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!

It was the perfect start to the perfect season. Everyone in Chicago was geared up for this years so called, “contenders”, in the NL Central. Zambrano pitched a great game but left with some kind of an injury. Wow, what’s new… A Cub with a minor injury. The game was knotted up at zeros going into the ninth inning. Where is that ferocious Cubbie offense at? Kerry Wood, the newly acclaimed closer came into the game to keep in scoreless. Ooooops, Wood gave up an immediate 3. Time to start the “closer questions” in Cubbyville again.

Fukudome gave the Cubs a little false hope in the bottom of the ninth by smashing a 3 run bomb. False hope is about all that was as the BrewCrew got to Bob Howry in the top of the 10th and won the game 4-3. o-1 start for the Cubs… It’s going to be a fun year everyone!
