The Cubs broke their nine-game postseason losing streak behind the strong arm of Jake Arrieta, and head to St. Louis for the first-ever Cubs/Cardinals playoff series.... just like we dreamed it.
PITTSBURGH -- Pause just for a moment this morning and look at your surroundings. Find a piece of Cubs memorabilia or clothing to look at (and don't say you don't have one within six feet of you, of course you do). And understand that what you saw Wednesday night, the Cubs' 4-0 National League wild-card win over the Pirates, began to slay many of the postseason dragons that have breathed baseball fire at us for.
