Two of my favorite teams were vying for the World Series, and both looked like strong contenders...until yesterday. The Red Sox had a tough loss to the Yankees, leaving them 3-2 in the ALCS, while the Cubs just lost their composure after one little incident. They looked like shoe-ins, and now have a tough game to play against the Marlins today.
Yesterday was nothing but heartbreak. From the close Red Sox loss, to the simply unbelievable eighth inning for the Cubs, yesterday was rough. But the Cubs game...that was just hurtful. And by hurtful, I mean terrible to watch. Mark Prior pitched an absolutely stunning two hitter shut out through the seventh, only for it all to go awry. The curses, it seems, continue to fight. I sat in stunned silence as the eighth inning unfolded in all its monstrous glory.
Both teams have a hell of a fight today, to battle back from mediocrity to seize the prize. Can they do it, or will it be yet another crushing, crushing day?
