Rest In Peace: 2009 Cubs
- 100 Year Curse
by Sean Heffernan
I have called you all here today to lay to rest the latest installment of the lovable losers of Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs.

Will the Northside and the Southside come alive?
The All-Star Break. No, not that 4-day set depriving us of action on the diamond. No, that 4-day set allowing us to take inventory on whether or not it's time to start looking to football season.
