Cubs
How can one root for a major league baseball team that hasn’t made it to the World Series since 1908? I can tell you that it is very hard being a dedicated Chicago Cubs fan. The team’s motto, made famous by the late, great Harry Carey, is “wait until next year”. Right now, it’s a whole new ball game. We can throw out the last ninety-five years that the Cubs haven’t made it to the World Series, because this is their year. The Cubs will be going to the World Series! The Cubs have had one of their best years ever their remaining schedule is an encouraging sign that the Cubs could make it to the big game. In their last eight games of this season, the Cubs are up against four games with the Cincinnati Reds and four games with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

They have great players at every single position on the field, and even their backups are impressive. The Cubs had to overcome some obstacles in the beginning of the season, but worked hard to get to the position they are in today. Right at the start of the season, the team lost their starting third baseman and second baseman for almost two months. Roster moves were very important and have showed how diverse the Cubs player can be. The Cubs picked up three players from the Pittsburgh Pirates early on, including third baseman Aramis Ramirez, only twenty-five years old, first baseman, Randell Simon, twenty-seven years old, and four-time All Star centerfielder, Kenny Lofton.
