You should hear what they're saying in Chicago right now. They are acting like this is going to be a cake walk for the Cubs.....especially if they get past tonight...

This is the same cub squad that struggled to stay above .500 in the worst division...

Steve Stone is a bonehead

No one in the media is giving us a chance. We don't deserve to be here. We like being the underdog. It suits this D-Back team to a T.

It is funny didn't the Dbacks have the best record in NL?

I think people are misreading the St. Louis champ last year. That team had been together in the playoffs a long time. This Cub team while dangerous is NOT that team from last year.

The Dbacks cannot let Soriano or Amamorous Ramourous (Cub 3b) beat them.

Also, Ryan Dempster is terrible. Outside Marmol and Howry, the Dbacks have a way better bullpen. If the Dbacks stop Soriano and A.R. their bullpen should make the difference in the series.

Yep, 90 wins topped the NL.

In the city with the most knoweldgeable sports fans (Gee knows what I'm talking about!), they are actually saying the complete opposite... Many "experts" on the sports scene there are picking the D-backs to either make it to the series, or at minimum go to the NL finals... They, like most knowledgeable fans know that in the post season, it's all about pitching and defense. And there is no other NL team that matches the D-backs in these categories...

Let them think it will be a cake walk. That will just make it even more disappointing for them when the D-Backs win the series :)
