Cubs' Dempster predicts end to World Series drought


As pitchers and catchers get set to report to their respective camps tomorrow, it brings new found confidence to a lot of players.


One of those players is Cubs' right-hander Ryan Dempster. As he showed up to their facility this morning, Dempster made a bold prediction, "I think we are going to win the World Series, I really do." A bold prediction coming from a team who was swept in 3 games by the NL West Champion Arizona Diamondbacks.


If you fans remember correctly, it was Carlos Zambrano who guaranteed a World Series for the Cubs in 2007 and, although Dempster isn't making any guarantees, he says confidence isn't a bad thing, "I wouldn't show up here and work as hard as I did and everybody work as hard as they did to not believe that."
