Add Yours? May 19 2003
OK, so it's still early in the season, but what do you think: Can the Cubs make it all the way this year?
Kris / May 19, 2003 10:04 AM
Shhhhhhh! You'll jinx it!
Andrew / May 19, 2003 11:37 AM
Oh, come on! They're in first place in their division! What could go wrong?
Adam / May 19, 2003 3:19 PM
Doesn't something always go wrong with the cubs?
Matt / May 19, 2003 4:08 PM
Isn't that the understatement of the century? Well, 95 years at least.

Cubs win!!! Cubs Win!!! Cubs Win!!!
Wouldn't it be nice hearing that on Game 7 of the 2003 World Series?!?!

Man, I don't even *like* basketball!

What would Chicago do if it caught its tail?
Jeffrey Utech / May 20, 2003 1:01 PM
I'm saying no, if only to protect myself. I have seen the Cubs in first place through June too many times, only to have my heart broken by the end of the season.

As a student of history: no.
As a Cubs fan: yes.
Considering that a Cubs World Series win is likely to signal the end of life as we know it, I'm torn as to which to go with.
