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.
