LCS craziness

how in the world? cubs v. red sox - each team 5 outs from making one of the most intriguing world series matchups occur, with their ace pitchers on the mound, and yet somehow both teams mess it up. i absolutely agree with the sports guy's assessment of what happened in both series. it wasn't "that fan's" fault (though an extra out would've been nice). blame it on alex gonzalez's bobble of a double play and dusty baker leaving prior in there too long. once the marlins got the lead in game 7, the tide never really came back to the downtrodden cubs. all can be blamed on grady little for going out to the mound and not coming back with pedro. yeah let pedro pitch to switch hitting bernie, but why in the world matsui? and then posada? when the gas tank is empty, fumes only go so far. well, i'll still enjoy the world series and though i'll be rooting for the nl, i fully expect the yankees to sweep unless beckett can sneak a win and push it to 5 games.
