Red Line to Wrigley: April 25

Motto Madness

By: Dan Biederman

??????

Those of you who live in the Chicago-area may have heard that Mayor Daley recently suggested that the city’s motto be changed from Urbs in Horto (“City in a Garden”) to “City of Children.” That got me thinking: What’s a good motto for the Cubs?

Of course, there’s an obvious, hackneyed “Lovable Losers,” but what about some others?

How about, “The Chicago Cubs: Letting fans down since 1908.”

Or, “The Chicago Cubs: OK, this really isn’t funny any more.”?

Post your suggestions for mottoes -funny or serious- in the comments section, and I’ll repost the best ones in a few weeks.
