Last night after Chipper Jones' second HR, I felt resigned that the Cubs
would lose, but I didn't feel disappointed at all. I had a very good
feeling about today.

That good feeling pretty much stuck the whole game. I wasn't that hyped up
when they finally won it. I wasn't thrilled, more content than anything
else. And judging from the timbre of the Cubs' celebration, I would say
that would describe their feeling too.

That's a good thing. There is a demeanor of confidence here that I have
never seen in the Cubs.

Maybe because major league baseball has turned what was once a 5-game
playoff into a 12-game playoff. This "win" just means they get to keep
playing. I'll start partying when the Cubs reach the real deal.... the
World Series.

You know, I almost felt guilty for feeling the same way after the game. I
think I hit the ceiling a little higher in '98 after the one-game playoff.
There's no rational explanation for it; obviously this win is infinitely
bigger. Maybe I'm starting to believe the Cubs are destined for better
things this season.

I had a similar experience. I believe it is because of the non-close score.
Borowski wasn't even in a closer situation. Funny. If the Cubs had won 5-4
or 2-1 I might very well feel better right now, having come through a
nerve-wracking experience "victorious". Instead, the Cubs won what was never
really a close game. That should make me feel much better! I guess I'm just
used to too many close shaves. Addicted to the stress?? But undoubtedly this
way is MUCH BETTER!!!! Go Cubs.
