It is so easy to quit

by CUB27 on Oct 3, 2008 5:32 PM CDT

It's so easy to curl up and die.
It's so easy to let the "pathos" wash over you and sweep you away.
It's so easy to say "screw it" and turn off the tv for the next three games.

However, if you're a true Cubs fan, you're used to things being difficult. Because being a Cubs fan in and of itself isn't easy. It is a struggle. It puts up a fight. If you want a World Series Ring, you're going to have to go through the lowest of lows in order to get there.

You are going to have to work for it. My Grandmother always said that nothing you don't have to work for is worthwhile. So if you want easy, if you want safe, then go root for the friggin Yankees.

As for me.....I'm all in. Till death.

GO CUBS

I think everybody is trying to root this team on but..

when you give the kind of performance they gave us on Thursday, I kind of question my Cubs allegiance. Is it worth it to go through the pain and then get abused time after time after time. I just wonder to myself when I’m an old person, have the cubs won a world series yet. I think my life will be complete when everything that needs to be done is done and the Cubs win the World Series. Just what more can the Cubs do in the playoffs to shock me, I’m just not shocked anymore when something bad happens. It is just I believe in this team but the way this team played the last two days, makes me question me as a cub fan

If it's so easy...

why can’t I quit them?

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

You have raging True Believerism

Must be contagious.

I am not a fan of self diagnosing, but the list of symptoms lead me to believe without a doubt that I suffer from True Believerism too. It seems to be a changable disease with many highs and super lows. I know it’s not curable, but is there a pill to ease the pain? Take the edge off?

I got one thing to say

I ddidnt go all year, thinking we have the best team, and waiting, and waiting, and WAITING for October. I didnt sit through 163 games to give up now. No, not on this team. This is the type of thing the Cubs would do this year. If u dont think the Cubs have a chance, then get off the bandwagon and please, please never come back.

I'm a die hard Cubs fan...

I never quit, I never stop believing, I never give up. Even in the face of this terrible situation, when everything I see, everything I hear; tells me that I’m a fool to believe… I still believe.

I believe for those who have no faith, I believe for those have no hope, I believe for those who have given up. I believe because I want to believe it will happen, and I’m praying & believing that it will be willed into existence.
