Specifically the Chicago Cubs. I can’t take this. This team had all the power. Win your games and your in. Heck, win most and the Giants and Astros would take care of the rest. But no. Blow 2 to the Mets. Blow 2 to the Reds. The Mets and the Reds! Gah!
A specific pox on Latroy Hawkins who is currently leading in the Felix Heredia Memorial Award given to the Cubs reliever who least inspires confidence upon entering a game because we all know he will find a new and inventive way to screw up a good thing.
Granted, this team should be pretty darn good for the next couple of years so things are actually brighter for Cubs fans, but this is just mind-numbingly painful and stressful to watch. So, for the next week, I’ve got nothing left to give. No visiting baseball websites, no watching games, no checking the ESPN scrolls. I can live with popping into a baseball thread on the SDMB due to the possibility I might get to rip on Bud Selig, but I’m out. They have lost me for this year.
Unless they make the playoffs. Then we’ll be OK.
