Bleed Cubbie Blue

From David Geiser of the Cubs newsgroup, yesterday morning:

I experienced a Good Omen yesterday morning.

I got out early and headed to a local natural area to collect jelly fungi for my class. As I was driving back, something ambled across the road in front of me.

It was a bear cub.

Explanation: David is a professor of plant pathology. So this morning, I got this e-mail from him:

Heck, even I'm convinced we're going to win it. Even after the loss on Tuesday, which was far more of a must-win for the Marlins than for the Cubs, I felt that way. The way they battled back made that even more true.

And after the bear cub omen, I think they're going to win the World Series.

My friend, I hope you're right. Let's win it today.
