Actually, upon further review, it doesn't matter. If you're a Cubs fan (or began as one like me), this showdown against the Mets is going back to the future in a splendid way.
This time, the Cubs will turn "1908" into just another number. I'll say it: They are heading to the World Series.
I can't believe I said that. Here we are, 46 years later, and the bulk of the Cubs fans still haven't recovered from those mostly no-name guys from New York shattering our ivy-covered dreams. They turned the North Siders' sprint to the National League East title, NL pennant and World Series championship into a nightmare that kept repeating itself in different ways over the next few seasons.
