I think they will I believe that this is the year and I hate the Cubs. I believe that they have picked up the pieces they need to finally get the one to break the back of the Billygoat. one of the pieces being Kerry Wood former starter now Reliever. Also this is Lee's year he is having a stud of a season all ready

The Cubs may not even win there divison let alone win the world series. The cardinals have better pitching and know how to get it done.The cubies are always thinking "can I really beat the curse" while Cardnial players have nothing to lose and everything to gain.They have one of the best players in the game and an amazing pitching staff to back them up.
The cubs play in one of the worst divison in baseballs so if they make the playoffs they wont be prepared.
Also the Mets,Marlins,Braves,Phillies,D-Backs, and Dodgers are all better then the Cubs,not to mention if they even reach the world series they would have to beat the winner of the American League and a team like Boston, Detroit,Okland, or even the Angles are way better then the cubs making a world series win almost impossible
More to come

We are one of the worst divisions in baseball (we as in a reds fan) but all that means is that they will be underdogs and baseball is a game of history. In recent history we have seen the marlins beat the Yankees in the WS the WHite SOx win a WS, The Cards win one when they where down and out and the Yankees the biggest team in baseball has not one one in 8 years. Also the Red sox broke thier streak the cubbies will do the same

To face the facts,all those teams were good teams and knew how to play together.The Cubs are just an overrated ,overpaid mimick of the Yankees.All there players do is suck in money and produce nothing in return.Plus they dont play together.All the other teams had those role players who could get the job done and had amazing pitching staffs.The Marlins had Penny and Beckett,the White Soxs Burhle and Garland, Wainright,Reyes, and Carpenter for the Cardinals so theres almost no shared part between those world series winning teams and the Cubs.
In all the Cubs have a shot at the playoffs but theres little chance that there going to end the curse this year

You lost all my respect NYFAN by leaving out the Indians from your list of teams that could make it to the World Series from the AL. Shame on you.
