Cubs & Yankees Destined For 2009 World Series?

It would be nice to see the Cubs get back to the place where they belong.

Ok, so they have not been to the World Series since my great great grandpa watched Ty Cobb lace them up.

But with opening up of the $1.5 Billion House-that-A-Rod-financed-through-Public- Steroids a.k.a. the new Yankee Stadium, and the Cubs making a cameo in April, I think it only fitting the Wrigley wonders and new digs be home to the 2009 World Series.

Wrigley is going to be a historic landmark that sees less usage by 2016-17. Why you may wonder?

The 2016 Olympics makes it a hope they build a brand new baseball stadium with a Chicago heart of Wrigley Field pumping inside of it.

It seems far fetched, but with the stadium renovations becoming a yearly task, a new building with the ivy character and Internet modernization would be snappy. (Assuming the Olympics, else, no go.)

But looking at the past 101 seasons with no championship, and the present Yankees, chances remain slim.

The Yankees doubled down, like a gambling addict, spending three times as much as those AIG executives got in bonuses.

So with all that cash, it's a lock the Yankees will be in the playoffs. Right?

Well not so fast there, partner. You better get a blackjack dealer that isn't called Doc. (Or hope CC is enough medicine for your ailing pitching staff. And A.J. is more a jack-ass when it comes to getting his meds after injuries.)

The Cubs are hoping Fukudome does not "F—U—K them out of a playoff run."

Or Harden, Dempster, and/or Big Z fail miserably to repeat last season's pitching excellence.

Or Milton Bradley does not break the Boardwalk (or bat) in showing he cares so much about his performance for those lovable Cubbies. Geovany needs to keep his head.

That's all. That's all...??? 

When it's all said, and written about, the Cubs can go far in the weak NL Central. Then on to Philly, NYC or LA, or maybe the Florida Sunshine in October.

The Yankees have two teams in Boston and Tampa now that can play Yankee ball better than the Yankees. Both the Rays and the Sox may even have more talent in the minors too than the Yankees.

Don't count them damn Yankees out, but unless they are going to buy every fantasy star in MLB, I have my doubts.
