I watched the two games at the new Yankee Stadium during the free online MLB.TV offer. The Cubs performance was embarrassing. Fukudome and Miles looked lost in...
 Well......The Billy Goat Curse is worded "The Cubs will never play another World Series here" (Wrigley)....Just thought I'd mention that. Enjoy the new...
In their recent CBSsportsline.com picks, three of four "experts" picked the Cubs as World Series Champs, and all of them picked the Cubs to win the NL Central....
