Deja Vu All Over Again
Cubs Fans-
You’re thrilled. You’ve been running around all day getting Old Style, Cubs napkins, baseball plates, red and blue streamers… maybe even some sort of pin the tail on the Piniella party game. You are ready. But tonight’s TV broadcast on TBS is sure to be annoying at times. So please, allow me to lower your expectations before they rise too high. We are in for 3-5 games of the following:
- 100 Year Drought Talk. Hey, did you guys know the Cubs haven’t won in 100 years? Maybe TBS will play a montage of things invented since 1908! I bet there’s a really old, cute Cubs fan you could put the
camera on now.
- Manny Being Manny. Face it. You’re about to hear that phrase a million times. Get a hair cut, hippie.
- Possible RedLine Series! Possible RedLine Series!
- One time, there was this guy named Steve Bartman…. Get ready to hear about him after every foul ball to the left field seats.
- What is this baseball game that TBS keeps showing between these Frank TV ads I’ve tuned in to watch?
- Zambrano threw a no hitter but boy is he emotional!
- Joe Torre Vs. Lou Piniella: who has the harder to spell last name?
- Celebrity Cubs Fans Vs. Celeb Dodger Fans. Special sidebar: do the Cubs fans also root for the Sox?
That’s what we have to look forward to. Me? I’m gonna watch on mute and listen to the radio, which I’m sure you’re about to hear was not invented in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the World Series.

I think Sneetch jinxed it.
Sneetch reversing the jinx is the answer.

Don’t forget the even more tired old horse, “Ron Santo is not in the Hall of Fame. He should be in the Hall of Fame. Don’t you think he should be in the Hall of Fame?”
“Yes,” partner replies, “he should be in the Hall of Fame.”
(Cut to shot of Santo broadcasting)
“There’s Ronnie. Wonder which toupee he’s wearing tonight. That’s not the one that caught on fire, is it?”

Sneetch - Deja Vu…come on!
Couldn’t you have thought of a better title?!
Z will redeem the team and even the score!

The Cubs are down 0-2 and are not playing good baseball. It is disappointing, I know. I went to game two and was astounded by how many people left in the 7th inning. I stayed to the end. I always do. Not only because I still have hope, but because I appreciate baseball. Each game, each play. Each time Theriot gets on base my eyes widen with anticipation. While some fans in the stands are talking about “beating the rush out”, the only thing on my mind is if Lou is going to send him to second. The enjoyment I get from baseball is the struggle of watching both Lee at the plate, and Theriot’s 6ft lead off first. Take each play for what its worth. We get to watch our Cubs play at least 3 games more than the fans of 28 other teams. Celebrating victories and championships is fun, but so is an amazing Jim Edmonds catch, or Soriano assist, or Rich Harden fastball to end the inning. I am going to watch game three because I am a Cubs fan, and I enjoy baseball.

Deja Vu all over again… anyone say Arizona Diamondbacks?
Swept, pathetic one measly run. Soriano didn’t even show up, Lou was right they should have just “stayed in Chicago”.
Totally sickening series, so much for the MLB rigging the series for the Cubs…101 years. Maybe there will be a Dalmation Day next year at Wrigley.
