Well, when you're pissed off and shitfaced after a humiliating loss, turning over some cars and starting some fires can seem like a rational thing to do.
Don't. Just don't.
If they didn't after 2003, why would they now? Don't embarrass yourself being an ass. Chicago isn't exactly known for sports riots. Fans stayed til the bitter end. There were no controversial calls, it wasn't even a close game. No one is rioting. There's just no reason to.
Congrats, Headache. Very happy for you. No problem saying the Mets played a great series. Hope they win it all. I especially hope it manages to be against the Jays, too. Should be a lot of fun either way. The Mets fielding was really phenomenal during the series. Not to say the pitching want good, but the Cubs were making contact, there just ALWAYS seemed to be a Met right there to stop it.
I hope the Cubs make some smart, great moves in the off-season. No knee-jerk reactions, please. A pitcher, maybe a catcher, and a couple better bench players might be good.
If I were to pinpoint a turning point in the post season, I'd say it was Russell getting hurt. A lot of plays defensively that Baez missed I'm pretty confident Russell wouldn't have. Probably looking at a Gold Glover in a year or two.
I also hope that the older Rizzo gets, the more he matures as a captain. He started to lose his cool early in this series and that translates.
But, in general, no real complaints. The holes are pretty clearly exposed, but they can be fixed. The Cubs can definitely return next year, and possibly for the next few.
I'm happy, overall. I'm so excited to see what happens next.
But first, World Series, bitches!
Oh, and if Montero is going to remain a catcher with this team, I hope to God he stops double clutching on throws to third. His batting average may be in the tank, but there's certainly reasons to admire a catcher like Ross for his defense.
