Tomorrow is the first Spring Training game for the Chicago Cubs and you can bet it will be a heckuva lot warmer down in Mesa, Arizona than at Wrigley Field. Nevertheless, it’s a wonderful sign of the coming of spring and the boys of summer. After the winter we’ve had, I’m more excited than ever for the promise of warm summer evenings at the ballpark.

The last time the Chicago Cubs won the World Series was in 1908. It will be 100 years this year. Baseball’s "lovable losers" have been frozen out of a championship long enough.

Maybe this year!
