This is the Year! The Historic 2008 Chicago Cubs

Poised to enter the playoffs and make a run at their first World Series title since 1908, the Chicago Cubs boast one of the best records in baseball. Veterans Carlos Zambrano and Ryan Dempster and midseason acquisition Rich Harden anchor a solid pitching staff. With returning stars Alfonso Soriano, Derrek Lee, and Aramis Ramirez in the heart of the batting order and talented young players such as Ryan Theriot and Geovany Soto making huge contributions, the Cubs' depth and balance make them one of the favorites to win it all and send their legions of fans to baseball heaven for the first time in a hundred years.
