Senior Moments

You have no idea how frustrating it is to be a Chicago Cub fan.  I remember listening to the Cubs on radio while as a young boy in Northern Indiana.  When we got a television I watched the games.  Ernie Banks was my favorite player — he was wonderful even when the Cubs weren’t.  Each Spring started out with hope and optimism, but they all ended the same way — ‘Wait ’til next year!’.

Cub fans have waited for next year a long time — it’s been 100 years since they won a World Series.  I sure hope we won’t have to wait another 100 years.

During the regular season this year the Cubs were absolutely great — they were probably the best team in baseball.  So what happens in the post-season?  They blow the first game.  Can anyone remember the last time the Cubs won a post-season game?

As I write this the second post-season game hasn’t begun.  I’m almost afraid to tune in when the game starts.

Will the Cubs win this series?  Can they go all the way?  I don’t know — I certainly hope so.  But if not, ‘Wait ’til next year!’.

P.S.  Since I wrote this the Cubbies lost another game.   AAAUGHHHHHHH!
