Kids play
Grass is green
Old people don't like loud music
Chocolate Chip Cookies are good
Cub fans say wait till next year.

All is well.

Soriano says "be patient."

I'm sure that went over very well in the Windy City.

Why is Schwa such an attention whore? Are there not enough Cub failure related threads?

Like there can BE such a thing?

If Sarah Palin is worth 10,000 posts a day, what's the ceiling on Cub posts?

Death of the Small Bears

Tipsheet would be remiss if it did not pile on the Chicago Cubs today.

By losing Saturday night in Los Angeles, they took an 0-3 powder in the National League Division Series and continued their epic World Championship drought.

Here is how some of our favorite pundits saw it:

Mike Downey, Chicago Tribune: “Well, thanks for watching, Chicago. Very sorry, Ron Santo. Too bad, Ernie Banks. Looks like it’s Groundhog Day all over again, Bill Murray. We know you’ve seen this before with those huge eyeglasses, Harry Caray, even from way up there where you are. Cubs lose. Been there, done this.”

Gene Wojciechowski, ESPN.com: “It wasn’t a collapse. ‘Collapse’ is too nice a word. A collapse would mean the Chicago Cubs actually showed up for the National League Division Series. It wasn’t a choke. A choke is what happened in 2003, when the Cubs were exactly five outs away from their first World Series in seven decades. A choke is when you blame someone sitting in Section 4, Row 8, Seat 113 of Wrigley Field. No, in some ways this latest Cubs playoff zombie film is worse than 2003’s, and it’s definitely worse than last year’s October three-and-out.”

Bill Plaschke, Los Angeles Times: “Cursed? It’s more like, quit. They have the best record in the National League over 162 games, yet they can’t show up for more than four postseason innings? They score the most runs in the National League during the season, yet they manage just six runs in three postseason games? They allowed the fewest unearned runs in the National League during the season, yet they commit six errors in three games? At times, it seemed the Cubs were trying not to win.”

Rick Telander, Chicago Sun-Times: “The Cubs didn’t just lose the NLDS as if they were in a hurry to start spring training. They lost it dully, totally, ridiculously with four days of play so bad, so uninspired, so stupid that they looked like a stooge team sent in from one of the television studios just over the hill.”

Greg Cote, Miami Herald: “Cubs fans are especially sad, having last won a World Series in 1908 and thinking they were destined to break the spell 100 years later. The good news? Cubs are early betting favorites to win it all in 2108.”

Do they bake cookies and have nice legs?

[Reggie Cleveland]

They need to get out of that ballpark. Change the uniforms. Start all over.

Seriously. The past is too great a weight, without question. Blow it up....almost literally.

Cubs can't win a game since Bartmen.

Maybe they need to have a public sucking of his phallis by pee pee hands.

Rooting against the Cubs is so much fun, because they always fail. I wish the Red Wings were this inept.

Unfortunately for St. Louis hockey fans, the Blues are.

100+ years of patience is evidently not enough.
