The late great Steve Goodman and a song that rings more true with each passing year that the Cubs don’t make/win the World Series. The line about the last time the Cubs won the National Pennant was when we dropped the bomb on Japan, still true today, 30+ years after this song was written. Cubs haven’t won the World Series since 1908. With the Cubs out of the playoffs, my fellow faithful can lament: “There’s always next century.”
