Cubs versus Cards: who ya got & why
- Thread starter Good Knight Sweetheart
- Start date
Never going to give up on my Cardinals. Cubs are hot though, and the Cards are hurt. Will be a fun series.
Cardinals.
Because that's what STL does. The Cubs are called loveable losers for a reason.
Fun fact: this is the first time EVER for STL to meet Chicago in the playoffs. Probably because Chicago is only in the playoffs once every 20 years.

The cubs have Arrietta, who will probably give them at least two wins. It really depends on how the ball falls. Playoffs are a crapshoot. I think the Cards have the better 2 and 3 pitchers. That could be the difference. I'll go Cards because JHey is one of my favorite players. I don't like the Cards, though and I'm glad Maddon's clipboard can't be hacked.
I don't have a dog in the fight (sorry PETA), but I have to go with the Cubs for all of the reasons already noted, plus I still love Joe Maddon. And I won't root for STL because of Mark McGwire and the following articles:

The only thing worse than a Cards fan is a USF fan.
Learn it. Know it. Live it.
Gotta go with the Cubbies, just based on family fandom.
My dad still has a 1984 NL East Champions bottle of champagne that he will not open until they win the World Series. In case you don't know 1984 was the first time the Cubs made the postseason since 1945, the went up 2-0 in NLCS over San Diego and lost the series 3-2. My dad has been a lifelong fan so gotta hope they win it once in his lifetime. 2003 was the last time he even pulled it out, but we all know how that went.
