Q: What's Worse Than Getting Beat By 14?

A: Getting beat by one, at home, in the ninth, when your closer blows a 3-1 lead, against arguably your biggest current division rival, causing you to lose the series, after Bob Uecker sings "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" and says Brewers instead of Cubbies, before heading to St. Louis for a tough series against the division leaders, kicking off a tough month against the best in the West and the rest of the NL Central, in front of a bunch of worthless fans who decided throwing garbage and beer at Ryan Braun was a good idea, on a beautiful spring afternoon, the day one of your biggest stars returns to the lineup, your best pitcher throws a gem, the opposing starter appears to tear every tendon in his leg but returns to the hill, your catcher withstands a collision at home plate with Prince Fielder, and your manager nearly erupts into a classic tirade with the media after the game.

Also, of note.... sayonara Derrick Turnbow. Thanks for the saves back when you were good. Too bad we did not get the roll of nickels you were worth before last season.  Now, we may have to pay someone to take you off our hands. Best of luck. Regards. Etc, etc.

Well said....When SI.com did their polling of MLB ballparks, the Cubs ranked at the bottom for hospitality, I'm thinking they got that category mixed up with Fan IQ.

they also rank at the bottom for crapiest fields. no lie. this was before they redid it, but i doubt things have changed.
