A fairly optimistic, yet grounded in reality, look at the 2011 Cubs, particularly the winning attitude Garza and Pena bring from TB.

Another nonsense article from Greenberg

The winning mentality from Tampa? What?!?!?!

The Cubs and Rays won the same number of games in 08.
The Rays won one more game in 09. ONE.
Last year shall not be mentioned.

Sure the Rays made a World Series… but let’s please stop pretending the mentality difference between the Cubs and Rays is like the difference between the Bengals and Patriots.

Can the Cubs be more likable, as the article attests? Sure… but won’t that happen just about by default, given how unlikable last year’s squad was?

I wasnt defending his position

It was just a refreshing, not jumping off the ledge, look on things

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

That's false

The Rays won 8 more games in 2008 than the Cubs. All in the post-season.
