The [Thursday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

"Just so many great things on the other side of a World Series Championship," our very own Marty Gangler writes in The Cub Factor: Yada Yada.

"Sure, all the clichés are there. You know, about being able to die in peace and wishing grandparents and family members could see this, yada yada. Sure, those are all great, and real, but when it comes down to it, when I'm about to die I'm probably going to do my best to just not die and I may not think about the Cubs at all, you know, because I might be about to die.

"I guess my point is that for the living, the coolest thing about the Cubs winning it is that I don't have to think about next season much at all. Who they need to move, who they are going to acquire, who's on my hate list, etc. It's all just Cubbie Blue gravy now."
