Will this be the year?
Did you watch yesterday’s game? The above picture almost looks like it came from that game (since Ted Lilly is on the mound as he was yesterday), but a careful look at the background shows Rickey Henderson in a Mets uniform coaching first base. The Cubs clinched their division title yesterday against the Cardinals–not the Mets. I took this picture last summer when I was in Chicago.
The Cubs are looking to win their first World Series in about a hundred years. They’ve completed step one. Now they’ve just got to get past three more teams–easier said than done. But this year seems promising. It has a little extra magic that past Cubs playoff teams didn’t seem to have.
Stay tuned.
