I admit that I'm less of a fan of baseball than I used to be, and I don't pay a heck of a lot of attention to it anymore since the player strike and free agency.
I do attend Astro games when somebody else buys the tickets (It is a fabulous stadium).
I would like to see the Cubs in the playoffs. Even fans of other teams kinda have the Cubs as a sentimental second choice.
I'd love to see the Cubs in the playoffs just to see what dreadful mishap would befall them.
Let's face it, Steve Bartman and that eighth inning last year was pretty darn entertaining.
I agree totally. There are many fans of baseball that want to see the Cubs in the series. I'm a Yankee fan (grew up in NYC) but live (survive) in Boston. And I'd prefer the Cubs to the Redsux anytime. I remember guys like Ernie Banks and Ron Santos.
