The Cubs are in the playoff and have a decent shot at going to the World Series. I've had four days to digest that information and I'm not sure it's set in. Like most Cubs fans, I plan to enjoy the hell out of however many games this lasts.
Thanks to Lou Piniella, some decent bats, and an advantage in the experience department I like the Cubs chances in this series against a young team. Webb will be tough tomorrow night. Let's see what the experts are saying...
Nate Silver (Baseball Prospectus): Cubs in 3
Peter Gammons (ESPN): Cubs in 4
Jayson Stark (ESPN): Cubs in 5
Steve Phillips (ESPN): Cubs in 4 (doh!)
Tim Kurkjian (ESPN): Cubs in 5
Tom Verducci (SI): Cubs in 5
Jeff Passan (Yahoo!): Cubs in 5
(p.s. to all other playoff teams: be weary of the Ex-Cub Factor)
What's your prediction?
