I didn’t get to watch every single game in the baseball playoffs. I didn’t really keep up with all the happenings with each playoff series. But since a week ago, there were two teams I was rooting for to make the world series. Both teams were the underdogs in both series but both had a really good chance of making it.

Unfortunately, the complete opposite happened. The Marlins made their way into Wrigley field and came out on top, so easily (in the 8th inning of the 6th game) that it seemed that the Cubs wanted to give it away. This is beside the fact that a brave, unknowing Cubs fan might have helped prevent the whole catastrophy. Yet, it’s inevitable that Chicago’s favorite losers remain such, and the new fish in the game make their catch once again.

I now see that the boys from the Bronx made the right play first and beat the Red Sox by one. If you are a Boston fan, your newest enemy is Aaron Boone. The lovable losers from Beantown come up short yet again.

Two teams who were the underdogs, two teams who just couldn’t make it happen. It’s almost a story written for big screen, yet the outcome is always the same. No matter how hard you try, the odds are always against you. Maybe next year.
