Plenty thought the same last year about the Cubs I don't agree. I remember fans of the Mets, Phillies, and Dodgers all hoping to draw the Cubs towards the end of the season. I think it's because despite having several good hitters and pitchers, there are none that really people stay up at night worying about. Of course most fans are idiots. I didn't say "all" or even "most". I get the idea behind some thinking the Phils are invincible, but it's baseball (or even life in general)...the "best" team doesn't always win. Can you really see the Cubs getting by the Phillies? We have enough trouble hitting in the playoffs anyway, but going up against Lee and Hamels with that offense that shelled our best pitcher this year already is just scary.
