1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908! 1908!
I guess the curse is still there. :-(
I would be pulling for the Cubs if they were playing any other team other than my Mets.
George Will needs oxygen.
Cubs just aren’t executing as well as the Mets. In a game of inches, they are just not there yet. The Mets are executing nearly flawlessly. Each game, you can point to few moments that the Cubs just don’t make it happen when needed, from key pitches to throws to home plate, or slight hesitations in their throw to 1st.
The results are runs where they needed to avoid them. While they haven’t made major mistakes like a young team might in the pressure of the NLCS, they just aren’t quite ready for this stage yet. Their pitching in particular has been underwhelming. The Mets pitching really hasn’t had a bad inning. A run here or there, but nothing to blow a game.
Long time (long time suffering too) Cubs fan here.
Seems to me, the team doesn’t have the ‘WE want it more’ drive in this LCS. They seemed to be happy just to be “The young talent” and “Cubs is going to be good for a long time”. [Psst, we’ve heard it in 2003.]
Mets is a better team, this post season.
Gonna do a dance when the cubs go down in flames.
Murphy can S*** ** ****!!!! (ultimate INSULT)
Does Murphy have a soul?
Wilmer Flores weeping on the field after media reports that he was traded. Turns out the deal was canceled because the Mets had concerns about the health of the guy they traded for (Carlos Gomez). Flores hit a walk-off home run two days later in a big game against division rival Washington, and the team was on fire from that point on.
It read:
"Will the woman who left her nine kids at Wrigley Field please come back and pick them up? They're beating the Cubs 5-2 in the bottom of the 7th Inning in the third National League Championship Series game! Thank You!"
Thanks for posting this and agreed: LET’S GO METS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on, Cubs.
Whoever is playing the Mets, I’ll be rooting for them.
I was hoping for a Cubs vs. Royals series. Fat lady hasn’t sung yet.
Well its not over till somebody wins four games. But its rare in any sport for a team to come back from.being down three games to none in a four out of seven playoff series.
Murphy’s law reigns supreme!
The Cubs could actually be eliminated on the day they were supposed to win the Series (Back to the future).
Even by 1985 standards, Oct 21 was a bit early...series that year ended Oct 27.
I will admit that I learned how to get hit by the pitch deliberately and make it look accidental from Ron Hunt.
