Im amused at a couple of recent posts Ive seen from Chicago Cubs fans who seem to find great joy in a St. Louis Cardinals loss in post season. Let me just point out a couple things about those posts. First, I think its understandable that rooting for a team like the Cubs, who are on a 107-year losing streak, would prompt a person to make some outrageous comments. I dont take exception with your remarks because obviously you dont know anything about October baseball so you cant join the conversation and you must feel left out. So, sadly all thats left for you to do is sit on the sidelines and lob a few bombs once in a while. I also dont take it personal because I know your focus has been on Da Bears and not baseball since early August (when the Cubs were mathematically eliminated from post season ... again) and you are really at a loss to talk baseball this late in the year. So, no hard feelings on my part about your childish comments. But, I did want to remind you that you can catch the Cards again tomorrow in the NLCS (I know thats four words you have probably never uttered, but it stands for National. League. Championship. Series.) You get there by winning the NLDS (stands for National. League. Division. Series.) The way this works, if a team can win its division or the wild card, and then win the NLDS and the NLCS they get to play in an event called the W-O-R-L-D S-E-R-I-E-S. Its a great event, in fact the Cubs won it for the last time in 1908. Gosh, thats 45 years before I was born and Im an old man. UGGH! And speaking of the World Series ... heres a quick baseball question for all my Cubs friends. Question: What does the World Series and a sterile grizzly bear have in common? Answer: NO CUBS! And finally (tossing a little fuel on the fire) let me close by saying ... Go Cards! ;-)
