I should have known better than to the bet on the Cubs to win the World Series. They didn't even make it past the first round of playoffs. They didn't even win one playoff game. Now we have to wait 101 years before we see a World Series title.
The Cubs lost to the Dodgers tonight to lose the series 3-0. The Cubs pretty much lead the Central division (ONE OF THE HARDEST divisions in baseball besides the AL East) all year long but then lose three straight games to the Dodgers.
I bet Cardinal nation can sleep at ease knowing that the Cubs lost. And with the Brewers one game away from losing the series against Philadelphia, they won't even have to count sheep to sleep.
Now who I am supposed to cheer for? The Rays? They are a good team but do they have what it takes to get to the Series? Maybe.
If the Red Sox win, they are looking at some sort of dynasty. (2004, 2007, and possible 2008 winners) The town of Boston has gone from the a nation of lovable losers to a hated city. (Patriots, Celtics, Red Sox) It is like the sports gods have given them an infinite amount of miracles. Its almost sickening. Except I like the Patriots (One of the few non-Bostonians who do).
So if there is anything to cheer for, its no more sweeps. I want it to come down to a final pitch. A bases loaded, two out, full count scenario. No more of this bases empty, two out, 0-2 count crap. Make it worth my two hours.
