Cubs: October 2008 Archives

Wow! I'm almost left speechless after watching the Cubs undergo yet another amazing collapse.

Cubs fans can't completely give up on their team until the final out is recorded, but the squad's sudden lack of character and confidence is stunning. The Dodgers look like the far superior team in every facet, and the events of the first two games of the series offer very little hope that the Cubs can come back. Unless the Cubs suddenly regain their swagger, this season is over.

With Lou's crew 27 outs from another crushing postseason loss, it's never too early to begin reflecting on the latest promising season that ended in flames.

Here we go. Game 2. It's pretty much do or die for the Cubs. Is everyone as nervous as I am right now? If we win today then we go to L.A. and get to play in warm weather. That'll help our sluggers. Let's go Cubbies...

Like many others in the area, I've been a die-hard Cubs fan my whole life. Never before have the Cubs have this good of a team and never before have the expectations of ending the 100-year drought been so high. I would have much rather seen the Mets, but we gotta play the Dodgers - one of the hottest, if not the hottest team in baseball. Join me throughout the game today for what figures to be one heck of an emotional rollercoaster.
