Hola!
My condolences to all Chicago Cubs fans out there. I really could not give two twits about baseball, but I am sad that the Cubs did not make the World Series. I tried to listen to a radio cast of the game on my computer, but they were all pay sites.
There is something wrong when a team called the MARLINS get the right to play in the World Series twice in their 11 years of existance when the Cubs have not been there since 1945 and have not won the thing since 1908.
Maybe we will see that twit BARTMAN (the guy who caught the foul ball in Game 6) posting on the board about his wonderful 3000 RMB a month job at the Qinghai Institute of Plumbing and Dust.
Truly, to all Chicago fans, my prayers and sorrow 
SENOR |

There are a number of Chicago police guarding the house where this guy lives--for his protection.  He also issued a statement of apology to Chicago Cubs fans, through his attorney? (I think that's right)
Finally, earlier today, I heard that Florida Governor Jeb Bush said "come on down." If the guy wants a temporary safe haven ("asylum") somewhere, according to Bush  a nice Florida beach-front property is waiting for him (the Chicago guy) if he decides he needs it! They like him -- in Florida.  |

Maybe the Cubs are just not very good at the Game...? |

My condolences as well. The only part of Chicago I've ever seen is O'Hare, but still, I was hoping to see the Cubs make it to the Series.
Why is it that this poor fan who caught the ball in FOUL territory is getting death threats, when just a few years ago some 12-year-old kid reached out and caught a home-run ball in FAIR territory and became a celebrity?!?!? Maybe they cut him some slack because he was just a kid.

The Cubs just need someone to point the finger at.
Some actually make it sound like it was this fan who allowed 5 runs in an inning 
The Cubs suck...they always have and always will |

And now that other perennial bridesmaid, the hapless Red Sox, are out of the running, too - ending what could have been such a perfect match-up: The Losers World Series. The Cubbies were last World Champs in 1908, the Red Sox in 1918. And both managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory yet once again. Maybe there really IS something to those " curses ". Oh well - as we've been saying in Boston since 1919, " Wait until next year. " And thank God for football - how about them Patriots?
Regards,
John |

| OH God Johnslat did you have to mention the Bosox. I logged on this morning and they were up 4-0 and ...well...this is the year... They seemed doomed all along though. I am not from Boston but I have been there and love the team although baseball sucks these days since the strike in 94. It's all about buying the best team. I like Pedro i saw him pitch live before---amazing. So I thought maybe they had a chance. It's 86 and 78 and ......weelll all that all over again. Was only their 4th postseason advance in history and it all went for naught. A sad day---good thing God invented beer... |

Dear dmb,
" The cubbies were world champs in 1908. Remind me. Which other countries put forward a team to compete that year? "
I'll be happy to do so. But, before I answer your question, could you tell me how many other planets, solar systems and galaxies besides Earth had entries in the last | |
