Does Chitown Have a Chance ?

Chicago a finalist for 2016 Summer Olympics
Madrid, Tokyo, Rio also vying for Games; final decision will be Oct. 2, 2009

I wish I could "hear" what Slats Grobnick would think of Chicago getting the Olympics.

Damn, I hope so! We do have a secret weapon.

Peace. :cool:

I certainly hope so.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was in reference to the fact that the Cubs have the best record in baseball in June. I think I heard that they hadn't been in this position since 190-something.

1908. The same year they last won the World Series.

Well then I'll be hoping for good news for Chicago two Octobers in a row.
