Not sure I can talk you down recent history has me very concerned! The Montreal Canadiens started last year off 9-0... With about a 1/3 of the season gone the Habs were 12 games above .500! Then they had a key injury (Price- gone for the season) and that started to send them down the standings as they couldn't keep the puck out of there own net. By the end of the season they finished with a .500 record and were out of the playoffs after such an awesome start to the year it was highly unlikely that they would have missed the playoffs. Looking at the Cubs 1/3 of the way thru I remember talking about how they were 35-14 or something around there and it reminded me of how I felt with the Habs the great joy of seeing your team do great and have high hopes for a playoff run... But I couldn't bring myself to thinking that they would continue that dominance and was thinking that all we need to do is play .500 ball the rest of the way and we will be in the drivers seat and should avoid the wild card game and have a good chance at a bunch of home games in the playoffs. Since then I think that is exactly what the team has done play right around .500 ball... I guess all that I can say is that lets hope that the injury bug has taken its bite and is going to move along to some other team (just not the Jays- as I would love to see Cubs v Jays WS- then I will have problems not knowing what team to cheer for from my seats in Rogers Centre)

Cub fan from Ontario here and heading to the city at end of month for Lolla and Cubs games... Not sure which one I'm more excited about, actually I am sure, its to see a :flythew: over the south side! Since this is my first trip to Wrigley I'm looking for some tips about getting to the game from the Loop and should I stub hub for tickets or wait until I get to the stadium. What about places to go check out prior to the game, what time does the area get busy... Oh, is it worth taking a tour of the stadium??
