I'd be embarassed to do so But seriously folks... why are we forgetting the HUGE error by Gonzo??? That kept the inning going just as much as the POSSIBLE catch by Alou. And the bullpen absolutely IMPLODING at the worst possible time.

Re: Cubs vs. Marlins

This is as low as I've felt after watching a sporting event since Christian Laetner beat my beloved Kentucky Wildcats in the 1992 East Regional Final. The most gut-wrenching losses are usually the ones that your team lets slip away. I thought for sure when Sean Woods banked in that wild-running flip shot 11 years ago, my "Unforgettables" were going to the Final Four. Just like tonight, leading 3-0 with 1 out in the 8th inning, I called my girlfriend up and said, "They're going to do it." Well, looks like I jinxed my Cubbies.....only difference between now and '92 is that there is, luckily, a tommorow. Though I feel a lot less secure about going to the World Series against Redman.

Re: Cubs vs. Marlins

man although the game wasn't on in my area for some reason... the screen was blacked out. I seriously wanted to cry... I hope Wood can do it, but I'm not sure... Right now I think I will try and get some sleep, because this just isn't fair. First its my Bills never winning. Then its my favorite team in baseball the Cleveland Indians lose the WS to these Marlins. And now my team that I grew up with on WGN the Cubs look to be on the verge of collapse. Man oh man thats all I can say.

Re: Cubs vs. Marlins

When Gonzo booted the double play ball, how many other people out there thought or yelled "1984!" I know I did. Yesterday is a prime example of what its like to be a Chicago sports or more specifically Chicago baseball fan. That was painful, but the sick thing is, It wasn't any more painful that Leon Durham in 1984.

The thing is, I hope people forget about that fan. This poor guy was just doing what everybody does at a baseball game. IF you watch the replay, you'll see EVERYONE went for that ball. It's not this guys fault. Everybody is frustrated, I know I yelled at him, but we're frustrated cuz we just wanna know what the hell it feels like to be in a frickin' world series. As mad as I was, when Gonzo booted that ball, THAT is what crushed me, cuz I could feel it. I could feel us just sinking, I could feel Prior getting tired, I could feel our crappy bullpen ready to mail this one in.

When it's all said and done, congrats to the Marlins and their fans for taking advantage of the error. They still could've caved in, but they didn't. They deserved to win. As for game 7. I really don't know what to think. Part of me admittidly does feel cursed, I mean how couldn't you if you've been a Cubs fan for the last 30 years? But another part of me thinks that yesterday just may have been of purpose to make us feel that much more that the curse is lifted with a win tonight. We got Kerry Wood tonight though, and he has come through when we need it so far. There was a phsycic on TV in Chicago this morning that said 2 things. 1. A Marlins player will have a major injury tonight. 2. The Cubs will win tonight....in extra innings.

I hope she is incorrect on the 1st point, but correct on the 2nd. Either way if the Marlins do manage to come back and win 3 straight games including two at Wrigley against Prior and Wood, then my hats will go off to them. I will feel the pain of a scab that hasn't healed since 1984, but I will root for them as the National League winner in the world series.....and repeat the phrase that has become the mantra for the Chicago sports fan..."There's always NEXT year"...
