Yes! It's true! The long suffering Chicago Cubs are in the playoffs. Tonight they will play the Pittsburgh Pirates to see who will move on to the National League Division Series. It is a one game playoff, and so the Cubs will have only one shot to move on. Considering that the Cubs have not been in a World Series since 1945, they have history solidly against them. Of course, the Cubs are Chicago's North Side team, and I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, which is White Sox territory. Naturally, there is a friendly - and sometimes not so friendly - rivalry between the two teams and it's fans, but during the postseason we Chicago baseball fans put aside our differences and root for the home team. But my advice is still not to bet the farm on the Cubs.
