An objective look at the love of my life--the Chicago Cubs.

The Cubs need Mark Prior to be the REAL Mark Prior


A lot of writers and 'experts' have been all over the map with trying to predict what the 2005 Cubs will accomplish...or not accomplish. Some have said they're a long shot for the playoffs because they've lost a lot of offense. Others, like this article, claim that a healthy starting rotation will propel them to a division title and maybe more. Ken Rosenthal of The Sporting News predicts the Cubs to face the Yankees in the World Series.

Now of course I'd rather a writer tell me that the Cubs will be in the Fall Classic instead of watching it on TV like they did in '04. But predictions mean NOTHING. The 2004 Cubs were a huge favorite to go to the World Series and they didn't even make the playoffs.

Baseball is unpredictable. But it's still fun to read up on what the new Cubs will look like and gather your own conclusions about how they'll perform in 2005.
