Now is the right time: Cubs must show they mean business.

Sigh.  Not off to a very encouraging start.

Growing up in Kansas, the only real baseball choices were the Royals (heh…  sure), the Cubs, or the Braves.  Count me as one of the kids who grew up rushing home from school to catch the 3:05pm broadcast with Harry Carey on WGN.  Those days I wished I could throw as hard as Shawon Dunston, and one of these days I’ll sign up for shoulder surgey to correct the fact that I tried to prove it.

I don’t have the same kind of enthusiasm today, but I still follow my Cubbies (and loath the Cardinals).  Not feeling good about our chances in the division this year.   Maybe we can hang on for a wildcard.

The beat goes on.
