Sometimes you just gotta laugh

by Canadian Cubs Fan on Oct 7, 2008 1:32 PM CDT

Reading espn.com I found this funny page about the Cubs.

I know we're all tired of the curse crap, and realize it had nothing to do with the total embarrassment that was the 2008 playoffs.

However, if we don't laugh at some of this stuff, I think we'll either go completely insane or just jump off the nearest bridge.

I know it's cliche, but I believe that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Well, it's time to beef up a little more!!!

If you're not ready to laugh yet, I apologize for pointing this page out.

Not bad, I needed a chuckle

If the world didn't suck we would all fall off.

I laughed a little while ago

I was able to laugh today and ask anyone who knows me when I’m able to laugh I’m okay.

The joke was “Did you hear Britney Spears is going to write a Cubs song?”

Oops They Blew it Again.

Thngs of worth are worth fighting for regardless of the odds.

I prefer "Blow Cubs Blow"

So this is how it ends.

I heard this one earlier and got a kick out of it

What does a mama bear on birth control and the World Series have in common?

NO CUBS!!!!

I thought it was pretty funny at the time.

I'm so sick of hearing about goats.

Enough.

Hey Al

Glad you’re here. While I’ve got the chance, I just wanted to personally thank you for all your hard work this year. For a guy living on the west coast, you made me feel like I was actually at the ballpark many times.

I don’t doubt you’re taking this ending harder than most, and fair enough. When will you personally start looking ahead to 2009 (ie. re-signings, free agents, etc.)?

Thanks for your kind words.

Honestly — it’s only three days later. I haven’t even finished processing this loss completely, and the playoffs are still in high gear — thus no deals are going to be made now.

I won’t even think about next year till after the World Series is over.
