Opening day--the last of an era

Today's opening day, and while I'll confess to having more enthusiasm for the Twins than I have in years past, the Cubbies are still my team. It's now been 99 years since the North Siders have won a World Series. They spent $300 million this off season to try to fix that, though according to prognosicators, we shouldn't bet on it. On top of that, news comes out this morning that the Cubs will have a new owner next year. As one of the best sports franchises out there (financially speaking), I'm guessing a pitched battle will ensue. We can only hope that it's a fan who finally poinies up.

Good luck to both the Cubs and Twins today!
