For crissakes you won the division last year and lost 3 strraight playoff games and went home. You play how many more games this year against the Bucks and Cards? You finish with 16 out of 22 road games. I wouldn't be thinking its a done deal that you will be raising that WS trophy at Wrigley yet pal.

Oh, I certainly don't...
Look at the Cardinals of a few years ago...83 regular season wins...and they get hot and win the World Series...
It's all about being hot at the right time...the Cubs have the best team but I don't give them any more of a 25% shot of winning the World Series this year...the one thing I hate about baseball that cannot be fixed...the best team usually doesn't end up winning the World Series...
In the NBA, the best team almost always win...not quite the same with the NFL, but close. In baseball, all you have to do is get to the postseason and if your pitching is hot, you have a damn good chance of winning it all.
