[Back by popular demand...]

My silence was due to the conclusion that the Cubs are the best team
in the National League this year. The empirical evidence was
overwhelming and my hope for a Met title turned out to be,
paraphrasing Thomas Huxley, another beautiful theory killed by nasty,
brutish facts.

My congratulations to the Cubs on a truly outstanding season, the only
divisional champion that will have both coped with a serious challenge
AND finished well above .500. I'll be rooting for them in October.
