Most wonderful time revisited

With all due respect to Royals fans, whenever I hear KC fans lamenting their teams recent misery I have to chuckle. I, folks, am a diehard Cub fan, born 90 minutes from Wrigley and raised on a bittersweet diet of Sandberg, Grace, and the gag reflex, watching my beloved either commit suicide in April or choke at the most unchokiest of times. We blame goats and Bartmen and have priests sprinkle holy water in our dugouts so we can exorcise the poltergeists that have been piling up for the last 102 years. So, sorry, but when I hear about the Royals "drought" and their "frustrated" fanbase, I only have one piece of advice to offer: wait another 75 YEARS; then you can tell me what it's like to feel out of it by April almost every year.

True, the Cubs have had three winning seasons in a row, two of those years culminating with winless postseasons. And yes, the Cubs have some dynamite players, both on their big league roster (Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Carlos Marmol) and in the minors (Starlin Castro, Andrew Cashner, Josh Vitters, etc.). But none of that matters because the last time the Cubs even played in the World Series, Adolf Hitler's death was still recent news. And the last time they won: 1908. My great-grandmother hadn't even immigrated from Germany yet, and my grandfather, who died when he was nearing his 80th birthday, had to wait another 21 years to be born. My only hope is that I live to see a title come to Wrigley. If not, maybe my 10-month old son can. and then if we doesn't see one,well, I guess we'll just to wait to 'til next generation.
