Tim Kurkjian and Curt Schilling break down Kyle Schwarber's impact on the Cubs' lineup.
CHICAGO -- It’s the silly season at the corner of Clark and Addison, which is to say the Cubs are in the National League Championship Series and everyone is getting giggly, as former Cubs manager Lou Piniella liked to say.
There is good reason to giggle, because they are favored to beat the New York Mets in the NLCS, and no one is worried about black cats or cold bats.
Good vibes abound in Chicago, because the Cubs are just a really good team with two big-game pitchers and a slew of big-time bats.
