There hasn't been a melt-down like that since the Cubs were in the LCS.

That was one of the most pathetic displays I have seen. And in 25 years of Cubfandom, I have seen some pathetic displays.

On the plus side, I won't have to worry about changing my license plate.

It's not like the Dbacks are THAT much better than the Cubs. They only won five more games this year. The Cubs could have done that if Zambrano had taken Barrett out for a beating in April instead of June. It would just be nice if it looked like they were at least trying.

The Cubs are, um, in the playoffs?

Yes, it's true. The Cubs have, uh, won the NL Central and are actually going to play in October (and not in a terrorist-attack-extended season). No, I can't believe it either. Right now I don't feel in a position to predict the outcomes of any of the games, or the series. But I do believe that it will go to five games, and Derrek Lee will not let a ball go through his legs ala Durham/Buckner.
