Oh the Agony of Defeat in the Cubs Fans Faces

It was sweet watching the agony of defeat in the faces of the Cubs fans on TV last night. They were down to the last strike and could have won 3-of-4 from the first place Cardinals.

Instead, it is a split and Jhonny Peralta comes up big with a homer run.

It was a roller coaster game as when the Cardinals scored four off of Richard I felt good about the game. Then Wacha lost a few and the Cardinals imploded on some strike calls. Then we came back for the win!

How sweet it is!
