Chicago Cubs

732 bytes removed, 22:14, November 28, 2011
Removed roster because it changes so often. Changed manager to reflect new hiring.
The Chicago Cubs are referred to as "North Siders" because they have played their home games at [[Wrigley Field]] since 1916, although the stadium had held previous names before 1926. Previously, they played in [[Municipal Stadium]].
The team is currently managed by [[Lou Piniella]]Dale Sveum.
The Cubs have not won the [[World Series]] since winning consecutive crowns in 1907-08, the longest championship drought in major professional sports, and have not played in the Series since 1945, when they lost to the [[Detroit Tigers]]. Ever since the [[Boston Red Sox]] broke their "curse" with their 2004 championship win, the Cubs are considered the most cursed team in professional sports.
Rivals of the Cubs include the [[St. Louis Cardinals]], [[Chicago White Sox]], and [[Milwaukee Brewers]].
