I love being a Cubs fan. Cubs fans have a strange bond. We're definitely not "fairweather" fans. We still stand proud when people try to make fun of the fact that we haven't won a world series in forever. If we win I will be screaming and jumping up and down. If not, then there is always next year. Cubs fans will ALWAYS be behind their team  |
You said it so well. So many people I talk to and run into through the yrs have lived in Chicago and although they move and have a city team they hold their Cubies close to their herart. They lost last night and it would mean they would have to win all three now, they could do it but if not maybe next year. I too remember a few years back when they almost made it, I was a wreck and moved furniture in my entire apartment because I could not watch. I had it on and waited for the screaming when they were in Chicago or waited for the announcers commentary but I was a basket case. You are going to get to a game now, I know you will and Wrigley Field in it's self is great to see. I am not even a baseball fan that much but I do love our home team and always watch how the Cubs are doing and will til I die
I was born in Chicago, we moved to Hinsdale for only a few years and then back to Chicago's north side close to Evanston. My brother lived in Naperville.
