Sticking a Fork in it

This is not me talking, mind you, it's a reporter from a television station in South Bend. He is ready to stick a fork in the Cubs season, and has a good reason for doing so. (You can read his reasons here)

I've always been accused of being quick with the fork (last year I stuck it in the season on May 1--but I was right).

I don't know if I'm giddy from the blowout win last night, or if it's just because I can't in all good conscience hand off the division to the likes of Dusty or Tony LaRussa, but I'm not quite ready to stick the fork in the season yet. On the other hand, I'm just being honest when I tell you that I have taken it out of the drawer, and I have polished it.
