Welcome to Go Cubs Go

Phil Rogers of the Chicago Tribune wrote a real good article about the off season moves of the Chicago Cubs and the rest of the National League Central.

I found Rogers’ take on the off season to be pretty rational.  I think he makes a great point when he says that while the Cubs may have only made a few trades, they have benefited even more from the other NL Central teams doing nothing.  Rogers also points out that only seven teams have made any significant transactions that will improve the club.  According to Rogers, only two of those teams come from the National Leage: The San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets.  The other five include: the Yankees, Athletics, Indians, Orioles, and Royals.  He also goes on to say that the trend of the American League being the stronger league will only continue as free agents like Manny Ramirez and others are likely to move into the American League where they can contend.

I don’t really care about the whole “American League” is better stuff… I mean, the Cardinals won in 2006 and the Phillies just won it in 2008.  Just make the World Series and just about anything can happen.  Who cares what the Cubs do… as long as they actually win some games come October, then it’s all good.
