Anger Never Takes a Holiday

Well done Cubbies. Just add it to everything else you've done.


After the Cubs were swept from the playoffs, the water pipe in the visitor's dugout immediately sprang a leak. The official story is that the plumbing just had an issue. Obviously, the timing is impeccable. You have to think that a Cubs player took a bat to it in frustration. Jim Hendry appearently said:

Find out how much it cost, and we'll pay for it.

You don't just pay for things like that if you did nothing to cause it. If you did nothing, you probably want the Dodgers to replace balls or bats that might have been ruined. Anyway, it just goes to show you how angry people get over a game. When Tom Glavine put things in perspective after Game 162 last season, people criticized him. The thing is that he was right. You don't have to throw a hissy-fit when you lose. And I thought the days of 'Roid Rage were over.
