Hope springs eternal ... again ...



And so it begins anew today ...

In case you needed any reminding that this year marks 100 years since the Chicago Cubs last tasted the elixir that is a World Series championship, major outlets such as ESPN, National Public Radio and USA Today have taken great pains to remind you of that stark fact. Of course, the very fact that the world is on the verge of seeing the Cubs hit the triple-digit mark of futility is just one of the myriad of reasons why This Year Is Next Year™ - why the North Siders will finally jump the broom and bring sexy back to Wrigley Field. (Another reason: I ate a goat during the off-season - more on that later, if I get around to it.) Because this will be such a special season, it's my plan to keep daily tabs on the schedule on this high-quality blog, even on the days when I have nothing else to say. Keep an eye on the right-hand side of your screen. The flag you see will be an indicator of how the Cubs did in their most previous contest. Here's hoping for a lot more W's than L's.

Play ball!
