CUBS WIN FIRST PLAYOFF GAME AGAINST THE GIANTS

For the first time in decades, the Cubs won a playoff game without giving up a run.  The San Francisco Giants and the Chicago Cubs showed incredible pitching tonight and this is going to be a hard fought series.  Indeed, I was hoping that my Cubs would face the Mets.  (I am equally concerned about facing the Los Angeles Dodgers down the road).  However, for all Chicagoans, it was a sweet start to the series.

The Giants will face the Cubs again on Saturday in another pitcher’s duel.  The Giants were a tough team to pull in the first round, but as Friedrich Nietzsche said, what does not kill us makes us stronger . . . even giants.
