Chicago Cubs

Why are the Chicago Cubs such a popular team?

I've always wondered this question for about a few years now, and its really sprung up to me that the Chicago Cubs are a very popular team. Why are they such a popular team though? Really they are one of my least favorite teams in professional sports, and they are boring to watch to me. I just always failed to see why they are a popular team.

We should be buddies, I often wonder why does anybody with even half brain power, even like the team in the first place. It is not like the Chicago Cubs are a rival team of yours, like the Chicago White Sox. Not that I am saying that they are a boring team, but I juist don't get why fans love the team. And maybe Wrigley Field has something to do with it. But we don't always have to like or hate the same teams, some people might have become Cubs gans, but either grouwing up near Wrigley Field, or they have family members that are Chicago Cubs fans.

The 2010 Chicago Cubs

How do you see the Chicago Cubs performing after the All Star Break?

In what ways do you see the Chicago Cubs performing after the 2007 MLB All Star Game in San Francisco?

I agree with you that the Cubs will end up winning the Central for a few main reasons.

1. There are no great contenders. Sure, people say the Brewers are a pretty good team, but I think they have been pretty fortunate in the first half of the season. People like Hardy have been having above average seasons and there is no reason why they will not cool down in the second half of this season. And no one knows if Fielder is going to be able to keep up his pace of 50+ homers. Even Francisco Cordero is playing a lot better than his average or previous years would suggest, and I don't see why this will continue.

2. The Cubs have the talent. You put Alfonso Soriano, Derrek Lee, and Aramis Ramirez in the top of any lineup in the NL, that team becomes instant contenders, especially in a division as weak as the central. And their rotation isn't too bad either, Zambrano is the Santana of the NL and usually has strong finishes to his season. Ted Lilly has pitched well, and so has Jason Marquis. Even Sean Marshall has been doing quite well as a #4 starter.

3. The Cubs have been quite unlucky. If you look at the run differential, the Cubs should have a better record than they currently do. This is because of their bad luck in 1-run games. If the Cubs fix this, I don't see why they can't win the Central.
