifies the Lovable Losers might be in the market for a new nickname.

Hopped Up on A Thin Line of Faith

It had to happen sometime, right?  Just when we were waiting for things to coalesce a bit, hoping every morning when we wake up that Soriano had found his swing, a bizarre, but not un-Cub-like fluke had to happen.  In the torrid and sometimes comical history of sneezes and subsequent back-spasms, over-zealous turtleneck wearing fans, and mythical farm animals, the "little hop" has quickly turned our blind faith to daily worry.  Yes, Cub fans, Soriano is injured again, due to a non-orthodox reflex while chasing down balls that apparently helps him with his concentration.

In the Spirit of Lou, I'm Taking Over.

It was painful to come in here to see that no one had taken the initiative to get this board going.  That being said, I've taken over moderater duties in hopes of getting this board rolling.

It's already been an exciting year, and we're only 10 games in.  It'd be shame for Cubs Fans/Fannation users not to have a lively board to cheer on and voice opinions about our Cubs.  (White Sux fans need not apply - we're not listening).
