In case you missed the ESPN feature recently, they did a piece on “99 Years of Misery” that goes year by year and discusses the Cubs suckiness. Check it out here.

Unreal Jason! Anyone that makes these sort of remarks should be cut immediately and forced to work a normal paying job! Still glad you have him Cub fans? What a cancer!

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!

So we’ve already witnessed a number of Spring Training injuries on the Cubs roster.  The two best are:

• Alfonso Soriano breaks his finger and is out a while.  This could hurt.  Alfonso has never been real “tough” and he doesn’t like to play through pain.  Could be a long year Cub fans.
• Jose Ascanio got jacked up in the face during a robbery attempt.
• Mark Derosa having heart issues.  We wish Mark all the best.  Even we wouldn’t joke about a serious matter like this.
• And the best of all - Felix Pie has been out for a few games due to a twisted testicle.  How in the world do you get a twisted testicle?  And how bad would that hurt? I never want to find out.

We won’t even say much about this as it’s too easy of a target. But did you all know that Aramis is into cockfighting? He won’t comment too much on the issue:

“I’m not going to talk about that. That’s personal, that’s a different culture down there. I’m from [the] Dominican, so let’s talk about baseball,” he said.

Yeah it must be Aramis. You better focus a little more on baseball and a little less on that cockfighting.
