1) Cubs, Summer of 2001. Nope Will they do it?It in 2002? Nope  ,  And what about 2003?  CUBS CLINCH NL Central. Yes it can be true. Well they had an excellent season in 2003 and won the NL central and went on to beat Atlanta in 5 but Marlins take the NCLS in 7 and the beat goes on. Yet there is no joy in Wrigleyville again. And was 2004 a disaster.
