The Chicago Cubs

Ouch! It's not looking good for the Cubs! Down two games to none. Down 3-0 and entering the 7th inning of the do-or-die Game 3 in LA....unless the team wakes up and plays like they did when they won 97 in the regular season, tonight is going to be the end of the line for 2008.

I'd hate to think we'll have to say 'wait 'til next year' again...

This was supposed to be their year.

100 years...and waiting.

I'm not giving up, yet. They still have 9 outs to work with...they've come from behind and won so many games over the season...

DeRosa out...8 outs left.

Theriot singles. Let's get something going!

Fukudome at the plate. I hope he finds his swing--if not at the plate tonight--hopefully over the off season. He's a great defensive player, has a great arm. I'd love to see him return next year and hit like he did in the early part of the season. Lately, he looks lost at the plate.

Oh my! Fukudome just got a hit! Yes!!

Soriano at the plate now. 2 on. Only 1 out. Pitching change. The Dodger fans are giving their pitcher a standing ovation. Gotta give it to him--he had some good stuff tonight. Hopefully the Cubs can jump all over the bullpen and score 4...5...runs or more. If I recall correctly, they led the league this year with scoring 5 or more runs in an inning...

Soriano is the tying run now....no double play. No double play. No double play....

Soriano pops out to right field on the first pitch. 0-4 for the day...

2 outs.

Fontenot is up now. For a little guy he sure has some power. A home run would be awesome, but a hit would be nice...

Wild pitch. Theriot advances to 3rd. Fukudome stayed at 1st.

3-2 on Fontenot. 2 outs. 2 on. D-Lee on deck...

Line drive to center field......caught.

6 outs left.

I'll suffer the rest of this alone now....

Take care all -
