Did Nostradamus predict that the Chicago Cubs will win the World Series in the 100th year?

Shall come men numbering nine

A United Press International (UPI) News website writes that Chicago Cubs fans are buying hundreds of "Keep It Wrigley" T-shirts to wear to Monday's home opener at Wrigley Field.

A newspaper (Chicago Sun Times?) is "giving away 100 'Keep it Wrigley' shirts to contestants who submit the most creative limerick explaining why the revered baseball stadium should keep its name."

Filmmaker John Scheinfeld and a Chicago crew will follow the 2008 Cubs for a movie with a working title, "We Believe."

The documentary will take a revealing inquiry of Chicago, its people and the Cubs.

Carrie Muskat writes about We Believe at MLB.COM.

"It's not a history of the Cubs," Scheinfeld said Tuesday. "What we're doing is a film exploring the love affair between the great city, Chicago, and it's ball team, the Cubs -- what makes Chicago unique, the city, and what makes the people of Chicago unique and why they have supported this team so passionately for so long. We'll get into the psychology of that, the history of that.

The article claims, "this isn't...a sports movie," but Scheinfeld did mention to Cubs manager Lou Piniella during a recent interview "that it would definitely help if the team won it all."

We believe that you should honor that request, Lou.

And we thought the VWR was a nightmare...

The Rockies had to suspend the sale of tickets for World Series games at Coors Field after a ticketing system malfunction earlier today (Monday).

"After more than 8.5 million hits on the Colorado Rockies website, Paciolan, MLB's ticket vendor, experienced a system wide outage that impacted all of its North American customers. As a result, the Colorado Rockies have suspended the sale of 2007 World Series tickets scheduled to be played at Coors Field" until a new plan is announced.

Although some ticket transactions (less than 500 seats) did take place this morning, virtually all of the tickets for the three games in Denver remain available. A new plan to sell them will be announced soon.
