It seems appropriate that the Cubs season ended on an Alfonso Soriano check-swing. It reflected the Cubs' performance in the postseason: half-assed. It showed again Saturday night as the Cubs failed to produce any offense and lost to the Dodgers, 3-1, and were eliminated from the 2008 playoffs.

After a sharp start to the night, the Cubs booted the game away (literally) in the second inning and never recovered as the Dodgers topped the Cubs again, 10-3. The Dodgers now have a two-games-to-none lead in the series and the Cubs are one game away from being swept from the playoffs in the first round for the second straight year. more ›
