I recently wrote about the dubious honor of the Cubs 10,000 wins.

Please take a read of my recent blog if you want to understand why I am so suspect of this honor. Let me point out a painful but obvious statistic that since the Cubs hailed that “10,000 Win” flag, they have lost 5 out of 7 games.

Last night, the promotion was a faux “W” flag for the first 10,000 fans. Isn’t that risky business? It’s a flag that you only can use for half the season’s games (in a good year). What’s that about? I hate celebrating mediocrity. It comes back to bite you in the end…case in point, today…Kerry Wood had a demoralizing loss in the 9th. Let’s hope the karma takes a turn for some better baseball. untill then, take it easy on the “W” flags.
