To my defense that prediction included Beanie Wells starting. Anyway, if the Cubs win the Series it is definitely Wrigged. But this isn't the NBA.

Someone predicting that the Cubs will actually win the World Series. I will say this: I think they have a chance, and it could be a long time before they have a chance this good. As you said, if their pitching holds up, they could make a deep run. Watch out for the White Sox in round 1. They have momentum now, a lot of experienced players, and the Rays' players are all newbies who haven't dealt with playoff pressure before. If the White Sox can steal one in Tampa, I think it will be hard for the Rays to come into Chicago and win at Comiskey. I see the White Sox winning the first round series in 4. Nice season for the Rays, and they'll be back next season and for many to come...but not this year. I can’t believe I allowed this to be posted to the blog.
