« The Pain | Main | Cubs Win! »

Argh

I can't begin to quantify how frustrating the Cubs' loss yesterday was. Aside from the fact that they're killing us with the suspense, their loss and subsequent necessity for game five means two very annoying, very irritating things to me, personally.

First, as mentioned previously, it means I have to sit through one more game on Fox. Let me just say that from here on out, I would like the Cubs to sweep since the games will all be on Fox now. Watching the games on ESPN is like a breath of air after being dead for thirteen centuries. Watching the games on Fox is like being gang raped by a race of tentacle aliens and then finding out that your girlfriend is in love with one of them.

Second, and more importantly, Fox decided to schedule the Cubs game at the same time as the USA-Germany semi-final game of the Women's World Cup. These are both critical games, and I'm equally vested in both of them. The only positive aspect of this, perhaps, is that I'll be able to just switch to the soccer game during all the Fox commercial breaks.

So, Go USA! Go Mia, Shannon, and Briana!

Go Cubbies! Go Sammy! And Go Kerry!
