I believe that every team starts out with a fair chance of winning the world series, but you can't base the 162 game season on the first 20 games, so with that being siad, i think that there is a average to good possilbility that they may win. \n\n\nGO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure about the "best" team in baseball. But I do believe they will win The World Series this year.

Buy it form Kenny Williams (White SOX GM)\n\nBut seriously, the Chi-Trib (owners of the cubs) only care about the money.  So as long as those cheap polish pricks own the cubs, they will never win the world series.\n\nBut a good start would be to get rid of Dusty Baker, and let the billy goat into a game.

Even getting to the World Series is tough. Winning is tougher, and a sweep is very difficult. The Cubs will have a hard time making the playoffs unless their pitching gets healthy in a hurry. Good pitching is the best thing you can have in the playoffs, so it's possible they could win it all and sweep the Series. I just don't think their picthing can stay healthy that long.

I think they will do okay this year. They won't get to the World Series but they will do okay.

THEY WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS BUT THEY WON WIN IT ALL.  THE BRAVES WILL NOT WIN THE DIVISION FOR THE 15TH TIME...I THINK THE METS HAVE TO MANY BULLPEN AND STARTER PROBLEMS.

This year I predict that the Cubs WILL WIN THE WORLD SERIES and that they will win against the American League Champions Chicago White Sox in six games.

well it sure isn't going to be the Cubs, the Red Sox, the Yankees or the Mets.\nIm going with the world champion White Sox for a back to back championship.

they should do okay, probably perform better as a whole than last years did.  Each guy will fit some of the roles the Cubs needed to fill, last year they depended too much on the homerun

Anything can happen in baseball. The Cubs have many holes and problems on their rosters to fill. \n\nCan their starting pitching stay healthy? Mark Prior needs to pitch a full season making 32-35 starts. Kerry Wood? He might not be a starter ever again, and may consider a move to the bullpen. \n\nHitting, they have many holes to fill now that Ramariez is a free agent. They need to get protection for Derrek Lee. They need another power bat, a guy wgo can bat in the middle of their lineup. Juan Pierre is a free agent, therefore they need to acquire a new CF or resign him. They need a new 2B after they trade Todd Walker.\n\nBullpen wise, there middle relief seems good with Howry and Erye. Dempster was shaky in 06, which makes me wonder if his 2005 season was a fluke. They need bullpen depth and they do not have it.\n\nTheir bench needs depth also, so they must improve in that area.\n\nLook at their 2003 club. They had one of the best , if not, best starting rotation that year with Mark Prior, Kerry Wood, Carlos Zambrano and Matt Clement. They made the playoffs that year. Mostly it will determine on the health of Mark Prior and if they add a solid starter, and with improvements they make in the offseason.

I think they have improved their hitting and leadoff spot which has been hurting them for years now. I wish they'd either get rid of Kerry Wood or move him to the bullpen. But I think they'll have a solid bullpen this year which was killing them last year. Oh, and watch for them to manufacture runs with Pierre and Hairston batting 1 and 2. I don't think they'll rely so heavily on the homerun ball this year. Don't give up on this season even if they start slow. We want them to peak at the end of the season. Yes, I bleed blue. White Suks!!!! Go Cubs!!!!
