And that's why they aren't one of my favorite Cub teams. They seemed to just be happy to make the playoffs. Honestly, Brant Brown catches that ball, we wrap things up on the last day of the season, Mark Clark doesnt pitch game 1 and we might have been competitive in that series. We were very competitive in the last 2 games of the series. Should have won game 2, could have won game 3. Yeah, and Giant fans can say had they won at Colorado there wouldn't have been a 163rd game of the season. Or had we won at Houston there wouldn't have been a 163rd game. I still remember Javy Lopez hitting that game-tying homer off of Tapani, who missed his location by four+ inches. Thats another thing, he shouldn't have been in to start the 9th, but pen members like Beck and Mullholland were so gassed trying to get the Cubs into the playoffs, Tapani had to keep going
