You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein

I mean aside from the general poor play, lack of clutch hitting, poor decisions by Lou, being Gregged, and Aaron Miles’ presence on the roster.

it has something to do with the fact that we either stink at small ball in these parks
or Lou refuses to play small ball—or some combination of the two. But mediocre defense defense help in these kinds of parks either (replay first run from tonight).

I've seen the Axe "promotional team" around Wrigley a few times...
a bunch of umm… “healthy” girls walk around all dressed the same (short shorts, tight t-shirts, etc.) handing out free samples of that crap as if to say “see? just put this on and you can have a shot at a girl like me”.
Yeah, right…
What they should do is have one person hand out free samples, even offer to dab you behind the ears. Then the rest of the umm… “healthy” girls should walk by a few minutes later, in cognito, i.e. ordinary clothes, and go absolutely bonkers over you. At that point you might think to yourself – “hmm… maybe this stuff does work…”

This is the kind of stuff that every team in the league managed to do to us, but we could never pull off.

And we seemed to hit one of those every other game last year

I am actually fond of the Giants
and I listened to the post game with sympathy but well they can wait until next year too. I remember a funny column from the 89 series about how try as they might no one could find any real enmity between either the teams or the fans of the teams. I was pissed about losing but I hold no ill will towards the Giants or their fans.

Colorado might be starting a nice little slide (L2) and the Cubs can take care of the Giants, but Atlanta and Florida aren’t cooperating yet . And even St. Louis could still choke.
It’s like being 3 down in a 7 game series, the Cubs have no room for mistakes, and need a bit of luck – The fat lady may have cleared her throat, but she ain’t singin’…
