The Cubs won their opener and are undefeated! Only 161 more games to go. I think this is the year they go undefeated! Sadly, they will then get swept in the first round of the playoffs! No! That is impossible! This is the year we win it all! However, I say that every year.
Seriously, I do like our chances. We have very good starting pitching in Zambrano, Harden, Dempster, Lilly, and maybe Sean Marshall. The lineup is solid with Soriano, Lee, Rami as the main producers. Adding Milton Bradley should only shore up the lineup. I love Marmol as the set up man and hopefully Gregg can be strong as the closer.
LOVE CUBS BBALL!

It is a long season and injuries could do some damage, but the Cubs seem to be stacked and they seem to have a commitment to doing what they have to to win.
This is true. The biggest concerns have to be if Harden can pitch an entire season. Also, Z is a workhorse but every year he seems to start to get fatigued some where later in the season so we will need to look out for that. Hopefully Lee can regain some of his power stroke and get 30-35 jacks. Also, hopefully Fukudome can play like the Fukudome of the first half of last year.
The good thing about the team is that they very much seem like a team as opposed to a collection of all stars. When the Yankees won their world championships, they did it with guys like Brosius and O'Neill and Tino. Those guys were decent players but not great but they collectively played as a team. I think we have that this year.
Agree with what you wrote, and I am happy to say that it looks like the Yankees stink.
