You Better BELIEVE It… Swept Away in L.A.

The world's biggest, and now saddest, Cubs Fan...

I’m far too upset and tired tonight to complete this post.  But, I think somethings need to be said.  First off, watching this series was a complete embarrassment.  For the first time, in a long time, I felt ashamed to call myself a cubbies fan.  And don’t get me wrong, I could be an 90 year old man, with terminal cancer, and I would still never turn my back on them, but this was just bad.  Secondly, I know many of you will be wanting to blame a higher, or cosmic force for the Cubs’ fate this post-season, but it would be just another cop-out.  The Cubs didn’t lose because a goat was not admitted into the friendly confines 100 years ago, or because a black cat decided to stroll past Ron Santo as he warmed up on deck.  They lost because almost not a single player showed up to play baseball. Period.  This includes Lou Pinella.  It was as if the Cubs just forgot everything they had practiced and perfected this entire year; all that hard work… gone.  But, lastly and most importantly, if you’re a Cubs fan…. remember that….   This is what we do, and one year we will shine.  I know it’s hard to cope with the fact that we haven’t won a World Series, now in over a century…. But, it will come, we have a good team, and a fearless leader….. and as they say, “There’s Always Next Year….”

P.S.  if your really feeling depressed, read this article about Ron Santo, it may be one of the saddest things I have ever read.  Click here or on the picture above.

100, Number of the Year?

With 95 wins on the season the Chicago Cubs have a chance to walk away from 2008 with 100 regular season wins.

With two more games against the wild card-holding New York Mets and a three game series with division rival and wild card runner-up, the Brewers, the Cubs not only have a chance to hit the hundred win mark but also to directly influence the NL playoff ballot.

Tickets to the homestand playoff effort went on sale to individuals drawn from entries submitted on http://www.Cubs.com. Although the opprotunity for first round playoff tickets has expired, there will be another opprotunity to enter for the chance to purchase NL championship tickets later this week.

Tickets are available for the final series against the Brewers and the playoff series on stubhub!
