Baseball season outlook
Quit picking the Cubs to win! Please! I have read, for many years now, that during the preseason, the Cubs look like the Chosen Ones to play in the World Series (and even win it). But it hasn't happen. Cubs roster looks good on paper. It looks good in an EA Sports video game. But in reality, that's it (well, it does sell tickets and make money.) Even playing in the weakest division in the league, the Cubs won't make it past the playoffs. It's not the curse. I don't believe in the curse.
I mean, just look at the Yankees lineup--looks good on paper, in video games, in fantasy baseball, but they can't win in October.
so, please, I implore you to stop picking the Cubs. With 162 games in the regular season, a lot could happen. I predict Cubs will make wildcard by losing in the one-game playoff (after blowing a 10 game lead in September), and get swept in the NLCS.
