A mere 14 years. But this year, they will win 11 so that’ll help balance things out. ---

Didn’t the Cubs win a playoff game in 1998? 3-1 against Atlanta, if I remember right. And I would say we have a better chance at beating the Giants than we do the Braves. Which, we have a very good shot at both of them. ---

Well here we go. Wow! A sell-out at Turner?? Must be all those Chicago-ians filling up the stands. Can I just say how awesome it would be to have the Twins knock out the Yanks in the first round? I wouldn’t have even considered it until todays Minnesota victory. Kick their ass Twinnies!! ---

OK couldn’t take advantage of a lead-off hit. And what was Lofton stealing for? Let Sammy see those 3-0 and 3-1 pitches. Wood is overthrowing, he needs to settle down. But the slider is working. Let’s go Cubbies ---

I just heard that the Cubs hadn’t won a postseason game since game 3 of the 1945 World Series. Bwahahahahaha! They suck! 😃 ---

They suck! 😃 \*\* Guess what? You’re wrong. And you would have been wrong 60 minutes ago, too. (Now if you had said that the Cubs have not won an _away_ post season game since 1945, you’d’ve been right when you wrote this. But you’d be wrong now. Wrong wrong wrong! Bwahahahahaha!) ---

Stupid Atlanta will likely stomp all over the poor little Cubbies, allowing Chicagoans to go back to their normal depressed selves, just in time for the long dark Midwestern winter. > > \*\* Some stomping. Guess those tomahawks can’t do much against our Wood. (I’m going to remember the thousands of Cub fans who made it to _Atlanta_ (with 3 days’ notice) mocking the T-chop with their blue Cubs caps for a long, long time. If you can’t sell out your home stadium for a fuckin’ playoff game, you don’t deserve to be there.) ---

No wonder we haven’t heard from **Unca Cece** on the boards since [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=202020](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=202020) What is that nearly two months?

Thanks, **T-K**. Now I’m off to reward my favorite Brewers’ fan. If that doesn’t work, I’ll need to figure out some other way of coming down tonight so I can sleep. ---

So how’d the Braves bashing work for you in Game 2 there **Random**? Gee I wish I could think of something to rag on the Cubs about. Hmmmmm. I’m sure there must be something. No, you know what? I don’t like shooting fish in a barrel - there’s no sport in it. ---
