If you haven't paid attention to the Cubs, it's not that surprising. Arrieta is so totally ridiculous it isn't even funny. He's made every team he's pitched against in the last 2-3 months look terrible. And we're on fire. It's something like 47-19 for the second half of the season? Those can't be the right numbers because it adds up to too many, but it's something like that. We probably won't look that good when Arrieta isn't pitching, though.
Hopefully we hold out against the Cards. I'm rooting for a sweep since I'm going to Game 3. :) I mean, I'd root for a sweep, anyway. But it'd be nice to be there for moving on to the NLCS.
I want the Rangers, Astros, Cubs, and Mets. Rangers because they've never won, Astros because I always liked them, Cubs because obviously, and Mets because I'd rather meet them in the NLCS than the Dodgers.
Obviously the Cubs aren't my team so I mainly only paid attention to the standings and since they were third in an admittedly (and obviously) really good division I hadn't expected that to lead to such a dominant performance in the WC game. And since my team pretty much lost to everyone this year (literally, they had a winning record against exactly one team) it's hard to judge another team's quality by how they played against my guys.
Have fun at the game whatever happens, I'm envious of getting to go (figured it would be too hard to get tickets to justify the 12 hr drive to KC even if we could crash with my aunt).
