A Century and Counting

It's been a century since the Chicago Cubs have won a World Series. And they won't be winning one this year either. The Scrubs completed their annual meltdown last night, being swept by the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

See you next year Cubbies. Have a good winter.

Fear and Loathing in Chicago

Now the sound of the choking has doubled in the Windy City. The "Scrubs" looked even worse behind their "ace" crazy Carolos Zambrano then they did in Game 1. And last night the South Siders were handed their second loss in a row by the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Cubbies will probably be finished off by very early Sunday morning and the same fate awaits the the White Sox tomorrow. Bye Bye Chicago.

What's That Sound Coming from Chicago's North Side?

I watched the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs tonight 7-2 in the first round of Major League Baseball's playoffs. The North-Siders had everything going their way and still blew a lead. The Cubs made it through the National League season without having their August or September swoon and finished with the best record in the league.

But, every year you know the Cubbies are good for a collapse. It started a little later than most years, but I think that's the sound I hear tonight coming from the North Side.
