The Morning After

A few stats about the Cubs from Sportscenter.

Since the last time the Cubs won a postseason series, the following things have occurred.

4 states added? Nena's hometown wasn't in the union last time the Cubs won a postseason series, how insane is that?

Next round, a team the Cubs have never faced in the playoffs. In the AL, all three teams left are ones that have beaten the Cubs in the World Series. If the Cubs get past the Marlins (and that's a BIG if) they get to avenge either the 1918 WS loss to the RedSox, the 1938 & 1932 losses to the Yankees or the 1929 & 1910 losses to the A's. Yup, lots of payback could come in the World Series. . .but in order to continue sagas that have been on hold for 92-65 years, they need to start a brand new one.
