With Astros in Town, Cubs Can Only Win for Losing

The Cubs set to welcome our equally inferior foes from the Lone Star State

Your crummy Chicago Cubs (39-60) host the only slightly more crummy Houston Astros (33-65) this afternoon at lovely Wrigley Field. It is a battle for the basement as the teams with the two worst records in the entire Major Leagues face off for three games under the sun.

I had my brother Harold do a little research about the Cubs and their history of finishing dead last in the MLB. To our surprise it has only happened ONCE since they started handing out the top draft pick to the biggest loser back in '65. The year for the Cubs was '81 (which was a strange, strike shortened year) and the result of our achievement in paltry play was the drafting of good ol' Shawon Dunston in '82.

With very little to root for this year, perhaps it is time to hope for a continuation of our losing ways. Maybe a complete and utter tanking will bring about some much needed change to this god-awful team.
