Here We Go Again

I wanted to get this one in under the wire, get my prediction on record, and since first pitch is less than 20 minutes away, it'll be thank-fuck this is quick.

I've been a Cubs fan since before I was born. I was fortunate to have a grandfather with the good sense to root for the Cubs, even though he grew up in Arkansas and was closer to St. Louis than Chicago. He infused his love for the Cubs into my dad, who instilled it in me. Now I get my hopes crushed every year, and if nothing else it has taught me to be resilient in the face of setbacks.

This year, I'm predicting a sub-500 record, the pitching should be o.k., but that offense looks terrible. 78 wins, if they're lucky.
