Too much tension. Mr. frazzled yells out anything important.

I'm afraid I'll have to do the same on election night.

Cub (verb) : To unavoidably gag in moments of pressure.
Usage: They had the game won before they 'cubbed' in the bottom of the 8th.
Derivation: from the name of a comically inept American Professional Baseball team who seem to always come up short in critical games and situations.

1984 NLCS clinch opportunity ... CHOKE.
2003 NLCS clinch opportunity #1 (game 6) ... CHOKE.
2003 NLCS clinch opportunity #2 (game 7) ... CHOKE.

Tonight, Game 7, 3-run lead in the 8th ... CHOKE (so far).

Cubs biggest NL rival is the St. Louis Cardinals.
Cubs biggest AL rival is the cross-town, south-side White Sox.

2003 - Cubs choked in epic fashion in game 6, 4 outs away and blamed a fan (Bartman)
2004 - Cards went to the World Series and Boston broke their "curse of the Bambino" (1918)
2005 - White Sox went to the World Series and broke their "curse of the Black Sox" (1919)
2006 - Cards went to the World Series and won it for the 10th time.
2011 - Cards went to the World Series and won it for the 11th time.

With this rain delay and extra innings though I do not think this could get any crazier...its getting close to the level of Game 6 in '75 or '11 series...
