The time is now...

It's here finally. We've waited for this. It's been a grueling season. I want to write a tearful piece, but will instead to refer you to Al's piece today at Bleed Cubbie Blue. He says it right. There is a hole in my life and I know it's in yours too (if you are a Cubs fan). And when we win it will be spectacular. (Normally never use we when I say a sports team, but the Cubs are the only team I allow myself to do that with).

So let's cut the music and get right to the predictions:

American League
Angels over Red Sox in 4: Too many health issues for Sox.
Rays over White Sox in 5: Young Rays have just enough to be weary, aging Sox.
ALCS: Angels over Rays in 5: No way Tampa is ready.

National League
Phillies over Brewers in 4: Brewers can't get to CC in game 5
Cubs over Dodgers in 3: Sweep.
NLCS: Cubs over Phillies in 6: Game 6 in Wrigley and we roll on. Lilly comes up big for us.

World Series
Cubs over Angels in 5: The World Series always gets over quick these days. The Cubs will have momentum and shock the world. Believe.

See you tonight!
