Red-Hot Red-Hots

The Cubs are still winning In fact, they're red-hot Out of 17 games, they've won quite a lot Out in L.A., they took five out of six even for a great team, a very good trick Let's trust that a hot start in April doesn't lead to a fade in May or that proverbial swoon in June -- Leaving fans fuming come dog-days of August ________________________________________ 'Red-hots' refer to hotdogs sold by vendors at the ballpark: "Red-hots, red-hots: Get your red-hots here! Wash 'em down with a beer!" ... 'Red-hot,' of course, refers to a team playing well and winning.

Alas, Gershon, you are the ultimate Cubs fan....unable to enjoy the present for fear of the future......I remember when the Red Sox were like that....as a kid in the 50's if they won the opener....we'd frame the stat sheet in the Boston Herald
