Those lucky Dodgers, leading a charmed life and enjoying outrageously good fortune.

 

The Dodgers thought they were playing the Cardinals in the 2009 NL Division Series.

 

Instead, the Chicago Cubs showed up again.

 

Last October, the Dodgers swept the Cubs in three games, swiftly but cruelly destroying the inflated hopes of a cursed franchise. It was predictable.

 

This October, the Dodgers have a chance to sweep the Cardinals, who have inexplicably turned into the Cubs, right before your disbelieving eyes. And that was unpredictable.

Hmmmm..... no mention about how the Dodgers are getting as lucky as the Cardinals.

Making themselves feel better by taking a shot at us. Cute.

Yeah, that's a pretty douchy thing to do by Miklasz there. And that's exactly what he was doing. Awww, our prized OF screwed up and Mizzou [expletive] themselves and it's rained 27 inches here in the last 24 hours. Let's deflect and point and laugh at the Cubs!

[Little Slide Rooter]

No mention of how the best hitter in baseball is playing like Aaron Miles?

[TarzanJoeWallis]

It is somewhat true though. After the game last night I told my sons that Cardinals fans just got a little taste of what it is like to be Cubs fan.

St Louis went 0-3 on it's epic sports day. I had a major smile on when I went to class today. Now if only my paper would write itself. I think the best part about this is I have a bet with a friend that the Cards would get swept, ten bucks to win a hundred. The fact that they lost in such Cublike fashion yesterday makes it that much better.

 

Cards Suck, Blues Suck, Mizzou Suck.

Bernie is a troll and y'all are taking the bait.

Wrong.

 

He didn't write that for us. That would be trolling. He wrote that for you.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

The article title trolls cards fans too.

Well, they HAVE looked very Cub-like the last 2 games. It's a fair comparison.

My brother said Holliday did a "Soriano", a HR and dropped ball in the same game.

Bernie Miz is one of the few writers that will occasionally say something anti-Card in his column. And his comparison IS fair.

 

What grinds me is that LA is gonna go to philly and get their brains beat out. This whole season has been meaningless for Chicago and St. Louis.

 

Here's hoping that Lou gets some fire back next year, and that LaRussa is fired! That would salvage SOMETHING for me.

Only half of that bothers me.

OMFG somebody do something about this please!

Haha. I can actually agree with that.

After the Deadbirds sweep, the season is not totally meaningless for Cub fans.

Bernie Miklasz, a man who looks like an old lesbian.

[Grit amp Heart]

Man he's fat. It almost makes me feel sorry for him. Then he writes stuff like this.

Don't feel sorry for him. Sleight of fate does not make one a 400 pound sack of blubber.

[NCCubFan]

Three years in a row that the NL Central champion got swept out of the first round by the NL West champion. I think I see a pattern here.

Newspapers? Uh, they've only got one at this point and that one is pretty bad. Bad news for Miklasz-the free pressbox buffet is closed until April. Jenny Craig Time!
