I’m just kidding, the Cubs are not going to win the World Series this year. To make myself feel better about every sad,depressing, and demoralizing season I always say “Next year will be the year” every single year, to no avail. Many know us as the “lovable losers”, in reality we are a sad and rare people, the Cubs fans. Fun food for thought: Did you know some people have lived long (not quite fulfilled) lives and died not seeing the Cubs win a World Series? Now, some might call it quits, and hop on the Josh Hamilton band wagon. Maybe even give NASCAR a shot, but true Cubs fans embrace this adversity. Not willingly of course, it takes copious amounts of alcohol at games and more soul food than the Food Network can show. This bonds us together, makes every win feel like the last goal from the movie Miracle. I am a Cubs fan, I am still bitter at my best friend for turning me into one at a young age, and I will make sure that my kid will never know this pain. Just a heads up America; when we win, which we will, You will have a riot in Chicago the likes of this world have never seen. Followed by so, so much crying.
