As a Giants fan, I congratulate the Cubs.

2. Thanks.

First thing tomorrow morning, the Giants should release the entire bullpen and start over. All of them. There is no possible way that any of them could ever improve in any future season.

And I'll root for the Cubs, with a somewhat heavy heart, against whoever wins the other NLDS matchup(I definitely want to see four "W"s in that series if they end up playing the Dodgers). After this playoff, they deserve to finally win the damn pennant. If they do, the Cubs management should make the first Series game played at Wrigley "Goat Day"...bring in a goat in a case, offer an apology for any living descendants of Billy Sianis for ever making him and his goat leave that game against the Tigers, get somebody from the Roma community to officially lift the curst, and have a contest for "best goat costume" among the fans. I'm a little surprised that the Cubs owners haven't ever admitted the goat ban was wrong after all the grief it has caused them.
