i'm hoping he doesn't... i don't think any good would come out of it if he does..

sigh....cubbies lost, but the marlins had to fight to get it.

Go marlins, they withstood every cubs comeback at their place and still won.

Shows how much things have changed - Kent Mercker started two games in the 99 series, including Game One - what I wouldn't give for a repeat of that.

Also...the Globe had as the front cover of its Playoff section today a cartoon, with Darth Vader (Steinbrenner's face) fighting Luke Skywalker (Theo Epstein's face).

i'm still laughing about all the bets that are being placed between the mayors and others right now... you know it's going to be a great series when that happens..

Usually, you'd look at blowtorch bullpen specialist Antonio "El Pulpo" Alfonseca and think he was at fault here, but there was a big breakdown within the entire bullie.

I also enjoy the "Game 1 Starter: Tim Wakefield" conundrum . . . which is this:

Wake usually gets pounded by the Yankees - see the time Jose Canseco hit a 3-run homer onto the turnpike, completely ending the sox season in 2001, etc etc. But this season, his numbers are really good against the Yanks - so am I happy to see this? I can't decide.

And - even worse - tonight, I get 'regional coverage' of the Cubbies game. I think i'm going to have a heart attack.

Weren't you supposed to come to chicago sometime soon? You should come now because there are so many wasted bandwagon cubs fans on the northside of the city and this team attracts very good looking girls.

The Janquis-Red Sox are going to be on FX. And people wonder why baseball is No. 2 and dropping. You don't put a historic, storied rivalry on the second-team cable channel.
