Nine Reasons Cubs Fans Shouldn't Give Up

As it becomes apparent that neither Fornelli nor the Arizona Diamondbacks plan on showing any mercy, I say to the Cubs and to my fellow Cub fans:


Get up! Dust yourselves off! It could be worse. We could be the Phillies.

Sure we're down 2-0, staring elimination dead in the eye!

But I offer nine reasons for hope.

  1. The Cubs have won 3 or more consecutive games 11 times this season.


  2. The Diamondback have lost 3 or more consecutive games 10 times this season.


  3. The Cubs are 44-37 at Wrigley Field, so winning 2 of 2 is very possible.


  4. The Diamondbacks are 40-41 on the road, so losing 2 of 2 is very possible.


  5. The Cubs are 41-40 on the road, so taking 1 of 3 in Arizona is highly likely.


  6. The Diamondbacks are 50-31 at Chase Field, so losing 1 of 3 is the norm.


  7. Soriano, Lee and Ramirez aren’t this bad.


  8. Augie Ojeda isn’t this good.


  9. Most important, and as everyone knows, Jesus is a Cubs fan.

All right, then. Here’s hoping…


Ballhype: hype it up!
