Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
As the Cubs begin the remainder of the season, we should think about the lowering of our expectations over the years:
1909: Maybe we’ll repeat as world champions! 1945: Maybe we’ll win the World Series! 1969: Maybe we’ll win the pennant! 2007: Maybe we’ll win a playoff series! 2008: Maybe we’ll win a playoff game! 2010: Maybe we’ll get into the playoffs! 2011: Maybe we’ll win three in a row! 2012 (projected): Maybe we’ll get a good number one overall draft pick!
