Baseball is my escape from the ugly in life, so I do tend to turn a blind eye and deaf ear to anything but the game itself, and I try to let the past fade into the past. Baseball is very much about today's game and just that.<br /><br />I also love an underdog and tend to shy away from dynasty teams, so I'm delighted and tickled the WS is going to be Indians vs Cubbies.<br /><br />I was rooting Cubs through the NLCS, but I'll be rooting for Cleveland, a fellow AL-C team, in the WS!

But every time I watch Catching Hell, my heart breaks for Steve. He was such an easy target for a bunch of fans, the vast majority of which, would have done the exact same thing Steve Bartman did. The Cubs choked, period. With the way those fans acted, frankly, they don't deserve a championship. I for one, hope the Cubs don't win anything for a long long time. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
