    Re: We are not mocking the Cubs enough

    Last time the Cubs won the W-S the US had 46 states, Oklahoma had been a state for less than 1 full calendar year.

    The last time the Cubs wont the W-S, the following had yet to be invented.
    The crossword puzzle
    Sun Tan Lotion
    "Talkies"
    Plastic
    Bras
    Zippers
    Oreos
    Bubble Gum
    And of course the Internet (Al Gore Senior was not yet 1 the last time the Cubs won the World series.)
    Pluto was discovered, declared a planet, then not declared a planet.

    And rumor has it, that since the cubs last won the world series, Dirt was born, but I'm still awaiting confirmation of that.


    Since the Cubs last the WS, the following has occured:
    Haley's coment has come and gone twice.
    The Boy Scouts were created.
    The first full service grocery store was opened
    The first winter olympics were held.

    Is 5 full pages enough mocking yet? LOL

    I need to share this thread with a buddy of mine who is a HUGE Cub fan.

    The Cubs come to GABP this Memorial Day, and we're planning on getting tickets.

    May 26 1908 – At Masjid-al-Salaman in southwest Persia, the first major commercial oil discovery in the Middle East is made.

    no real relevance, just another historical tidbit to point out.

    Last year the Cubs won four games against the Reds. Johnny Cueto had four wins against the Cubs by himself.

    There is always this great song.

    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    Theo may be able to turn things around but just because he did it in BOS doesn't mean he will do it in CHI. Theo's cupboard in BOS was pretty well stocked when he took over. It was pretty bare when he took over in CHI.

    Like I said, I think he is overrated (The Golden Boy who finally brought a title to Boston....please )

    But he's not inept either. That plus the payroll advantage that the Cubs have should result in a competitive ball club. I've found him to be fairly disciplined so far...I'm sure he could have spent a lot of money this past year, but frankly there wasn't much worthwhile to do so on. That in and of itself is a step in the right direction.
