Cubs take their good pitchers and turn them to garbage, the Cardinals take garbage pitchers and turn them into good ones. Cubs fall apart in seasons they should win, Cardinals are mysteriously winning when they have no business doing it. Cubs get swept out by a team with no business being in the playoffs (negative run differential?), Cardinals win the World Series with a team that has no busines being in the playoffs. I really wish I had been born 50 miles southwest of where I was.
