The Cubs are hosting the NLCS, against the only team in the NL playoffs less likely to have made it there than them, the Florida Marlins. On the downside, I suppose, we won't be treated to an endless parade of Moises v. Felipe or Dusty 2003 v. Dusty 2002 stories. On the plus side, the Cubs and Marlins are two teams with great young pitching, they were both effectively wild card entries into the playoffs, and they have both arguably overachieved to get there.
And, praise be to all good spirits, I won't have to listen to that godawful chant out of the Atlanta fans. It took all of a month for me to want to kill the rally monkey from Anaheim--the Chant has been going for 12 horrible years.
Now if the BoSox can just hold up (umm...I mean cowboy up?) their end of the bargain and take the As tomorrow and the Yankees after that...
