The Braves are the only team to ever come back from being down 3-1 in a series.

Sorry Leee, I've gotta root for Florida because they'll be easier opponents for the Cubs.

Careful, last time the Fish beat the Giants in a DS, they won the whole bloody thing.

"You don't get grief for being a Cubs fan," Jones said about her new life in Las Vegas. "You get grief for being a Bears fan, because they don't win."
huh? i seem to recall the bears winning a superbowl in the 80s...

That's probably what Red Sox were saying in 86.
At least Gonzales actually has driven in some runs in this series, unlike Leon Durham who couldn't drive in a needed run AND would boot a play to lose a game. (Mind you, Durham was the reason that the Cubs traded Buckner to the Red Sox.)
The first time I ever got drunk was at my cousins wedding reception in 84, I was 14 and got blammoed stealing drinks off of tables after seeing Lee Smith gave up that gopher ball to Steve Garvey on the TV in the lobby.

And I've fallen for Al Leiter this series too. When you hear Bret Boone mumble you can tell it's just the roids talking.

I saw like 5 seconds of the game last night. Nick said I needed to get used to paying attention to the Cubs. Some guy had to duck because the ball would've hit him in the head. Then they showed him ducking from like 7 different angles. It was funny.

Yeah, actually, I completely forgot about the game situation for a brief instant while we were applauding Wood.
AT WRIGLEY. KERRY WOOD EXITS.
Me: (clapping head off) KERRY! WE LOVE YOU!Me: (to friend) Why is he hanging his head down like that? Friend: I think he's upset about the 3 runs he just gave up.Me: Oh.

Ha ha, so true.
I myself have these weird Yanc3ylike feelings of possessiveness over a guy at my tennis club for no reason. The poor guy goes there with his girlfriend and I have these irrational angry feelings towards her, that she is not worthy of being his girlfriend (even though I don't know either of them at all), so seeing them together makes me livid with rage, even though I have no connection to them whatsoever.
x-post: Oh come on, Darren Baker is like 4 years old! It's cute when he cries. Like when the college basketball cheerleaders cry, I love that.

"The Cubs are it for me. The other sports I love, but this would be the greatest. ... I don't need it anymore. I have a son; he's 1-year-old. That's my joy. I don't need the Cubs anymore. But, you know, life will go on and we'll get through this."
Does this mean he didn't pay attention to his child before the Cubs lost? Weel, shit... Go Marlins!

this kind of squares w/ my opinion of suburban cubs fans. (speaking as someone who grew up around wrigley and had to put up with them.)
