CINCINNATI — After four months of clawing out, crawling back and maybe even fighting off a little history near the end, the Cubs finally popped their cork Friday night in Cincinnati.
But hey, go Cubbies! And let's try not to think about the goat.
The late, great Mike Royko used to predict the World Series by calculating what he called the Cubness factor of each team and picking the team employing the fewest ex-Cubs to win. He was almost always right, even in a few cases all the "experts" picked the other team. Of course it's still a long way to the Series. But who knows? And the way I figure it, the Cubs aren't ex-Cubs yet.
