The Audacity Of Hope

Jeeze-o-pete.

Obviously the Cubs can’t catch a break.

As a long-suffering fan I should be used to this outcome. Nonetheless that doesn’t take the sting out of a sweep by the Diamondbacks.

It’s hard enough taking shit from the Sox fans that live among us. In case you’re new, there are some Sox fans that absolutely live to see the Cubs fail.

Naturally a World Series title in the last century seems to bolster their notion of superiority.

But to take shit from people who make their home in a desert? Apparently we truly have done something to offend God.

But in the ever optimistic “Wait till next year” mode I offer this reflection----Even the good Lord let the Israelites reach the promised land---eventually.

100 years?

I’ve given it to Jesus but I also realize that God helps those who help themselves or at least those who can hit and provide run support to their pitcher.

Some?! I contend if there were no Cubs there'd be no Sox fans.

I saw a post on a board today from a Sox fan who said Saturday was his proudest day as a Sox fan. His team won a WS two years ago and saturday was his proudest day?

There are no Sox fans, just Cub haters.
