The Cubs have never been two outs away from a championship and lost. There's no description for that pain. No one but Yankee fans know it.

The best team in baseball history gets swept in the 1954 series.
Herb Score has his HOF career shortened by a hit ball.
In 1993, players killed in a boat accident.
In 1994, their renaissance season is cut short by strike.
In 1995, one of the great teams in AL history is beaten by the Braves.
In 1996, the best team in the AL is beaten in the ALDS.
In 1997, the Indians are two outs away from a championship. Jose Mesa blows the save. Tony Fernandez boots the ball in the 11th to lose the title.
In 1998, the Indians blow a 2-1 lead in the ALCS.
In 2001, the Indians blow a 2-1 lead in the ALDS.
In 2005, the Indians collapse in the final week of the season, sending Ozzie Guillen to make a choke sign to the fans on the final day.
In 2007, the Indians blow a 3-1 lead in the ALCS.

Whew.

Makes Kermit's heart glad.

 

He still hasn't called anyone chief.

 

Shut up, chief.

 

Or told anyone to DIAF.
