My favorite Cubs moment at Wrigley Field was September 2006 when Rich Hill through a complete game shutout.

We were on the verge of losing 100 games that year. This happened to be the very first time I saw the Cubs win at Wrigley Field (I was 0-42 before).

I'm just bringing this up because the fans at Wrigley that day were excited and enjoyed a baseball game. We weren't winning a division, we weren't winning even 70 games that year but it was a really fun day.

I'm not saying we're doomed to fail this season. It's only April. However I just want to remind people on here that it's not the end of the world if we lose. Try to enjoy this sport.

*I know its a small sample size of fans who are frustrated right now but at the moment you're really taking up 95% of the enjoyment on this site so take a breath and perhaps choose an alternate activity than watching the Cubs tomorrow. Just a friendly suggestion.

You're on to something..

Why waste a pretty Saturday.

The Cubs are like any good relationship. When it gets bad we need some space til it settles.

I’ll just spend the day with a “buddy” instead.

I find it intriguing you put "buddy" in quotes.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

I remember that game well.

I was in town, sat out with Al and the gang in the LF bleachers and thought this was just the beginning of a great future for the kid.

Oh well.

You were 0-42? You are just kidding, right?

Yeah, I call B.S on the 0-42. That's nearly impossible.

I was really 0-42. I as at like 7 Cubs games when I lived in Illinois. When I moved to NY when I was 8 we saw the team play only against Mets and Yankees. Needless to say they didn’t play too well in NY those times. I saw Cubs get swept at Yankee Stadium, Carlos Zambrano lose to Victor Zambrano and other bad losses. I also have never seen them in Philly when I’ve gone down there.

However after that game in 2006 I’ve been 13-2 oddly enough with one loss in Philly and one in NY.
