Playoffs
When last I mentioned the Cubs in June, they had just crossed the .500 mark and were slowly creeping up on the division dominating Brewers. As a superstitious Cubs fan, even mentioning that little positive moment ran the risk of derailing the rest of the season and plunging them into dead last (knock on wood, pinch of salt over the shoulder). But, those bolts from baseball heaven never materialized and confident that my words carry no jinxes, I am happy to announce that the Chicago Cubs clinched the NL Central Division today. With a regular season record of 85-77, the Cubs finished 2 games ahead of the afore-mentioned Brewers in the lowest rated division of the 2007 season. But who cares about that because, ladies and gentlemen, we have a postseason. On Wednesday, the Cubs will head off to Arizona to begin their best of five game series against the Diamondbacks. I should say, may the best team win but, screw that... Go Cubbies!
