Welcome back to the playoffs Cubs! So the last time the Cubs were in the playoffs, things didn't go all that well. But this year, we're guaranteed at least two Cubs playoff games this year rather than one, so that's good. I have to say, I really feel bad for ESPN because I have no idea what storylines they're going to talk about during these games since the Cubs and Marlins have no prior playoff history for them to talk about. I'm going to assume that the Cubs are going to start Darvish but nothing has been announced so I'll update the thread title when things are official. Four years ago, going with some old fashioned Fred stats seemed to work well for me so I'll go back to that well. CUBS are 34-26 CUBS are 17-13 at home (19-14 if you count the three Cards games at Wrigley where the Cubs were the road team as home games) CUBS are 0-0 against the Marlins this year CUBS are 111-102 against the Marlins all-time CUBS are 7-5 when Hendricks starts CUBS are 5-5 on Wednesdays GO CUBS!!!!
