I know it has been a very long time since I have posted to my Today's Cubs Thought Blog. Do you blame me? Look at this team! As of June 23, 2006 they have a record of 28 wins and 43 losses. The team can't find a way to score runs. They actually find ways to lose. I just heard a rumor Kerry Wood may not be able to come back this season. What year has he not been on the disabled list? Is it

The Chicago Cubs have the worst of "Luck". I really don't believe in luck. If I did believe in Good or Bad luck, the Cubs have Bad Luck.

He could have broken the record this past year, but I think it is planed for him to break it next year, first Ruth, then maybe

In the fifth the Whitesox score 5 runs to go up 5-4. Guess who started the hitting for the Whitesox? Crede, what a spark plug for the Whitesox in this World Series. I am so tired.

What has happened to the West? The San Diego Padres are a .500 team and they are going to be in the playoffs. I was concerned about a wildcard team making the playoffs with a .500 record. I guess I don't have to worry about that. Again, what has happened to the West? What happened to the Dodgers and Giants? The Dodgers were the Braves of the West and the Giants pop in there once in a while.
