Karma 1, Cubs 0

Remember last October, when everyone was talking about karma, and how it felt like it was finally on the Cubs' side this time, and that was great because karma had always been the prettiest girl in  school and the Cubs had always been the nerdiest nerd?

Well ...

Welcome back to Nerdsville, Cubbies.

Not because you're down 2-0 in the NLCS, mind you. Because of how it happened.

How it happened was a walkoff three-run homer by Justin Turner in Game 2 last night, which handed the Dodgers a 4-1 win. It was only the second walkoff postseason jack in Dodgers' history. The first, of course, was the most famous postseason walkoff in baseball history, Kirk Gibson's "I Can't Believe What I Just Saw" homer in the 1988 World Series.

Turner's blast?

Happened 29 years later to the day.

Karma.
