Well, I have been called pessimistic before when it comes to sports (I of course prefer to look at it as realistic) but it is clear this cubs team is no different (and thus no closer to any sort of championship) than any other year.
Mark my words, cubs are done. Here's looking at 3rd place and that's only because it is such a terrible division.

Yep. Completely realistic to write off the season after one game of a 162 game season that isn't even complete yet. Completely realistic.

Wood's shittiness does worry me a little bit, but the season is sooooo long, they can certainly seek alternatives.

I would say 100 years is a pretty decent sample size and i could've written them off after 1 game in each of those years and been correct. So here's to tradition.

So every year that they don't win a world series is a failure? I would consider last year a pretty good year, they did win the division. |

It's just the first game and while I wasn't impressed with Wood's performance (nor have I been a supporter of his historically) there is plenty of time to remedy that situation should it continue. If we're sitting in the same boat 4 weeks from now, then we have a problem. Until then, relax dude. |

First, YES, every year without a championship in any sport is a failure-to think otherwise is to accept mediocrity from your teams. Second, there are so many problems with considering last year a pretty good year I would have to begin a new thread (i.e. winning that division is like being the tallest midget) to detail them all. Third, the problem is that there are too many asshats who "just want to compete." Look let the Devil Rays and Royals and Pirates and Orioles (you get the picture) get moral victories for coming close or getting to .500. Me, personally, I want a WS and if that's not the goal then what's the point?

I wouldnt be ready to throw in the towel on the season if the CUBS were 11 games behind the brewers on aug 1. I am to much of a Cubs Optimist.
Its never to late for a good hard run.
So no, i am not going to freak out about being 0 and 1 on April 1st.

For the record, my name has nothing to do with Kerry Wood. I am not a Cubs fan but rather an Astros fan.
