The Chicago Cubs season could not have gone any better

Let me first say that I am not a Cubs fan. I wouldn't say my dislike is enough to call me a Cubs Hater, but I dislike them.

That said, I was rooting for them this regular season. That's because back in very early June, when the Cubs were 7 games under .500 and 6.5 GB of the Milwaukee Brewers, I made the prediction that they would win the NL Central. Joe from The Sports Flow called this "a reach", (by the way, he still hasn't paid me my $5!), but at the end of the season, it was the Cubs on top of the NL Central, making my bold prediction come true.

So I was happy about that. Then, I went back to cheering against them in the playoffs... where they were promptly swept. Life is good.

Why hate the Cubs? So innocent and harmless.

Go Angels!

Yeah, the Angels didn't fare well either, Joey. As for the Cubbies, I agree with Jon; I don't think anyone from the NL Central would have made it out of the first round.

Cubs were this year's tallest midget of the NL Central. All year I said they just weren't that good of a ballclub. That was made evident by the complete domination handed to them by the Dbacks.
