The Cubs won their 10,000th game last night. That's second only to the San Francisco Giants. There's a reason to rejoice here if you're a Cubs fan because not only are you able to boast the second-most all-time win total, but your team is off to it's best start in 101 years with a 15-6 record. In 1907 the baby bears started 17-4 and went on to win the World Series. That's the only hotter start in franchise history. It's common knowledge that they haven't won a World Series since back-to-back wins in 1907 and 1908. And that's been calculated at one hundred years without a championship by many a hater. Is it "gonna happen" this year? Maybe. I highlighted a few things going right for the Northsiders in my Power Rankings article a couple days ago. If I was a betting man, which I am, I'd say the Cubs won't pull it off this year. It's just too gay. On the 100th year anniversary of their last championship? That's queer. I'm going Diamondbacks vs. White Sox and the D-Backs take it in 5. I'll leave you with this stat: The Cubs have won 7,670 games since they last hoisted The Commissioner's Trophy. That's a whole lot of "not capitalizing," or non-capitalization, whichever you prefer.

Cubs Win 10,000th, Yet It Remains Doubtful They'll Ever Stop Making Jinxing Posters
