Cubs win in 14th but still fall back half a game...

Is this a karma thingy? Am I destined to NEVER see the Cubbies in a series???

If Dubya can get appointed to the presidency, the northsiders ought to be able to provide a winner once in a lifetime...

1. How did they fall back?

Wouldn't they just stay even?

It would be great to see the Cubs v. the Red Sox in a series -- Wrigley and Fenway. Now that would be baseball!

I'm a closet Cubs & Red Sox fan (sorry, my team is still the Mutts).

Even if it's not the Series, I want to see a game in both of those stadiums before I die, (no, I'm planning to......yet)

On edit: This is the post that I passed Ruth!! :evilgrin:

3. Wrigley Field is the cathedral of baseball

Bart Giamatti said that. It's an awesome place.

4. If Ebbetts' Field was still around

I'd think Mr. Giamatti would have a different opinion. Then again, I'm biased because all of my elders (Dad, Grandpa, Uncle) told me how great that stadium was. I've been to Shea and Yank-off Stadiums, and hate them now. My favorite stadiums are/were Sal Magile Stadium in Niagara Falls, NY and Cashman Field in Las Vegas, NV. The former not only because it was the only time I "saved" Marie from a foul ball, but I was so close to have a batter (Bobby Higginson) look at me and I could see him flip me off after one of my comments.

6. The Cubs, the 'Stros and the Cards all won...

...so how did the Cubbies fall back 1/2 a game?? Answer: they didn't. Everything stays the same.

Great game by the way!!

Cubs and BoSox in the series?? What a lovely dream...

5. As long as my Astros keep their shit together,

you will not see the cubs in a series this year. Unless they're the wildcard.

7. Maybe you should switch to the southside,

so you can root for a winner. My god the sox are hot right now...and after such a dissapointing start, i'm loving every second of it.
