Error, bloop hit, bloop hit, homer in the first row. The Cubs give up like 5 times more homers in the basket than they hit. Yes, they are bad, but sick, sick luck this year has made it even worse. It's painful to watch.

Yeah, yeah, variance. We get it. They'll win about 60 games from here on out I'm sure. Once their warning-track shots start falling into the basket, and the bad guys' don't.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, if you like most people buy the idea that there's no such thing as clutch hitting, then yeah, I guess variance is playing a big role. If you had read my post, you'd see that I also said I know they are a bad team which means I'm not making excuses. God forbid you read the damn post.

I particularly liked the intro to the game where they noted that not only TV, but also Radio was invented since the Cubs last won the World Series.

The man who was president of the United States when the Cubs last won the World Series was born in 1858.

Everything about this entire telecast made me want to kill myself. The actual game, the cut-scenes of Cub fans, Joe Morgan speaking, it was painful.

radio was invented before 1908. they probably weren't broadcasting baseball on it yet.

yahoo seems to think jacque jones is actually 1-56 after 0-2 counts as opposed to the 0-54 reported on espn last night. does espn.com carry this split data anywhere? i wonder if there's a discrepancy there.

I want to stab Miller in the eye every time he says "Bel-TRON".

When the accent mark is over the "a", it's Bel-TRON.

You are wrong.
