Was This Worse?
Fellow Cub fans, did anyone share a horrifying flashback of sorts as Albert Pujols' missile took off into orbit in last night's ninth inning? It was surreal how quiet the crowd became right after that. What a kick in the groin! One strike away from the Promised Land with Brad Lidge in command, and a few minutes later it was back to St. Louis.
Was this worse than the Cubs in 2003?
The easy answer will be "no" if the Astros go to St. Louis and win a game to get to their first World Series. However if they fail, this collapse will be discussed in all the same conversations about October failure that usually are headlined by the Cubs of two years ago. Because of the Yankees history of success, they seem to get more of a pass on last year's demise after being up 3-0.
How do you feel - where will this one rank?
