Yes you are right they are the hottest team in basball. They at least can hit the ball, but if I understand it, the cubs and or SF win 4 in a row the Astros can not win, since they only have 3 games left. Well, its not likely since the cubs cant hit the broad side of a barn. I guess I look at it this way. The Cubs tried very hard to do their best under a years worth of injuires and still hung on to the end. I'm not making excuses for them, but they have some work ahead to do for next year and this is good for them to faulter because next year the fans expectations wont be as great. That what happen this year. The media played them up since January the team to beat and we never had the full starting team the entire year.
