A Little Eery

NLCS is over, and no, the Cubs did not finally defeat their demons and get into a World Series. They haven't been in one since 1945, and haven't won one since 1908.

Interesting, because there was a movie in the 80s that almost called this.

It was one of the many jokes thrown into the future segment of Back to the Future II. The Cubs swept Miami (which didn't even have a baseball team at the time) in the world series.

Well, it's now the same year as that movie's future segment, and even the same day of that year of the movie's future segment. There was a sweep that involved the Cubs, only they were the ones swept out. Poor Cubbies. Back to the Future was at least close.
