Not holding my breath.

9 out of 17 prognosticators from ESPN.com have picked the Cubs to go to the World Series. Including several who believe it will be the Cubs and Red Sox.

As I told my father last year when he asked me what I would do if the Cubs and Red Sox played each other in the World Series:

"I'll play my fiddle while Rome burns."

Only 6 picked the White Sox to even make the post-season.

Baseball. It tries so hard to fill that horrible 4 months between hockey playoffs and opening day.
