Every day.

I'm down in Arizona, watching the Chicago Cubs play exhibition baseball games, and I'm sickened by what I see. A team going through the motions. With no fervor. No drive. No passion. Sure, it's just spring training. Not the regular season yet. But this is uncalled for. It's why the Cubs haven't won a World Series since 1908. The Cubs won their first four exhibition games. Now they've lost 6 straight, and 8 of 9. I've watched the last 3 games. The Cubs have been lethargic. Pathetic. No excuse for that. They're supposed to be preparing for a championship season. This is no way to do it. You play to win. Even in the spring. You hate to lose. If this continues much longer, I'd shake things up. Maybe a trade or two. Or bring in some young ballplayers with gumption. Players willing to go through more than just the simple motions. You don't wait for the season to start to turn it on. You do it now. Today. And tomorrow. And next week. And right on through the season. That's how you win a World Series. You love to play baseball. Every day. --Jim Broede
