Cubs on the new cover of Sports Illustrated

The Cubs are the hottest club in major league baseball with a 24-6 record which is the team's best 30-game start since 1907 and currently on an impressive seven-game winning streak.

Now, they are on the cover of the May 16th's regional cover of Sports Illustrated. The title of the magazine cover says JUST MAYBE...RIGHT?

The teaser says Charles P. Pierce on the Last Great American Sports Story (Cubs winning it all). An excerpt from Pierce's column: "You can’t beat the Chicago Cubs now. You can't even hope to contain them. You can put them in pink shoes, in honor of Mother's Day. They’ll beat you. You can make them swing that big pink lumber. They’ll beat you."
