Whoever did this Cubs 08 VDO trib should get an Academy Award

For most heartwrenching Video of The Year.

I couldn't resist it .. I just couldn't. I dug around in YouTube for a bit looking for 2008 Cubs highlights. This video clip was among the hundreds, among many that rambled on about goats, curses, Marty Brenneman, etc. 

It had the Eddie Vedder song on it, which I haven't had the stomach to listen to since the playoffs began .. because the song ultimately is a song about yearning and fulfillment, love and commitment to a journey. This is not a song a Cub fan waiting for 100 years to end wants to hear .. that "SOME DAY we'll go all the way .."

It's great to watch, and it was done clearly with an eye on keeping us all believing in the journey's end, but I have to be honest with you .. tonight, since the loss last week, as I watched this, I had to fight back tears.  This one all but dug my heart out with a spoon.

But it's a great video: if you haven't seen it here it is
