That's 100 years of futility. A combined 6 runs scored against the artful LA Dodgers' 20 in a three-game sweep. Alfonso Soriano 1-14, Aramis Rodriguez 2-11, Geovany Sotto 2-10, and Kosuke Fukudome 0-8. Nine men stranded on base.Everyone is trying to second guess Lou Piniella and write the ultimate eulogy for the Chicago Cubs.
Welcome to the Chicago Cubs' annual wake.
All is quiet in Wrigleyville. My friends are comatose. Cubbie blue in the worst possible way. You 
know it's bad when two of my good friends who live in the Windy City are almost online 24-7. You think the Curse of the Billy Goat is running through their minds? For the 29th time in my friends' 35 years on Planet Earth they're sad and devastated by another post-season collapse. It's a good thing that the Bears have come out of hibernation and the White Sox have a game yet in them or else Chicago might be a Ghost Town.

Two division titles don't mean squat here. They're far from a consolation prize.
It was supposed to happen. The came James Loney's Grand Slam in Game One and the oh-ohs turned into a lump in the throat.
Yeah, hopefully... it will happen.
