We suffered, we endured and we surpassed. I cringe thinking about what's going to happen if the Cubs ever win another series.

Tell me about it, I remember when it was something special just to make the postseason, now fans are calling for blood if they don't win it all every year.
I was never so disappointed in Sox fans as when I saw people flooding out of Fenway in the 08 ALCS against the Rays, you could tell who the real fans are because they stayed and sat in the stands looking miserable but never gave up. Times change I suppose but I hope we fans don't wind up going Yankee and just expect a world series every single year.
Anyway yeah it gets so easy to get wrapped up in, something you cheer for and hope for so much year after year and then watching the whole thing fall apart only to be let down again...the following year you just want it that much more and it grows into some kind of obsession...I don't know I can never put this into words but after awhile it just comes to mean so much more then just another game.
Those poor Cubs fans huh? I think this coming season will be year 102 since they last won a Series...its to a point where if the Red Sox are out of the running I start supporting them just hoping their poor fans won't have to suffer any more.
