Too Early To Believe

Now that the Cubs have won six games in a row, it's tempting to start getting your hopes up. But we've all done that before, and we all fell to earth without a parachute.

Yes, Fontenot is knocking the cover off the ball. DeRosa is getting better with the glove and the bat. Zambrano keeps growing bigger and throwing harder. What could go wrong?

Everything could go wrong. It always has in the past, and the past is all that we have to help us make judgments about the future.

And to avoid the eternal curse, everyone must remember this law. When the opposing team hits a home run at Wrigley, always throw the ball back.

Failure to follow this simple command will lead to disaster.
