Sports Illustrated is at it again. We are pretty sure their feature writers are Cardinal/White Sox fans. We all remember a few years back when they had the SI magazine curse on the Cubs. Well, check out the upcoming Sports Illustrated magazine cover with the headline: “It’s Gonna Happen”… LOL! Another year of disappointment is in the works I do believe. Fukudome is solid - but far from enough to break this 100 year curse. Be sure to pick up your copy of this magazine when it comes out as a reminder of why the Cubs truly are cursed!

The Lyrics to the next hit… “Wake Me Up When September Ends”

Summer has come and passed
The Cubbies have finished last
wake me up when september ends

Generations have come and passed
100 years is not that fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes another loss again
Drinking at the bars
drenched in my pain again
forgetting who we are

as the angry fans protest
they never forget every loss
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
The Cubbies have finished last
wake me up when september ends

bring out the balls again
its time to lose, its spring again
wake me up when september ends

here comes another loss again
Drinking at the bars
drenched in my pain again
forgetting who we are

as the angry fans protest
they never forget every loss
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
The Cubbies have finished last
wake me up when september ends

Generations have come and passed
100 years is not that fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends

So in the midst of this being the 100 year anniversary of the Cubs sucking, documentary filmmaker John Scheinfeld thought it would be a good idea to follow the Cubs for the 2008 season in “hope” that they win the World Series and he has a great movie.  The piece is called “We Believe”.

“It’s not a history of the Cubs,” Scheinfeld said Tuesday. “What we’re doing is a film exploring the love affair between the great city, Chicago, and it’s ball team, the Cubs — what makes Chicago unique, the city, and what makes the people of Chicago unique and why they have supported this team so passionately for so long. We’ll get into the psychology of that, the history of that.

“My challenge as a filmmaker is to find the right balance between Chicago and the Cubs.”

You are going to be following this team for many more years to come if you are waiting for that championship.  Oh it is going to be a fun year indeed!
