Just some personal thoughts.....

As most of us I felt very positive about this season and what the Cubs could do with it.  And having the bitter taste of last post season still in my mouth, I was ready for what this team could and should do, and that is winning the World Series. 

I started the season with a promise to myself; I would NOT miss a single Cubs game, something that I set out because I wanted to see this miraculous season unfold and be a part of every single game.  I went as far as to purchase the MLB radio so I could catch the games at work and would always see every game when I was at home.  I did not fulfill this goal as I had a few meetings at work that did not allow me to see the games but would watch the replay if it was on CSN.  All in all I devoted myself to this team and this season.

We made some great moves in the off season and some great pick ups and trades that made this team feel like it was the best we have seen.  We set new marks, broke/set major league records, saw a no-hitter, and even great come from behind wins.  This season was amazing and one that I will never forget.

As we sit here on the brink of elimination in what we all thought would be “The Year” please don’t give up.  We have two pitchers going that are good and could pull this off and help us reach our goal.  Yes last nights game was hard to watch and is still hard to swallow, but we are not last year’s team and we started to show some light in the 9th inning. 

Last night I was so frustrated that I took my jersey off and threw it in to the corner at the bar and could not even watch the game.  Basically I was throwing a temper tantrum worse than some 4 year old kids.  I found my self just looking out the window or off into random space because I could only wonder what might have been.  I am trying to keep my head up and be positive about the next few games and that maybe we can bring it back home and have game 5 to move on.  It has been done before and I think that this team has the power to do so.

I have many reasons why I want to see the Cubs win a world series.  As I grew up my great grandfather would always sit in his rocking char and listen to the games.  You could always tell if they were winning because he would be calm but if they were losing he would rock the chair harder and harder.  Sadly he passed away in 1992.  I want them to win it so that I go to his grave site and tell him we did it!  And I want everyone who has a relative that has passed away to be able to do the same!  We will wait for them and when we get there we will celebrate it with them!

Let’s go to LA and bring this back home! 

Please keep your heads up Cubs fans and let’s go get what is ours!

GO CUBS GO!!!!!!!!!
