espn's EARLY power rankings

26. Chicago Cubs
You could make the case that Ryan Dempster's brash prediction that the Cubs will win the World Series signals a new era in Chicago. You could say it's refreshing to hear a guy so unafraid of curses and media backlash. You could claim this kind of unapologetic confidence is just what the Cubs require to make good on the promise of their bulging payroll. You could. But you'd be a sucker if you did.


26???

I know I figured that out after I saw Sox at 5, and of course I read the Benson caption. How could you not, your eyes are instantly directed to the picture.
