Why is this amazing game so filled with sadness. WHY?

 

Joe Morgan: "With arm problems, you can never predict a pitcher's career."

[Sammy Sofa]

It's insane even just to compare the rosters of these two teams to see how they could not possibly be more different in terms of success and disaster.

OH GOD, THEY WERE SHOWING A SHOT OF WOOD WHEN HE SAID THAT.

[Sammy Sofa]

"Kerry Wood will turn 26 next week, though with the way he looked the other day you have to wonder just how good can he possibly get?!?"

[treebird]

if it wasn't clear, i made it to the bottom of the first before deciding this was too painful.

 

also, corey patterson's swing was somehow even loopier than i remembered. ugh. i don't understand how he hit .050.

[Sammy Sofa]

I really shouldn't keep watching this.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

It gets good at the end. It's the one where the Cubs almost blow it, the Yankees get it to 8-7 and get a pinch runner picked off first to end the game.

 

I do not understand how Joe Borowski ever retired an MLB hitter.

Patterson's line before ripping a standup RBI triple into the RF corner:

 

.322, 12 HR, 45 RBI

 

On June 3rd.

It's bonkers; it's this crazy, loopy thing that practically has a gully in the middle of it. HOW THE [expletive] DID ANYBODY THINK THAT WAS A GOOD THING.

A lot of sweat, and a little help from the pharmacy...

Pure sweat-power.

The first shot of Dusty made me go into a fugue state.

this is filling me with so many memories, and a general feeling of holy [expletive] this is what it was like to care about baseball

[imb]

not even through the first inning

 

1.) [expletive] you dusty

2.) love you mark

3.) weird goatee-era sammy sosa

4.) joe morgan has been straight up wrong like 9 times already

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Mark Prior alone overwhelms me with feelings of longing and despair.

crazy that it's essentially just a decade old but the onscreen graphics looks like they might as well be from 1985

[treebird]

3.) weird goatee-era sammy sosa

 

i loved that they were all like "man sammy has sucked this year maybe he will start being good soon" and then they put his numbers up and he's hitting like .288 with a .415 obp.

His stuff looks exactly as I remember it. Actually his breaking ball looked even nastier than I had remembered.

Just reading the posts before this and without clicking the YouTube link, I knew what game this was.

 

Sigh.

Full game from that brief period when Corey Patterson and Mark Prior were actually our star players and everything was coming together:

I was going to click that link, but then I thought it might be more enjoyable to stuff a rabid badger in my pants.

There will be a day that I relive those games. This is not that day.

[Soul]

We're going to have to periodically re-live these nightmares forever, aren't we.

[jersey cubs fan]

I know I was there the day before, but I cannot remember what I did for this game.
