Tall Tales: Three Myths Of The 2011 Cubs

Hype is a dangerous thing.

Nothing good comes from it. Few players in modern sports ever live up to the hype that the media circus can create. Out of these unjust expectations, disappointment looms large.

Cubs fans know a lot about the hype process. All of the "This is the Year!" signs cast aside on the streets of Wrigleyville will vouch for this.

I'm writing this article to simply clear up the most prevalent myths pertaining to this upcoming Cubs season. These are things that have spread across the Internet or reside with the comic stylings of what they "report" on Comcast Sportsnet. (If you can watch more than 15 minutes of their coverage without cringing, more power to you).

These are three misconceptions I thought deserved to be cleared up before the season begins.
