My name is Murrell, and most of you probably know I'm a Cubs fan.  I just read a thread on cubs.com suggesting the Cubs quit playing the "Go Cubs Go" song after a Cubs win.  Now someday in the future, I'll probably support not playing the song.  But now is not that time. 

First of all, they only play the song after the Cubs win, and the Cubs are terrible.  They are still the only team in baseball without a 3 game winning streak.  It's not like you've heard the song a bunch this year.  How sick of it can you be?  It's not exactly getting the airplay of "Hey Soul Sister" by Train (which is inescapable).

Secondly, they are are so many other traditions that need to be dumped.  I think the Rickets family should send out a memo to all Cubs players, broadcasters, front office staff, mail room clerks, hot dog vendors, and anyone else who can read that if anyone so much as mentions a 'curse' they'll fined 3 weeks pay.  The 'Curse of the Billy Goat" was a cute story, but after 60+ years, I'm tired of it.  No Curses.  No Excuses.

Also, take down that sign across the street that shows how many years it's been since the Cubs have won the division, NL pennant, and World Series.  Why do we need a huge reminder of our failures pointed out every day?

As for the future, the Cubs have over $50 million coming off the books this offseason, so they'll have some money to make some moves and get better.  And to be honest, the Cubs only have 4 real problems.  They can't hit.  Their starting pitching is bad.  The bullpen can't throw strikes.  And their defense is awful.  So once they fix those, everything will be just fine. =)

Thanks for reading.
