Statistics Lines: 16 [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. David Rubin {allegra|astrovax|princeton}!fisher!david P.S. Wait till next year!
