All season long it’s been, “Go Cubs go! Go Cubs go! Hey Chicago Whadaya say? The Cubs are gonna win today!” Well the only sounds coming from Cubs fans the last two nights were expletives and choking down a sausage followed by an Old Style. The curse has reared its ugly head again which means it’s the same old story in the post-season at Wrigley. 8 straight playoff losses dating back to the Bartman disaster have left Wrigleyville hopeless.
This is what happens when a manager who once threw bases across the field now looks like the Dude on the bench. I half expect to see Lou lean over to Alan Trammell and ask, “Mind if I do a jay?” The Cubs 
have all the talent in the world, but they need that one guy who is going to fire them up and lead them to victory. There’s no question that the team is nervous when an infield that has been solid all year makes 4 errors in the biggest game of the season. This team lacks the testicular fortitude of champions. Didn’t you expect Zambrano to pick a fight with Derrek Lee in the dugout? He should have. You have Fukudome swinging and missing and looking at his bat like a girlfriend that cheated on him.
That being said, the Cubs still have a chance to survive L.A. and bring the series back. No, I’m not crazy. Pitching is the key to victory, and if there’s one guy left on the Cubs staff that can dominate a game, it’s Rich Harden. Harden is the last chance for the Cubs to turn this series around and save the season. So here’s to you Richie, and your golden arm. I got a six pack of your choice waiting on you if you can win Game 3.
Here’s what fans should be chanting:
“Go Cubs go! Go Cubs go! Hey Cubbies whadaya say? Bring your balls to the field today!”
Thank God for beer. I’m out….
