Major league OT: Say a prayer for the Cubs....

Whistle
1

The Marlins can have their moment later but there is a beauty to Wrigley Field matched only by grand old parks like Yankee Stadium and Fenway this time of year…

2

I’ll add a prayer of thanksgiving for the Red Sox coming from behind to force game 7.

3

Just curious: When did God get involved in altering the book on baseball games? :astonished:

4

The Book of Genesis:

In the BIG inning…

5

:laughing:

Leviticus 11:19 – And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and THE BAT.

6

God actually prefers hockey.

Job 37:10 - From the breath of God ice is made…

7

Is this leading up to a “Jesus saves … but Esposito scores on the rebound”…?

8

:sniffle: There is no joy in Wrigleyville, the mighty Cubbies have struck out. :sniffle:



But just wait 'til next year! :slight_smile:

Actually, say a prayer for that interference guy. He’ll be lucky if his house isn’t burnt to the ground my morning.

Only 4563 outs before the Cubs make it to the World Series. Woo.

On a related note, I hate the Fox NL announcers with a passion.

11

So do I. As a matter of fact, I hate the AL announcers as well. Generally, if the game is broadcast on the radio, I’ll turn that on and turn the sound off on my TV.
The Cubs unfortunately mentally lost the Series in the eighth inning of Game 6. Even when they were ahead for a while yesterday, they didn’t look as hungry as the Marlins did. And imagine how I feel about the Marlins: I am a Cleveland Indians fan!.. :smiling_imp:

12

Blame it all on Dusty. It was all his fault here too!!!

From Hero to Zero in 32 outs!

13

BA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-AH!

For me there’s a silver lining in all this, as a Chicago resident: at least I don’t have to commute home on trains jammed full of Cubs fans from the suburbs until next spring. So far I’ve been able to resist the urge to whack one of them with an aluminum low whistle, but I was near the limit of my patience during the NLCS.

It helped to listen to trad CDs on the way home.

And just try to play a session anywhere in town with the Cubs, Sox, Bulls, or Bears on the TV with drunken hooligans screaming their heads off, or asking you to play “Danny Boy” or “Irish Eyes”! :swear: Idiots.
