One other thing the article mentions celebrating during "series clinching games" I would be very careful if I'm a Chicago fan, the baseball gods don't exactly like talk like that. I seem to recall one Ron Santo back in 2003. Sidenote about Ron Santo, it's an absolute shame that he is not in the Hall of Fame. And I feel terrible about what has happened to him since with losing his legs. But he is a terrible terrible announcer. Anyway back to 2003 I remember Santo saying that he'll be broadcasting next during the World Series. That is poking a finger in the eye of the baseball gods, they were not amused and they won't be amused by "series clinching games" I'm just saying.

Originally Posted By Fe Maiden I'd like to thank the Cubs for last night also, I can't complain when the Phils get blown out and still lower their magic number. I should want the Mets to win the wildcard so we'd play LA in the first round rather than the Cubs, but I just can't bring myself to root for them. Here's my rooting rundown: Thursday: Go Cubs! Go Brewers! Weekend: Go Phils! (obviously) screw the Cubs, Go Brewers!, Go Marlins! See you in the playoffs. Hopefully.
