For all the Cubs accomplishments this season the Cubs season ended with a whimper not a bang. All the high hopes me and other Cubs fans had. All the hoopla about how this was the Cubs year. I believed all that. I still believe that and to see what happened tonight against the Dodgers is the ultimate insult to Cubs fans everywhere.
I hope the players, particularly Soriano is ashamed of himself. He was supposed to get the Cubs over the hump but his last bat has to go down as an example of how not to hit in the 9th inning with your team trailing, When I go over this game, I see so many opportunities for the Cubs to have taken the lead, Opportunities squandered.
Soto's double with no men out. Derrek Lee's double. So many chances for the Cubs to have won this game and extended their season. But in the end 1 run of 8 hits. Pathetic clutch hitting. I hate saying that as a Cubs fan for 30 years but the players did not come through when it counted.
I do not know why, or what happened to this team in the post season but this sense of utter disappointment is difficult to live with. It feels like investing all your time and energy in a friend only to have them spit in your face and run away with your girl. (Sorry for the shaky analogies I am feeling pretty shitty now.)
Imagine what it is like to have your heart broken into two every year. That is what it's like to be a Cubs fan. I am mixed with disappointment, anger, sadness, self pity, and frustration. The Cubs broke my heart. Again, But I will be rooting for them just as hard next year. Again. Life is silly like that.
