Cub fan here at work (who didn't like baseball last year) was at the game last night.
I heard him telling someone how "...so Carray gets up in the 14th -- says 'hey, 2 for the price of 1...lets get some runs!' and launches into another 7th inning stretch!!"
He was telling it like it was a great story and some kinda magical moment. The other guy was eating it up too...saying "Wow - that's great!"
No mention by either guy about the Cubs blowing the game with the 2 unforgiveably dumb baserunning blunders that flat-out cost them the game in the 10th...or the ball DeSheilds shoulda caught...or Sammy taking dumb swings at balls that almost looked like pitches you'd see during an intentional walk.
He probably doesn't even know any of that happened. To him (and many other Cub fans), it was probably just a tough loss that coulda gone either way, but it's okay cause (they think) the Cubs are still in 1st by a game or two.
This is the same guy who, on Monday, was asking everyone if they were "gonna watch the Cubbies tonight" even though they didn't have a game on Monday!
