What now?

The Diamondbacks are one step closer to knocking my beloved Cubbies from postseason play, now that they're sporting a 2-0 lead in the whole affair.

Man, I thought that the Cubs would at least be ready to take it to Arizona early but much to the D-Backs' credit this hasn't happened. Hopefully the next game things will turn around; if not, the Cubbies are going to be calling it a season. Folks, I had 'em headed for the World Series but then again countless others besides myself are feeling the same way: What is up with Chicago?

It'll take another game to find out but from the looks of things, the D-Backs are firing on all cylinders, reminding us of the olden days when they had Randy Johnson on the mound & plenty of hitting firepower to back him up. The youthful ballclub which they are, Arizona is playing as if they're on a mission, knowing the pitfalls of overlooking their first opponent or taking them too lightly. As for the Cubs, they're running out of time to get back up on their feet & make this a series.

Game 3 is now or never & winner takes all; here's hoping that Chicago's fortunes change in short order.
