Just one of these things has to be different for us to at least be in extra innings: -The Pena double is instead a grand slam, like it would have been in any other ball park. -The Pirates don't get that dinky single in the 9th. -Soriano or Soto gets the run in after Pena hit the double -Byrd actually drives the ball to get the run in in the 9th And other stuff that probably would have helped. But of course, everything goes perfectly against the Cubs and we lose. I try to be rational and not believe in any curses, but after dealing with this [expletive] time and time again, I need something to blame. God [expletive] damnit.
