I’ll be the first to say it:

DOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

If it didn’t hurt so much, this would be comical. Best team in the NL all year (perhaps in all of baseball) taking a monumental dump once again in the playoffs. Son of a bitch.

check out this video on changing the name of Wrigley Field. Don’t let it happen, they shouldn’t be able to just sell the naming rights after so many years of history!!

@Keghorn - I started drinking heavily, so I couldn't feel ANYTHING.

Could no one else feel the tension as they watched the game? I know Cubs fans may be nervous for a playoff game, but even when you watch WGN, you see/hear the fans more laid-back and cheerful than last night’s crowd. I’m not issuing blame anywhere and thats not the point of this post. I was just amazed at how different of a feel this game had than any other.

Mind you, I was wondering this before the second inning when Verdouche-y went off about the fans.

@CactusMcHarris –

Actually, it’s “Vin”.

Vice Scully….hmmm what was I thinking.

That should have been Vince.

Well, it was a hell of a hit for Manny. Not a bad pitch but some artful hitting.

Would you have let Dempster stay in after he got the sacks full?

And get your hate off My Man Tony G. Sure, he’s no Vice Scully, and the announcing could have been better, but I think that we’re letting the results of the game cloud our evaluation.

The Cubs stunk.

I should know…I’ve seen the Pads pull the same tricks in the last few postseasons (rare as their appearances have been) that they somehow wound up in.

5 minutes? That was roughly how long it took Manny’s ball to come back to earth.

I timed five minutes on a couple of them last night…

@any major dude - I'll give Yaley one tiny bit of credit. He totally called out TBS for taking RIDICULOUSLY long commercial breaks. He mentioned that Marshall (I think) had basically been standing on the mound for several moments, waiting for the broadcast to come back. TBS is a shitty station to host postseason baseball. Anyone want to time the commercial breaks tonight?
