Dude..do you know anything about baseball?

You have a point that the Cubs aren't really an 'underdog.' After all, they have one of the biggest coroprations in the world as their owners and one of the highest payrolls in all of basebal. They are a large market team with an endless revenue supply. Even wth all their injuies, if Woods or Prior aren't 100% by the AllStar break, they'll be one of the teams trying to trade for guys like Randy Johnson and Barry Zito.

But in a historical sense, this is a franshise that has only had the worst century of any team not named the Red Sox. Didn't you notice the way people reacted to the idea of the Cubs making the Series? And the subsequent heartbreak when they choked?

The Cubs aren't a small market underdog team, but believe me, if they win a Wrold Series this year, the fan outpouring will be unlike anything we've seen since the 'Miracle on Ice' U.S. Hockey team.
