Yeah, getting swept sucks...I refused to watch ESPN for like a week after one certain World Series sweep.
Theriot and DeRosa are great. They could be on my team anytime. DeRosa seemed to have some fight in him with that last at-bat the way he was fouling off like 10 pitches. But the Cubs didn't really play like they did the last month of the season, obviously.
At the same time though, Arizona deserves credit. They got the pitching and timely hitting. Arizona-Colorado will be a fun NLCS. They both have a bunch of guys that play hard. I think this series will be a new foundation for a better rivalry in the future also.
The Cubs seemed to turn the corner with Piniella at the helm as far as having more of a winning attitude in Chicago. I have no doubt in my mind they'll be tough next season, too. I wouldn't be surprised to see Andruw Jones in a Cubs uniform...
