"** UPDATE via Sports Illustrated **\nCubs (left) also made the news, thanks to a bold prediction by closer Ryan Dempster. \"I think we are going to win the World Series. I really do,\" Dempster said. That's the kind of story baseball can use. This season marks the 100th anniversary of the Cubs' last World Series winner.\n**********\nJust to let you Chicago kids know... I got to touch the grass at Wrigley Field West. And its NICE. Its green, kind of spongey and very much like a carpet of green smelling summer love.\n\nI think the morning dew makes my skin really soft\n\nAnyway, I got to throw in the bullpen and even took some grounders at short.\n\n\n** UPDATE **\nYou can see pitchers and catchers working out at Fitch Park just south of Hohokam. \n****************"^^ . . .
