VERY sad news with the passing of "Mr. Cub", Ernie Banks.  A legend on and off the field.  He was a great ambassador for the game and was as down to earth and humble as anyone that I have ever met.  We lost a great baseball player today, but the bigger loss was losing a great man, a great person today.

I can still remember watching him hit his 500th home run. He was one of a kind.
Let's play two today in his honor!

Very bold Shreddy, but you know what they say, "Shite happens!" You gonna throw any money down on this in Nevada? If it happened it'd be a nice payday! Odd numbered year so that means that Giants have no chance, LOL! I'm puttin' all my energy into the Indians this season.

Apparently the odds makers are on your side Shred. Cubs are currently at 10 to 1 and the Chisox are at 18 to 1. Nationals are favored to win it all.

Shred your still around sometimes ?
Your prediction would be unbelievable  of it were to happen.Too bad there are enough idiot fans who take the rivalry to physical extremes.
I like the Sox's move off season.
The Cubs are still a bit of a mystery as to how well the youngsters are at this point.I like the prediction for 2016 better.I think the two teams are getting closer to competing but not this year.

Shred,

Both teams got a lot better in the off season. The Cubs young crew has another year of seasoning under their belts. Both team's pitching improved by leaps and bounds.
That said, odds are odds and are usually made to attract bettors.
Although I think the Cubs will be competitive, just making the playoffs would be considered major for them this season. I agree that the following years they will make some noise.

As far as the Sox go, lots can happen, but with their pitching staff, I EXPECT them to make the playoffs.

Hi Bill smile ....I still cant believe the White Sox won it all just a few years back.....the cubbies have such great fans, that they really need to win one soon......a close friend who recently passed was in a home for alzheimers, and never enjoyed the Giants first one in 2010, then they win 2 more, I cried like a young child, he told me years ago that the Giants HAVE to win a World Series before he died.....to all the fans out there they can relate, I hope you get the thrill of a World Series parade at least once

As much as I love the Giants and the 3 rings there is still a void in my heart that only an Indians World Series can fill. A part of my gut has been tied in a knot since coming so close in '97. I like their chances this season and after watching the Giants win last year as a wild card it's obvious nobody knows for sure who's gonna win it all.

Re: 2024 Major League Baseball season

A glimmer of hope here in San Diego. Ownership has put their money down on building a competitive franchise at the highest level. They realize the only way San Diegans will come to the park is if the team is winning. They signed some proven bats and arms in the off season. Let's Play Ball! smile

Shreddy! Hope all is well, my friend. I agree everyone should be able to see their favorite team win it all.
After a significant title drought (in any sport), I was able to see the Bears win a Super Bowl in 1986, at the ripe old age of 29. It was the first championship I could enjoy (the Hawks won the Stanley Cup in 1961...I was 4).
Since the I've been able to witness it with every major Chicago team, except you know who.
6 Bulls titles, 2 Blackhawk Cups, a White Sox WS...I do believe the world may stop spinning if the Cubs ever win out. It would be the celebrations to end all celebrations!!
