As the month of March begins today, I have a few things running through my mind that I need to get off my chest as a Cubs fan.
- Sam Zell doesn't need another $400 million. The man has enough money already, just sell the team and you will get the 400 mil you want from that. Wrigley Field should always be Wrigley Field and should never change. It would be like changing Fenway Park to Campbell's Chunky Chowder Stadium. Not happening, is it.
- Cubs are on TV for the next two days on CSN. It will be nice to see Fukudome live in action for the next couple afternoons and with the weather this winter in Chicagoland, it is always pleasant to see green grass and warmer weather. Spring will be here before we all know it.
- Now some predictions early in Spring Training, these are subject to change by March 31 but as of now. Division Winners: Mets, Cubs, Rockies. Wild Card: Brewers (something about this team is good and will force the Cubs into winning 90+ games this year). Playoffs: Cubs beat Mets in 5, Rockies beat Brewers in 5. NLCS: Cubs over Rockies in 6. I'm a big time Cub fan so I'm probably a homer on that one but that's take on the NL.
- In the AL, Division Winners: Red Sox, Tigers, Mariners. Wild Card: Indians. Playoffs: Indians beat Red Sox in 5, Tigers beat Mariners in 4. ALCS: Tigers beat Indians in 7. That brings us to a World Series of Cubs-Tigers. The only 2 times the Cubs have won the World Series were against the Tigers, the last time the Cubs were in the Fall Classic was against...you guessed it the Tigers. It is only fitting to have them play again. Somehow, the Cubs will have home-field because of the All-Star Game and will prevail in 7 games over Detroit.
Time will tell if I'm on the mark or out of my mind.
