Love this quote:

“The Milwaukee Brewers have a 260-pound slugger and a 250-pound pitching ace (or at least that’s how Prince Fielder and CC Sabathia are listed), which makes them an inspiration for those of us on the South Beach Diet dying for one ice cream sundae.”

the best part:

The team at the heart of this thing probably will be the Chicago Cubs. They have won nine regular-season series in a row for the first time since 1907, which you probably noticed is one year before 1908. They’ve got the ferocious manager Lou Piniella, they’ve got the National League’s highest scoring offense, they’ve got the National League’s best ERA. They’ve got their former closer Ryan Dempster pitching like an ace, and they’ve got their former ace Kerry Wood dominating as a closer. They’ve got a moody Carlos Zambrano pitching great as usual, and they’ve got the wildly underrated Aramis Ramirez putting up his usual terrific numbers, and they’ve got the unhittable Rich Harden striking out sides and racing against the arm injury that every good and counting-to-doomsday Cubs fan knows is coming.
