Are We There Yet?

To our regularly scheduled programming.

Ok, so my blog turned in to an all Cubs 24/7 affair during their playoff run. But it's over now. The better team won and will go on to play the Red Sox / Yankees in the World Series. Best of luck to the Marlins.

What have we learned here?

1. Steve Bartman did nothing to ruin the Cubs chances two nights ago. Let it go.
2. Dusty Baker may be a genius when it comes to pinch hitters and motivating players, but it seems he decides to pull his starters one inning (and 3-5 runs) after the rest of us knew he was done.
3. The Cubs have a lot of decisions to make this off season. There's a lot of players who's contracts are up. It'll be interesting to see what MacPhail, Hendry, an Co. do this off season.

I'll probably create another blog (I love Movable Type) to track the Cubs. Whenever I get the time to create it, that is. That'll keep my main blog free of the "clutter" that Cubbies fans don't want to read while keeping the sports stuff away from the geeks.

[UPDATE]: See http://www.futureviperowner.com/cubs/ . I've moved all baseball / Cubs blog content to this blog now.
