It is a glorious October day, and I can relax knowing that the Chicago Cubs are here to play another day. It hasn't been pretty, but we have arrived in the post season ready to vanquish the Goat for which this blog is named.
I can only relax for a day however; tomorrow begins the madness. In a weak NL, it appears that the Cubs are the most complete team, and should have a good shot at appearing in their first World Series since 1945. But it is the same Chicago Cubs franchise who boasted a 3-2 lead going into game six of the 2003 NLDS with Prior and Wood to start games 6 and 7: a virtual lock. What we have now is not near a 'virtual lock' yet we must try to climb the mountain again. Maybe Lou Piniella has what it takes to fire this thing into the Series, but tomorrow I will put down my lemonade and grab a beer. It's going to be a wild ride!
