I can’t think of anything to say to make it better. A woman called in  to Mully and Hanley and began crying. And while I could see the absurdity of it all, I couldn’t help feeling a few tears well up some behind my eye-sockets.

Maybe we just want it to bad. Look at Manny, he doesn’t care one way or the other … so he plays like a beast. I don’t know.

The one thing I was certain of coming into the series is that if the Cubs were beat, they wouldn’t go down easily. I was dead wrong.

Of course, they still have a chance. The pressure at Wrigley may be too great to win there and may a couple days in LA will lift the chain from around their necks. But maybe not. Maybe they are victims of their own expectations and of ours.

In the end, there is just no explanation …
