I'm here because I suffer from a hereditary disease that involves living a dying with a certain perenially underachieving baseball club. I was first infected back in 1971 and, as a testament to my mental state, I wouldn't accept a cure even if they did someday come up with one

In the winter time, I've been known to occasionally lose sleep over the Blackhawks, but the Cubs are the only team I live and die with.

This is going to be the year!
