So this is what it sounds like when doves cry. My heart is broken for so many reasons. The "fan" shouldn't have tried to catch the ball; the dumb asshole shortstop shouldn't have made an error; they should have won. I am jaded and really sick and fucking tired of saying, "Maybe next year." Even though the Cubs' season was improbable, nay, remarkable, I truly believe they are cursed. Fuck. I am jaded.

Eric and Aaron, I apreciate your empathy. It is crappy when your team gets so close then pulls the rug out from under you.

The front page of the LA Times really says it all. Okay, now I am over it.
