The Chicago Cubs were officially eliminated from playoff contention this week, which was terribly disappointing given their success last year and amount of money they spent on their payroll. (an ESPN poll recently showed that the Cubs season was far more disappointing than the recent loss of the Olympics) I had been following the team closely until the last two weeks...at which point I realized they wouldn't make it again. Being a Cubs fan is a lesson in faith.
Here is a graphic by the Chicago Tribune that shows the last 101 World Series winners since the Cubs last won it all. I'll now turn my patronage to the Phillies for the remainder of the 2009 baseball season. Go Phils!
