Hell is freezing over. The Chicago Cubs have won their first playoff series since 1908. Think about that for a moment. Teddy Roosevelt was president and the first World War hadn't even occurred yet. As a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers, it makes me feel better about the fact the Brewers haven't had a postseason birth since 1982.

The baseball playoffs are turning out to be the best in years according to this fan. You have the Cubs story. You also have the Boston Red Sox coming back from the verge of elimination. The Sox were down 0-2 in their series against the Oakland A's. Game 5 is tonight at 7pm Central time.

Now to map out my scenario for the best World Series in years. The Cubs will face the Florida Marlins in the National League Championship Series. Florida's also a great team that has recovered from the years following their World Series win in 1997. The Cubs will beat Florida to go to their first World Series in 58 years breaking the infamous billy goat curse in the process.

In the American League, the Red Sox should win tonight to proceed to the battle for the American League championship. Standing in their way on the path to the World Series are the New York Yankees. How poetic is this? The curse of the Bambino still hanging over the heads of Boston fans after all these years, they must go through the Yankees to break said curse. If the Sox win, they have a chance to capture their first World Series title since 1918.

If these events play out, you will have the Chicago Cubs playing the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. Beside the fact that both teams haven't won a title since before the 1920s, the series will be played at the two oldest parks in baseball, Wrigley Field and Fenway Park.

In the event that the playoffs work out this way, who does this writer root for being a Brewers fan? The Red Sox of course, because the Cubs must always fail.
