Same 'ol Cubs!

Well Eddie Vedder once said..."some day we'll go all the way" speaking of the Cubs. Really? Will they? Don't think so. The best team in the entire National League and 2nd best team in all of baseball is now down 2-0 to the Dodgers. They freakin' Dodgers. The team that led the NL in runs scored and on base % and walks...they've scored 5 runs in 2 games! half of those in a meaningless 9th inning in a game 2 10-3 loss. Look, I don't believe in curses or any of that nonsense, but there HAS to be something going on. Tonight the Cubs made 4 errors by all 4 infielders! Ramirez, Theriot, DeRosa and Lee are 4 of the most sure-handed guys in the league and they all botched routine grounders! Seriously? This shit just doesn't happen to regular teams. Zambrano pitched a pretty spectacular game...if not for the errors; in fact Theriot should have had 2 but they ruled it a hit...I expected us not to hit and the possibility of Big Z having a bad game, but to not be able to field? I mean c'mon....it's always something. ALWAYS!!! Last night it's Dempster walking 7! and tonight we make 4 errors....
If Lou keeps Fukudome in the lineup for game 3 there's something seriously wrong. The guy has looked absolutely terrible the last 2 months of the season and even worse in these first 2 NLDS games. 2 called strike 3 looking tonight. Unacceptable. I want to see DeRosa in right and Fontenot(yes) at 2nd base....
On another note...it's not unexpected from Cubs fans to see this happen. We shut down every post-season. It's baffling how they lose their ability to hit anything when the 1st of October comes around. Anyway...WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR!!!!

"the cubs are like boys going to prom expecting to get laid...but alas..."

BYE!!!
