Cubs Kerry'd into NLCS
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
The Cubs took a huge, historic step on Sunday night, beating the Atlanta Braves in the deciding game of the NLDS to take their first playoff series in 95 years. Kerry Wood led the Chicago effort, allowing one run on five hits over eight innings while picking up his second series victory. Kid K doled out seven strikeouts in Game 5.

For more than six months, Braves fans wondered whether this would be the year when a potent offense would bring them the ultimate October satisfaction, last enjoyed by the city of Atlanta in 1995. Thanks to Cubs hurlers Kerry Wood -- whose dominance was on display again on Sunday -- and Mark Prior, that question has been answered in a manner that will only intensify fans' thirst.  Full story >
