Coming up: 100 years since the Cubs won a World Series

The Arizona Diamondbacks have become the first team to advance to their Championship Series, completing their sweep of the Chicago Cubs.  Since Arizona finished with the best record in the National League this season, they know that they will face the winner of the Phillies/Rockies series at home in Phoenix on Thursday and Friday.

My heart goes out to Cubs fans, who will have to again say "Maybe next year," which will  be the 100th anniversary of the start of The Curse of the Billy Goat.

With Boston, Cleveland, and Colorado all up 2-0 in their respective series, the first round of this year's playoffs might go quickly.  Go Sox!  Spank the Rally Monkey!

Update: WTF?  The lights are off in Colorado!  The dumb thing?  Only the lights went out!  The scoreboard and smaller scoreboards around the field are still on!

~~The lights went out here because of a computer error!  There was no power outage at all.

Cubs, could you please win something ... I'm sick of listening to your crying masses. By the way, White Sox still last team in Chicago to win a World Series. Just throwing that out there.
