100 Years Sounds Like a Long Time (unless you're a vampire, obviously)

With pitchers and catchers (and Fukudome!) already at camp, it's finally here. Cubs Spring Training 2008. Unfortunately, they didn't go with the slogan I suggested, "2008: This Time We're Really Not Kidding." For those of you already bored or confused, four of your favorite people (okay, three favorites and yours truly) are heading down to Mesa, Arizona to check out the latest craptastic version of your Chicago Cubs. Since I am such a tool, I decided that it would be fun to create a blog of our adventure. Sounds great, right?

(waiting)

Ok, for those of you still reading (Mom, thanks for the support), the plan is to send back updates of what we see and do during our five days of being around the "greatest" team in baseball. I don't know what the posts will entail exactly, but I hope to include some photos and video and (fingers crossed) an extensive interview with Ronny Woo Woo. Obviously, most of the interesting/exciting/embarassing stuff will probably have nothing to do with the Cubs, but I will try pass that along as well. Awesome, eh?

(crickets)

It's gonna be a "work" in progress, so bear with me. Hopefully, I will get the other guys (Marty, Mackie and Patrick) to post as well, so you won't have to suffer through boring posts like this one everytime.

Anyhoo, since this is the first post, I thought we'd start with a little reader participation. I may or may not run into a player or two down there and I want to be prepared to ask them hard-hitting questions from true Cubs fans. I've got a few in mind, but feel free to leave any you may have in comments and we'll try to get them answered.

Go Cubs.
