It scares me to see the Cubs almost universally predicted to be division champs, especially when:

- Kerry Wood has a good chance of coming up lame, probably at the worst possible time.
- Derrek Lee seems to have lost all of his power.
- The starting rotation has not improved...I don't have much faith that moving Dempster (Dumpster) from closer to starter will change his results.
- Alfonso Soriano has lost his base stealing desire/capability.
- Brian Roberts appears to be the longest awaited non-trade in history.

If we could overcome these obstacles and win the WS in this centennial anniversary of our last title, it would be awesome.
