Cub Nation is ebullient today after the team clinched the Central Division championship for the second year in a row and for the first time in a century. Does anybody see destiny here in '08? Don't get your hopes up, Cubbie fans.
The Hound's relatives always talk about what could have been back in '45, '69, '84, '03, '07. The only year nobody gripes about is '89. How come? As most of you Cub fans sober up today after a clinch party happening rave-up, remember several things.
Clinching the division is just one goal. Last year the Cubs won the division and then went on to lose to the Arizona Diamondbacks three straight. It's called focus, folks. That's what Lou Piniella gets paid for. Let's see if he's better this year, than last when the post season begins.
And, let's ignore those Central Division champion hats. Those are UGLY with a capital u and g and l and y. Who designed those hats with those colors? During the celebration, were some Cubs wearing Sarah Palin glasses? After watching the party a dozen times, The Hound can attest those were snorkel glasses and not dental hygenist specs.
The Hound, though, is behind the Eddie Vedder song to take the Cubs to the World Series. Yet, it stlll doesn't match Chicago Shorty's ditty. If you don't know who that is, ask your older brother or an uncle. Go Cubs!
