Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 Sorry, they were great all year, but this team is done. I loathe the five-game series and can't wait for the Phillies to steamroll the Dodgers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 I feel badly for the Cubs because, barring a miracle, it seems likely that my grandma and grandpa will die without seeing them win the Series. Of course, that can be said about many people and their family members over the years. I am not rooting for them, but I can't really find much joy in seeing them suffer. Well, except for imagining Czech's reaction. But fuck, the Sox aren't doing much better. Bad postseason for Chicago baseball. It's the first time in 102 years that both teams are in, and they're both in danger of being swept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 Huge at bat there, Soriano had a chance to tie it up, or bring the cubs close and instead swung at the first pitch and popped out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 Cubs have 6 outs left. Ugh, I really wanted to see what the atmosphere would be like for a World Series in Wrigley. I thought this was the year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 Soriano is just an incredibly maddening player. I can't call him awful, because he's great when he's on. But he's a raw player who ultimately is what he is. Fontenot, a guy who's only playing because of the continued self-destruction of Fukudome, has put together the best ABs tonight. He had a very good season, actually. It was clear early that this just isn't happening. The Cubs are definitely choking here, but NOTHING has gone their way and a lot has gone the Dodgers way.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 The interference call at the end of the game was really interesting. I didn't even know the rule could be applied in that fashion. Neither Howard or the runner going to 3rd had reached the base before the interference occured, so they have to return to their original base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 I've got no problem with Fontenot. I'd love for him to see more playing time in 2009. 2003 will always be the most crushing given the circumstances, but this is devastating in a completely different way. This team should've chugged along to the World Series and they didn't win a single game. The Dodgers had their breaks, but the Cubs did virtually nothing in the 27 innings of baseball played that indicated they even belonged to be participating in a postseason game. For those of you keeping score at home, Soriano made the final out in Game 3 last year, too. He had a very good season, but for what he's paid, he's awful. I cannot wait until they decide to eat the rest of that contract and unload him. He does not fit the mold of where this team looks like it is going offensively. There isn't a lot this team needs to do. I doubt they can match their win total in 2009, but as teams keep proving, it's just a matter of making the playoffs. Anyone who followed this team should be able to tell you they were looking like World Series material almost all year. They just choked. Simple as that. I can't get mad. I'm not happy, but for whatever reason, I feel nothing. Maybe I died in the living room or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
