The Cubs have not made the World Series since 1945 and have not won the World Series since 1908. But Cubs fans always hope and continue to hope that the day will come when they will win the World Series again. Perhaps 2010 will be the year, 102 years after they last won it. If not, there's always "wait till next year".
No. The Tigers finished with a record of 88-74 which was 8 games behind the Central Division winners, the Cleveland Indians, and 6 games behind the New York Yankees who won the wild card playoff spot.
Yes, the Detroit Tigers are a very good Baseball team. The Detroit Tigers have one of the richer histories in baseball. The Tigers have won 4 World Series Championships (1935, 1945, 1968, 1984) and 10 American League pennants (1907, 1908, 1909, 1934, 1935, 1940, 1945, 1968, 1984, 2006). The Tigers have several Hall of Famers and players that will be named to the Hall of Fame in years to come. The Tigers played at historic Tiger Stadium from the start of their franchise up until the end of the 1999 season. In 2000, the Tigers moved to beautiful Comerica Park. Comerica Park is one of the best ballparks in baseball and has many state-of-the-art amenities and luxury suites and clubs. The Tigers fill Comerica Park almost every night due to their success. Since the Tigers made it to the World Series in 2006, they have been contenders in the American League. Today's stars include pitching ace Justin Verlander and shut-down closing pitcher Jose Valverde. The Tigers also have power hitter Miguel Cabrera, who is on track to win the first triple crown (leads the league in HRs, Batting Average, and RBIs) in 40+ years. The Tigers have several other great players and are again in contention to go to and go deep in the playoffs, potentially winning a 5th World Series title.

Using my magic crystal ball, I predict that the White Sox will not win the world series. They will get down to the final game, and then will spontaneously combust. They will burn to cinders before the fire trucks can get onto the field to put them out. This will be a national tragedy, and we will declare National White Sox Day a bank holiday from then on.
