Preseason Predictions

While I am paying attention to spring training I thought it would be a good time to predict the Cubs future. Many people see a Japanese superstar that can finally lead the team to a curse breaking season. I also see many holes in the Cubs pitching staff, mostly in the starting rotation. Finally, I will predict where the Cubs will finish.

First I am going to address the Cubs offense and Fukadome. Sadly I have to say the Cubs will have the best offense in the N.L. central. Now we will address Fukadome. Many see him as a savior and the missing piece to a Cubs World Series. I see a 31 year old player, with a wounded elbow, who has never seen a MLB pitch. Fukadome missed half of last years season with a shattered elbow. Not just a hurt elbow, a shattered elbow. So I think he will start off good, get hurt and not return to his all-star potential.

They still can't beat the Sox at the Cell, and since the AL will automatically attain the home-field advantage, the Chubs aint winning it all.....for the hundreth freaking time in a row!!
Sooner - you're helping prove the point I have been making for two years....that the Cubs are a better team when Soriano is not in the lineup....

1st - CUBS WIN and take series in the red birdies back yard
2nd Obviously Wood matters. You may have noticed he is an allstar.
3rd - Cubs won last year because they were better and going 11-5 vs Cardinals just made it that much more fun
4rth - Cubs were 3 1/2up with soriano out last weekend and 2 1/2 after sunday now 3 1/2 again. So Soriano out and no ground gained end result
I'm not trash-talking, I am just trying to educate Sooner. I'm all about education and helping misguided folks like Sooner see the light.......and reject the dark side, which is on the North side of Chicago.

i think all this trash talking is warranting a throwdown

Oh Sooner.... I get that you have had some injuries (Oh, andn I don't think you can count Wood, since he had barely pitched for like 3 years), but the Cubs won the division last year primarily because it was such a down year for the Cards. And don't talk to me about injuries. The Cards have been without Carpenter all year, and now have Wainwright on the DL. That is our two top pitchers, and we gained two games over the weekend, since you seem to have lost count.

We won the division last year with Soriano out nearly 1/2 the year. Kerry Wood not playing until late August, and Derrick Lee having a wrist issue all year that impacted his power.

You have actually close a game in 3 weeks. That is not coming fast. That is just sad
