It's hard not to believe this year. In the past 30 some years wev'e had several "100 year" floods (including the one we're experiencing right now.) So now we have the "100 year" Cubs, and thy're looking awful good. If it were up to the script writers, the Cubs would be home free. However, this is the real baseball world, and even Cub fans realize that it's a tough road ahead. But they've got a lot of people pulling for them right now, including me, a lifelong Cardinals fan.
