Ok, ok, you were a fucking bat boy. Whooopdeee fucking dooooo. In '03. I called off work for two days str8 after the collapse with Florida. I was too depressed to function. I stayed in a depression for 2 weeks straight, where the first thing I thought of after the alarm was the Cubs. EVERYDAY.

The 135/162 games was keeping it simple w/o going into every pathetic detail of my fandom.

When Santo and Banks talk about the glory of Wrigley and being a Cub on those sappy ass WGN specials, I cry. When I hear the Eddie Vedder song, I cry. When I think of the fans who have languished a lifetime, a FUCKING LIFETIME, w/o seeing this team win a WS, I cry.

All day before game 1 of this god forsaken series, I was on the Cubs message board sharing these sentiments w/ others, just like me. Got teary eyed all day.

I'm sure you love the Braves. But comparing that city to Chicago, comparing that team (how many postseasons??? 15 straight?) to my the Cubs, comparing those fucked up fair weather fans to the Cubs fans across THE COUNTRY, that is a fucking joke. As is you telling me I don't know what "investing in a team" is. The Cubs are my religion and spirituality these days. I just found out Santa Claus wasn't real.

You can take all that...and shove it up your ass...til you smell it.

You don't know shit about me.

Let's go Cubbies.
