"How long, O Lord?"
If the other shoe drops on your head while you're alone in the forest so that no one can hear you scream, are you still in agony? Oh, yeah.
I cannot believe the Dodgers swept the Cubs in the NLDS. The only explanation I have for it is that despite everything Lou Pinella did to keep the Cubs from feeling the weight of 100 years of Cubs fans' expectations, the Cubs carried that load. There's on other rational reason that Gold Glove-caliber infielders made 4 total errors in Game 2. There's no other rational reason that one of the best power hitting line-ups in the major leagues scored a measly 6 runs in 3 games. There's no other rational reason the pitching staff on the winningest team in the National League this year gave up 20 runs in 3 games.
Either that, or Manny Ramirez is Samson in reverse--the more he trimmed his hair after he got traded to Los Angeles, the more the Dodgers won.
I'd be crying in my beer if I had any.
Somewhere the sun is shining; somewhere children play and shout,
But there is no joy in Wrigleyville--the Cubbies have struck out. Again.

Job had better luck than a Cub fan.

True. The Bible does say that Job eventually got his happy ending, getting back everything that had been taken from him. No such luck for us!
