Anyone notice the Cubs were outscored 23-10 in being swept three straight at Yankee Stadium. it was exciting -- briefly -- to have the Cubs tread that hallowed Bronx ground.
Kinda looked like one of those monuments in the outfield just fell over and smashed all hope. The Cubbies actually held a lead in the first game, albeit briefly.
But after that, it was same old same old.
Funny how the Cubs year after year after year can play just good enoughto keep their loyal fans hoping, but never good enough to actually do anything.
And tonight, Mr. 500, Greg Maddux is on the mound, on his slow saunter to the Hall of Fame. Funny how he manages to pitch well just about every other game. He was shelled last time, so....
Ah, hope springs eternal. Cubs insanity is incurable. (If we can only get Wood and Prior back and if Lee keeps hitting and if Ramirez gets hot and if Nomar comes back strong and if Corey figures out what a leadoff hitter is and if Zambrano can hold his temper for 9 innings and if and if and if and if).
Wouldn't it seem to be a little easier to just go ahead and win once in a while rather than coming close every year for about a century?
And so it goes.
