Assuming the Cubs will go deep in the playoffs

[stlouie_lipp]

They probably will because they do have the best team in the NL Central.

BUT, is anyone else as sick and tired as I am of all the October talk already? (those who live in the Chicago market will know what I'm talking about here) It's May and a few injuries or bad pitching could change everything. On top of that, just because it's been 100 years doesn't make this season a winning destiny.

Chicago Cubs
Some experts are picking the Cubs to win the World Series, as though the fact that this is the 100th anniversary of their last title means it is destiny. Whereas I feel that this season being their first through 99th anniversaries of not winning a World Series holds more weight.

I keep getting horrible images of Jimmy in a cubs half shirt dousing Zambrano with champagne.

Meh. Predicting the Cubs to win the Series is fashionable, but who honestly can predict what transpires in the short season known as the playoffs? Barring injury, I have little doubt the Cubs win the Central. How they will fare in the playoffs is a crapshoot, IMO.

That's what I mean. (and I changed the title a bit)

If the Cards go 64-52 the rest of the way and make the playoffs, I don't care what the Cubs do.
