I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings.

Maybe this game could be our "something else." Here's hoping, anyway.
I don’t believe in curses or jinxes, but I do believe that a franchise (or even a city of franchises) can pass a point with its fans at which they expect bad things to happen — always, without fail — and the players almost get contaminated by that negative energy. Sadly, there’s no way to stop it; no pill to take, no exorcism to be had. It has to happen organically. For Red Sox fans, it was the Roberts steal. For Cleveland fans, Cubs fans and Bills fans, it will be something else. But it WILL be something else. It’s just the law of averages. There is no infinity button for failing in sports. At some point, things turn. They always do. — Bill Simmons

Do you think the Sox fans miss Javier Vazquez?

In a Jason Marquis kind of way? Not the greatest pitcher in the world, but you pretty much knew what you were going to get from him?

Hairston had hit a lead-off double right before that.

Steve Stone talking to Sugar Ray Leonard

Quite an odd coupling.

Sugar Ray Leonard's commentary

Obscures Chris Getz’s lead-off walk in the 7th.

Arroyo just got to 100 pitches - looks to be tiring.
