Dodgers 2, Cubs Zip
I was actually watching the end of the VP debate tonight (with the start of the game recording) when my phone started buzzing with text messages. Shortly thereafter, my cell and my house phone started ringing. I heard the MSN chat window dinging across the room. Something happened. Maybe good, probably bad. Something happened. So I switched off the debate and started watching the game. First inning - not bad. Nice to see the crowd in to it. Soriano stranded. No biggie. Then the 2nd inning happened. And now I read (and understood) the text messages:
-
It's going to be a long night
-
Head cases
-
Things are going swimmingly
-
WHAT THE F?
-
Embarrassing. I might need to move to another town.
-
It's over
-
Now we know why Atlanta fans were so indifferent in the NLDS. Wake me when the NLCS starts.
And a whole lot more just like it. Shell-shocked. Z actually wasn't that bad. Everyone in the infield? F--king keystone cops. They looked like clowns out there. Embarrassing. Just a debacle all around. NOBODY did their job tonight. EVERYBODY sucked. On to L.A.
Can they turn it around? Sure. They've won 3 in a row a dozen times this year. Maybe this is just a test for the Cubs. Maybe they have to crawl across 500 yards of shit-smelling foulness to find their redemption. Maybe this is their Shawshank.
Or maybe they're just a bunch of head-case chokers and will never win a World Series. We'll see on Saturday night.
