My latest PJ Media sports article is up and I take a look at the Chicago Cubs and their chances of winning it all this year – thus ending by far the longest title drought in professional sports.
A sample:
If you live in Chicago or one of the many Midwestern enclaves where baseball fans live and die with the fortunes of their Cubs every year, you are probably getting a little nervous right about now.
It’s the middle of August and your Cubbies haven’t collapsed in the standings yet. No June Swoon. No July Swan Dive. And the August dog days have not seen the Cubs screw the pooch – not yet anyway. If I didn’t know any better, I would have to say that the Cubs are genuine contenders for their division and perhaps even the National League crown.
Then again, I know better.

I’ve already asked this elsewhere, but it seems applicable here, as well… If the Cubbies were to win the series, would that make Derrek Lee the First Baseman of the Apocalypse?
Dare we even hope, under the circumstances?
