Can The Cubs Ever Just Win A Normal Game?

The Chicago Cubs led 8-3 going into the top of the ninth Monday night against the Colorado Rockies. And then, the suck that is the Chicago bullpen did what it does best, letting the Mile High Club pile on six runs to take a 9-8 lead. After the Troy Tulowitzki three-run homer that scored runs seven through nine, a flabbergasted fan rushed the field to berate Cubs reliever Bob Howry. The fan, who really can't be found at fault in all this, was brought down by a flying tackle from security guard Anton Migursky while apparently trying to call for time. Miraculously, however, the Cubbies were able to recover from their colossal collapse with two outs in the bottom of the ninth when Kaz Matsui bungled a ground ball, failing to end the game. With the bases now loaded, Soriano The Great got his first hit of the contest, a two-run single that won the near travesty some might call a baseball game. Afterwards, when asked about his would-be attacker, Howry said, "He said, 'What are you doing?' I said, 'I'm out here trying to give up home runs. What do you think?'" Unfortunately, Howry was completely serious.
