It Ends, It Begins

As 2007 comes to a close, so does an era of Chicago Cub history. And not a very good one.

If Sam Zell's timeline is correct, then 2007 was the last year under which the Chicago Cubs will take the field under the umbrella of Tribune Corporation ownership.

Now, this page is not insightfull enough to know who the new owner will be or how their stewardship will turn out.

What is known is that change from a negative situation offers something Cub fans live for -- hope.

There is hope that things will be better for the Cubs in 2008 and beyond. And, in reality, isn't that what celebrating the coming of the new year is all about? Aren't we all hoping that things will be better next year than they were this year? That finally seems to be true for the Chicago National League Ball Club.

May your best day of 2007 be the worst day of your 2008.
