I'll be up too late again watching. Who knows if it will happen again in my lifetime? The Cubs DO have a young team and all, but it's hard to get to the WS in the best of times.

The math on this is fun. It was 6 out of like 47, and if you assume every game in a best of seven is a coin flip, what are the odds of getting that same result 3 in a row? 12.5% right? What's 6 out of 47? Just over 13%. Playoffs are a coin flip.
