I was starting to wonder if it was my fault.
NO!
The young Cubs have surprised most fans (including me) by being this good this soon. Everything seems to be falling into place.
Of course it could all come crashing down on October 7. But that is a week and a half away. I'm not going to worry about it........ yet.
Congratulations to the Cubs, and congratulations on the breaking of the Wrigley Wax Curse.
ReplyDeleteAs a Mets fan, I wonder whether the Cubs or Mets has a greater percentage of stunned fans who are still trying to process the concept of their team in the playoffs (spoken from experience).
glad to see the cubs return to the postseason. i still remember james loney's grand slam like it was yesterday…
ReplyDeletelet the record show that the dodgers failed to get out of the nlcs three times during the years that i was posting at gcrl. maybe this year will be different - assuming they ever clinch a spot...
Congrats! Assuming the Dodgers don't miraculously lose the rest of their games this season, the Cubs have my vote.
