That's why.
You will not find in over three years of writing, a half million typed words on this blog but a small handful of posts regarding our city's baseball teams, hardly a word. The way I figure it, anybody crazy enough to follow and root for the Cubs year after long year could never be taken seriously as a political current event blogger or writer looking to establish any credibility whatsoever as am I.After going all season long in first place in the National League Central Division they are on the brink of being swept right out of the playoffs in the first three possible games, losing two here at home and probably the third on Saturday if my dire prediction is correct. Being born into CubDom through childhood, teen years and through young adulthood I was a die hard sports fan all across the board right into my thirties, which began in 1994, where we fans absorbed one great season or two major collapses (1969 & 1984) during that long 29 year
span.By '94 I had finally had enough punishment and pushed baseball to the backburner of priorities in my life and haven't regretted one minute of it since then, as I'm afraid the team for whatever reasons are simply perrenial failures, and although sometimes fun to go to a game at Wrigley with friends for the atmosphere and good times, life is just too short for that much unnecessary punishment.
This year I feel particularly bad for all those fans who put in their tears, sweat and dollars towards this team all summer as they did a few years back during 2003, the year of poor Steve Bartman (pic on the right) dreaming of the broken curses and all the rest are going to be screwed again by both the Cubs and likely the Sox.
And so ends another summer in Chicago Sports, time for the Bears punishment to begin and sad to say I haven't left that bandwagon as at least they delivered big time in '85 and almost did 2 years ago so I'll keep cheering them on I think for at least the foreseeable future.
Can you say 'The End?"... I knew you could.....Cubs thumped by Dodgers again, on cusp of heartbreak --
chicagotribune.com: "The volume was pumped up considerably Thursday night at the start of Game 2 of this National League Division Series at Wrigley Field, after Wednesday's crowd sat on its hands most of the night.
'I thought it was a corporate crowd [Wednesday] night,' manager Lou Piniella said. 'Playoffs.'
It may have been a different type of crowd that came out to Wrigley Field for the first two games against Los Angeles, but it definitely was the same old Cubs.
Carlos Zambrano and the infield defense fell apart during a five-run second inning of an 10-3 loss to the Dodgers, putting the Cubs in a 2-0 hole as the series heads to Los Angeles for Saturday night's Game 3." CONTINUED
