For the first time in a 100 years back to back postseason trips.

This is the Year of the CUBS!!!!!!

Uhh, no, Cubfan. Once again, you are an idiot.

Cubs' postseason appearances
5 playoff appearances since 1980
8 World Series appearances since 1900
but yeah, ZERO World Series titles since forever.

Please, don't start up with the Cardinals/Cubs bullshit. We own you in every sense. We have a better stadium, a better history, better fans, and Stan Musial would beat the shit out of Ernie Banks any time he got the chance.

Let's Play Two = Let's Lose Two.

Burg's postseason predictions:

Lou Pinella has a conniption, followed by a massive coronary, in Game 5 of first round versus the Wild Card winner out of the NL East, the New Yawk Mets, which the cubs LOSE 10-9 in 15 innings. Meanwhile the Dodgers, with NO hitting, shut down the Phillies and sweep them, while Joe Torre, the Anti-Pinella Sleeps throught the entire series. Ryan Howard strikes out 11 times in the 3 games, and has his Subway Endorsement deal revoked. The Dodgers THEN sweep the Mets, allowing Joe Torre to give a Big "FUCK YOU" to the City of New York and The New York Jankity JANKEEs.

Over in the American League, this is the year of the Angels. NO one else is worth mentioning as a potential winner.

I think it would have been most entertaining to have watched what Pinella's reaction would have been had the Bartman game happened while he was managing. I'm guessing it would have involved yellow and black crime scene tape and a SWAT team.
