Cub Fans Are Delusional

The Cubs have hired a new manager but that doesn't really change anything.

The team still sucks!

They don't have a leadoff man, #2 hitter, and their pitching staff is horrible. Their farm system is lacking in young talent and I seriously doubt if Lou Piniella can turn things around.

ESPN is reporting that Lou Piniella wants the Cubs to trade for Alex Rodriguez but the Cubs don't have anything to trade. I've been listening to sports radio and Cub fans are calling up and proclaiming that the Cubs will win the World Series next year. These poor bastards are almost as deluded as Bush backers. The NL central is a weak division so anything can happen but I seriously doubt if the Cubs will make it to the World Series by 2008.

Frank Thomas For MVP

While everyone is focused on Jeter, Ortiz, and Dye as possible winners of the MVP award, Frank Thomas is being overlooked. This man is practically carrying the A's in the playoffs and if he stays hot, he might lead the A's to the World Series.

The White Sox were stupid for letting this man go and they paid for it by getting swept by the A's and Frank Thomas. I doubt that Thomas will win the MVP because the fix is in for Derek Jeter but it would be nice to see him get it. Frank was the best player on the White Sox for years and he's proving to his doubters that he is still one of the best in the league.
