Well, I'm drunk, but I need to put the CUBS season in perspective....
Well boys,,,,, it's almost 1:00am. I really am lost for words. My buddy, the brilliant baseball fan he is, was right. I talked to him around the 5th inning and he reminded me, though the cubs were winning, Wood had already had a pitch count over 80!!!! He knew that it was only time before his arm gave out. I knew then, he was right and it was over for our beloved cubs. I guess, to put it in perspective, If I was at the first cubs game during the snow and I looked down at the ivy that hadn't begun to grow, I would say to myself, Hell, if the Cubbies were in the 7th game of the national league champ. game, would I be proud of them? You bet your ASS!!!! I mean, they basically hung their whole series on two young pitchers. They did exetremely well. They got farther than the White Sox. They got father than the Cardinals. They got farther than the offensive force of the atlanta braves. I am sooooo proud to be a cubs fan. I was in a situation of being in the perfect spot. I sat upstairs at HI-tops. The owner said that the upstairs would be closing an hour after the game because the Cubs were scheduled to be there for a celebration party and I was invited to stay. Well, that didnt' happen. I usually have good luck in situations like that, but for once in my life I wasn't. I left the bar, walked for an hour to find a cab, and I ended up at Tavern on Rush talking with a Sox fan. The guy knew his shit. He respected the Cubs. My night ended when I was walking home and guess who I run into outside the Hunt Club? Steve Lyons.... Of course, being drunk, I look at him and said "mr. Lyons I'm a fan., and I then shook his hand. I said, I'm a huge cub fan and I'm depressed. He looked at me and said "what are you going to do"? Be proud, they had an amazing season. I end it with that. I am a PROUD CUBS Fan! I will Not hang my head in shame. I know it's an old saying, BUT WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR. WE WILL BE BACK
