]]> Many baseball experts had the Chicago Cubs as the favorites to win the 2008 World Series. Cubs fans were also hopeful that the 100-year curse could finally be over. Those hopes, however, will have to wait another year.

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cubs on Saturday to successfully complete a 3-0 sweep. The Dodgers, who won the game 3-1, will move on to face the winner of the Philadelphia Phillies and the Milwaukee Brewers series. The Phillies currently lead that series 2-1.

The video of the Cubs getting swept will be hard for Cubs fans to stomach. Rich Harden, who the Cubs traded for in the middle of the season, was unimpressive — lasting only 4.1 innings. Alfonso Soriano was 0-5 and hit just .071 in the series.

For the Dodgers, their main star was starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda. Kuroda, who was born in Japan, pitched 6.1 scoreless innings and also struck out four cubs. Manny Ramirez was 1-for-2 with two walks and a run, while James Looney had two big RBIs.

Luckily for the Cubs and their fans, there is always next year.

]]> Check out this hilarious video of a Cubs fan in Wrigley Field. This Cubs fan caught a ball in his beer cup and then chugged the beer with the ball still in the cup. Talk about a true baseball fan!

The amazing part of this video is it appears that the whole incident was done on purpose. The ball was thrown from on the field and the Cubs fan caught it in his cup — barely losing a drop. It’s truly a video to watch to get a good laugh.

Watch the Cubs fan video here and see him catch a baseball with a beer cup:
