The hype over the Cubs here long passed ridiculous levels. After the one-game WC win, local reporters were out on the streets asking Cubs fans if "they had been waiting their whole lives to see the Cubs get this far." The Cubs were in the NLDS in 2007 and 2008 and the NLCS in 2003. Unless they were 6 years old or younger, they would not have been waiting their entire lives for the Cubs to get to game 1 of the NLDS.
