Major League Baseball ToDay

The Chicago Cubs are a Major League Baseball team that plays in the National League.  The Cubs play at Wrigley Field in the North Side Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.  The Chicago Cubs are just one of two teams that call Chicago their home, the other being the Chicago White Sox who play in the American League. The Cubs have played in the National League since 1876 and have played in the Central division since 1994. The Chicago Cubs are often referred to as “The Cubbies” or they’re also referred to as “The North Siders”. The Cubs are referred to as the North Siders because they play on the North Side of Chicago and the White Sox play on the South Side. Their fans are crazy about them and are stocking up on Chicago Cubs Merchandise.
The Cubs have won only two World Series titles in their existence.  They won the World Series in 1907 and in 1908.  The Chicago Cubs have had some success by winning 16 league Pennants. The Cubs won them in 1876, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1885, 1886, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1910, 1918, 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938, and 1945.  They have won one Central Division Title which was in 2003.  They have won the Eastern Division Title twice; one in 1989 and 1984.The Chicago Cubs have the longest dry spell between championships in all of professional sports.  Major League Baseball, NFL, NHL, and the NBA included.  The Chicago Cubs have not won a championship since 1908 and the Cubs have not been to the World Series since 1945.
Wrigley Field has been a home for the Chicago Cubs since 1960.  The park was originally built in 1914 for the Chicago Federal League Baseball team, the Chicago Whales. The park was also home for the Chicago Bears, a NFL team.  The Bears used the park from 1921 to 1970. Wrigley Field is located at 1060 W. Addison St. in Chicago, Illinois.  The park has been referred to as Cubs Park and Weeghman Park in the past.  Cubs fans and announcers also lovingly refer to it as “the friendly confines.”
The lovable Chicago Cubs rest their confidence in the All-Star Alfonso Soriano for the 2007 season. With power hitters like Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez the Cubs look to have a strong offense for the 2007 season. The offense will be back by the power pitching of Carlos Zambrano.
