Kids Say the Darndest Things


 For an Ivy Leaguer (Dartmouth), Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks sure sounded dumb in the Trib this morning when he said the team doesn’t want to be like the Cardinals, who came back from a 5-0 1st inning deficit against the North Siders to win 10-9 and post a best-ever 19-6 start to the season.

“We’re not going to try to copy the Cardinals,” said Hendricks.  “We’ve got our own unique personalities around here, and it’s been successful so far.”  Oh, really, as in zero World Series championships in the past 106 years and only one Series’ appearance in the last 70?  Kyle, the Cardinals have made 19 Series’ appearances, winning 11 times.  Anyone born since the last time the Cards won the World Series (2011) would be too young for kindergarten.  Anyone born since the last time the Cubs won, well, they’re either very, very old or dead.  Just this once, be a copycat.
