A Remedy For Cubs Heartache & Car Trouble

"Early on I had come to believe that events in life usually work out as they should, for a reason, even it that reason is not readily apparent." - John Wooden

What explains the Cubs' loss of a division lead in 1969 and 2004, their dropping of three straight games in 1984 and 2003 when they were one win away from the World Series, their utter non-competitiveness in the playoffs of 1989, 1998 and 2007? Could it be to magnify the glory of winning it all on the 100 year anniversary of their last world championship?

On another front, as soon as I got my car appointment scheduled with the mechanic, the "service engine soon" light has stopped shining. Could it be that this service stop will reveal something more serious that would otherwise have escaped my eye until it was too late? Tune in Monday to find out!
