Yes...the last of the 20th Century’s sports curses is still in effect, after the Diamondbacks completed a three-game sweep with a 5-1 win in Game 3 of the NLDS. Arizona will host the winner of the Phillies-Rockies series for the National League Championship.
Out of all this, some good comes from Lou Pinella himself, with the right attitude:

This is just a start, fellas. We’re going to get better with this.”

Pinella isn’t afraid to build his team from the ground up. I have a feeling that under his management, the Cubs will finally win a World Series. And we don’t have to worry about the Apocalpyse...for baseball, that is.
