I really hope the Cubs make it. They're on the inside track right now, but barely. I can say quite confidently that if the Cubs were to win the World Series, it would be the happiest moment of my life, and probably the most significant sports story of the century. Yeah, the Red Sox have won, but they have been competitors way more over the years since 1970. The Cubs were in the playoffs only in '84 (blew it on the pre-Buckner Leon Durham through the legs error), '89 (lost to better team), '98 (lucky to be there), and '03 (Bartman). The '04 Cubs were a better team but they choked away a 2 1/2 game lead in something like the last five days of the season. The '07 team has underperformed considerably but anybody could put together a good run in the playoffs.
