~ Official MLB Playoffs 2003 ~ Who are you rooting for? ~

Yeah i guess thats right. I just came from work and i took the addison bus to the train to get home, ( cubs stadium is on addison). So when i get on its swarming with cubs fans. That ride was one of the worst ones in a while. Face paint, the hats, jackets, shirts, blankets, mits, paws and all sorts of things they didnt even need. And half of them were already drunk. No manners whatsoever either ( i mean they sell cubs thongs. Thats sad).

Its worse on the train. They all pack in no matter what. Yesterday a friend of mine was on the train and yelled out cubs suck and about 4 guys were just like "Who the hell was that!"

Just another daily adventure through yuppieville in the middle of a cubs game.

Someone sounds bitter

Fans are fans, you can\'t tell me Sox fans don\'t get drunk either.  And I see nothing wrong with selling Cubs thongs.

And Sammy Sosa, on a game where the Cubs were seemingly whooped after Chipper Jones\' 2nd 2 run homer, almost lights up the Chicago Night with one of the biggest hits in Cub history, with a game tying 2 run homer, but falls just feet short, as Andruw Jones catches the ball in the Dead Center Warning Track...

Ugh...so close. That just wasn\'t fair. Game 5 tomorrow at 7:30 EST in Wrigley South.

See Yuz.

I hate baseball, every single team I was pulling for today lost (A\'s haven\'t lost yet...)

You are right. Im not going to deny that sox fans get a little tipsy but nowhere near the level of cubs fans. Thats half the reason some of those guys go there (not to say that all do).

And yes there is something very sad with selling cubs thongs. Its not like its a nation wide thing put out by a larger designer, Its mainly fan shops and crap around the stadium to make more money. ew.
Oh well. Another game down for the cubbies

Hoohah, Red Sox avoid the sweep. Onto Game 4, and if they win that.. it\'s anybody\'s game!

Did anybody watch? Pretty wild game.. a pitcher\'s duel with a bunch of errors and obscure rule-calls thrown in for good measure. The bullpens were outstanding, as well. Timlin kicked ass.

Well, they won Game 4. Series is now tied 2-2 with God.. ahem.. Pedro Martinez on the mound for Game 5.

It\'s not going to be easy though, seeing as how Oakland has Barry Zito pitching. It should be a tight game.

I smell another Oakland collapse...

Let me just say that as a life-long Cubs fan this is f*cking insane.


My dad is 64 years old and tonight was the first time he\'s ever seen them win a playoff series.

This is like my f*cking dream come true... they have a serious shot here with this pitching.

Cubs vs Marlins, have to go with the Cubbies in 6.  As long as NY isn\'t in the WS, they have a shot at it all.

Cubs fans, welcome to next year.

All I have to say is if the Cubs make it to the WS, look for them to become media freak\'n darlings (more so than they are now)

<-- predicted the Cubs to make the playoffs at the beginning of the year.  Hot damn I\'m cool.

Its gonna suck if the Cubs win the World Series...people around here are STILL bragging about the Bears winning the Superbowl.  That was what, 15, 16 years ago?

 They do have a very good shot at it though.  Wood and Prior are going to be solid for at least 15 more years unless something drastic happens.

That\'s all I have to say. Red Sox come back from an 0-2 deficit to take the series. Pedro Martinez started the game and was mostly dominant, giving up 3 ER basically because despite the A\'s low number of hits.. they were well-timed and well-located (in the gaps) but the 8th was pretty bad. Barry Zito was arguably better, but like Pedro in the 8th.. Zito got tired and unraveled in the 6th.. giving up 2 HR and a total of 4 runs.

4 runs: all the Red Sox would need, as Derek Lowe ended a bases-loaded threat in the bottom of the 9th by allowing a ground-out and 2 beautiful called strike-outs! Pedro and Lowe, doin\' it together.. awesome.

Petey was good in this series, but not Pedro Martinez good. Where\'s my vintage Pedro? Hopefully he\'ll be ready to pitch in the ALCS against th\' Bronx Bombers.
