To: Hebrews 11:6; Homer_J_Simpson

As a Cub fan since 1973, I simply shrug my shoulders, and then have another Old Style.

I went to a Cub game last August with my friends. The ceremonial presentation of the game ball was done by a guy celebrating his 100th birthday that day. All my buddies thought that was really cool, until I pointed out to them that when the guy was born, it had already been six years since the Cubs last won a World Series.

The problem with the Cubs has always been its owners. The current bunch appears on the right track. If I were a bettor, I'd predict a World Series appearance, if not also an outright victory, before the decade is out--although Doc Brown's report of a world championship this year looks overly optimistic.

Take heart! You now have ol' #14 smiling down from Cub heaven.
