Cubs fans know how to dream.

The Chicago Cubs are cursed. They can't escape losing streaks. Last week, the Cubs broke a 12-game losing streak. But then I discovered that the Cubs had another losing streak. It's reached 11 straight losses of road games. Away from the Cubs home ballpark. And they've also started another losing streak since they last won a game. It's reached four games. Another way of putting it: the Cubs have lost 16 of their last 19 games. The only wins came against the more hapless San Diego Padres --the team with the worst record in major league baseball. But it's a long season. Give the Cubs time. They'll be the worst when it really counts. On the last day of the season. But that's all right with me. Creates the possibility of a wonderful scenario. Going from worst to first. Next year. Yes, we Cubs fans know how to dream. --Jim Broede
