Pushin for the playoffs.

I started laughing my ass off yesterday when I heard that the Cubs had won 14 in a row. I'm not sure why, there is reason to believe that they're not a laughing matter these days. But still, how can you contain your smile when this is happening?

Remembering back to the days in Black and Gold in Columbia, it would be right about now that the Cubbie hats would start appearing by the dozen in every classroom. Only to be shamefully discarded to the back of the closet come "let-down" October.

True, Chicago will be tough to catch at this point. But with the Cardinals in the mix of the Wild Card show and three former aces looking to get comfy amidst our rotation within the coming months, I still have good feelings about this team finding its way into the postseason.

We need some hard bonding glue while Pujols is riding pine. But if we can keep it together for a while, Tony will get his backup platoon ready to ride. And we all know what happens when 83 win Cardinal teams get into the playoffs...

We pound the lead out of the Mets.
