    They are the Golden State Warriors in spikes, Springsteen on the diamond and Warren Buffett with a scorecard.

    The Chicago Cubs are baseball royalty, the ultimate in perfection with a gaudy 93-52 record and on the brink of taking the first giant step to their most magical season in 108 years.

    “Who’s going to beat them?” Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun said. “That team is so good. They’re just so complete. It’s scary how good they are with all of their depth.”

    The most frightening aspect?

    “These guys are good, but we’re going to get better,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “I like what we’ve done a lot this year, and I think it’s been very good, but there’s definitely room for growth and improvement.

    “I absolutely believe next year is going to get better.”

    Is it permitted, kosher or even lawful to actually discuss back-to-back championships with a franchise that hasn’t won the World Series since 1908?

    They aren't on pace to have the best record ever.

    At least they're killing the Cardinals!!!
