Tip your cap to Livan Hernandez! He pitched great!

He showed wicked stuff that fell right off the table! It takes a great pitcher to hold Soriano and Ramirez, two of the better hitters in the NL, totally in check. I also want to give a special shoutout to the board member who "guaranteed" there would be a Game 4 and Lou's decision would look great.

That's it for the angry, sarcastic part of the post. Now I would just like to be as sore a loser as possible. No congratulations, no head shaking about how "It just wasn't in the cards" or "Gosh darn, they just had our number." I don't think the Diamondbacks were a better team than the Cubs. Their offensive numbers were worse. Their defensive numbers were worse. Their pitching was worse. (All of this during the season). Who had the best OPS on the Diamondbacks? Eric Byrnes at .813? Give me a break. #2 and #3 starters Davis and Hernandez? A couple of high WHIP, ugly number stooges.

 

The Cubs should've beaten the Dbacks. That's why nearly everyone picked us. But the Diamondbacks were better prepared and better managed. I think the Cubs have done a horrible thing here. Going through the Diamondbacks and Rockies, the road through the NL to the World Series is as easy as it has been in many years. The Cubs had their chance to go to the World Series, a very good chance, and they flat out blew it. No lies to sugarcoat things. They blew it.
