Okay, I'll Say it
Posted By: runscott
I think it's necessary that I do this in order to save the Cubs - I am ALWAYS wrong about games, so I will state unequivicobally that "The Cubs are Toast". Yes, if ever there was a curse on a sports team, the one that is obviously now on the Chicago Cubs owes it to all self-respecting curses everywhere to thrash Kerry Wood and the Cubbies this afternoon, in a manner that properly humiliates their fans and at least one additional Cub player.

I went to dinner with my daughter when it was 3-0 and came home to watch the celebration in CHI. I laughed my @$$ off instead. What buffoons. Oh, let's not blame the poor schmuck in the stands: he didn't bobble a double play ball, serve up BP to several Marlins players, etc., etc. Let's place blame where it is due: Dusty Baker and the Cubs bullpen. Baker left Prior out there after it was apparent he was laboring AND he stupidly let Prior pitch to Pudge--a .500 hitter in the series with 1B open. Walk his @$$ and look for the DP. Instead, he rakes one, clears the bases and then comes the hook? Even I know better. Of course, with a bully like his and such a thin starting staff... Suffice it to say that these guys need to grow some 'nads; Stengel wouldn't have hesitated to have Reynolds or Raschi come in and relieve to nail down the pennant. I'm certain to draw a rasher of crap on this, but if I'm 3 up with no legitimate bullpen and five outs away, Kerry is coming in to nail it down. Now, they've got to pull it out in a one-game showdown.

for printing the kid's name. My God, 3 other fans went for the ball also. That didn't lose the game. If Gonzalez hadn't nonchalanted the ground ball and remembered what he learned in Little League, that late in the game when you are ahead you always make sure of getting ONE out, things would have been different. Bringing Farnsworth in with men on base is like bringing gasoline to a bonfire. Idiotic. With Clements and Zambrana in the pen and knowing you only needed six outs to go to the W.S., Baker screwed up. I agree with Adam, you walk Pudge, he is a man on a mission. If the Cubs lose, they'll find some other reason to explain their ineptitude, like the curse of the kid, or something.

Torre burned nearly every starter he had to close down the pennant. Baker, watch and learn; there is no tomorrow when the pennant is on the line. Big, healthy men can pitch more than once every four or five days.

Look at it this way, what would New Englanders have to feel despondent and bitch about if they had won?

For me at least,this world series in 24 hours went from possibly the most anticipated ever to who gives a rats butt.Both of these teams have won within the last 6 years,the yankees have won enough already,i hate Ivan Rodriguez with a passion and Tim McCarver announcing!

Although I will not be watching the World Series if there is anything else to do (women's professional basketball, minor league bowling), this was in my opinion the greatest play-off season ever - it was almost like getting two World Series in one year.

I won't be watching either unless it is the game where Marlins are going to wrap up The Series. You have to admire the Marlins though. You look at the roster and outside of Pudge, the average fan says, who the hell are these guys.

Fox's coverage of baseball is the worst suck ass coverage I have ever seen of any major sport. Every damned pitch, they show a close-up ("CU") of the batter's face, CU of the pitcher's face, CU of some clown in the stands, CU of the coach or someone on the bench, CU of another clown in the stands, then the pitcher halfway through the delivery to the batter. If the ball is hit, they may follow it; if not, right back to the nose hair portraits. Where the hell is the baseball game? To the casual observer, there is no one on the field. Ridiculous. What makes it even more insulting is that 90% ofthe CU's are not of well endowed women

Outside of having Dan Patrick and Ron Dibble do the game, my second choice is Miller and Morgan on ESPN. I know a lot of people don't care for Joe Morgan but he compliments Miller well as is very knowledgeable. We know how Joe Buck got his job (dad Jack), McCarver is worthless and I didn't like Bret Boone doing his brother's games or Al Leiter who won a WS title with the Marlins doing the Fish's games.

he just happens to be obnoxious. The cohesiveness of McCarver's baseball explanations is like 19th century romantic poetry where they tried to make two words rhyme based on spelling as opposed to pronounciation...it just doesn't quite work. Or like trying to figure out what relevance what I just wrote has to baseball. that's McCarverism.

Honestly, it's just unAmerican to subject us to multiple CU shots of ugly people. I bet replacing the directors at FOx would boost the ratings 10% overnight.
