why blame the cubs franchise? was it their fault that sianis wasn't let in? was it their fault that i purchased anew cubs hat after game 4 of the 2003 nlcs, which apparently intensified the curse---now, we can't even win a playoff game. 9 straight losses and counting since buying the hat.

 

 

I dont believe in curses. I believe in fate. I believe in the yin and the yang. I believe that for every action ther's an equal and opposite reaction.

 

For example, for every hitler there's a gahndi. For every rainy day, there's a sunny one. For every winning baseball club, there's gotta be a loser.

 

 

Just so happens it's always our team.

 

 

No curses, no hexes, just fate, and there's nothing we can do about it.

 

Gandhi was an a-hole

 

Maybe, maybe not, but I think you get my overall point.

 

So, for no particular reason, the Cubs are just the BAD team every single year?

 

That's called a curse. Karma may have created the curse, but it's still exactly like a curse.

 

Whatever you call it, you are admitting something intangible is at work behind the Cubs being so Cubs.

I'm moving to China in November and will be gone for all of next season. Thinking about this is the only thing that is making me happy. I can't take this anymore.

 

Really? I lived in China for about 18 months. Where you going to live? Why ya going there?

 

 

I'll be in Dalian teaching English and not watching the Cubs.

hell yeahhhhhhhhh

 

although im pretty sure they'll disappoint me too

 

They promise us not to worry about the center depth problems, the young kids will step it up.

 

Never heard that one before?

 

yeah that worries me. I didn't think Lang was such a bad player really, I don't really think they should have traded him with the depth issues we have.

 

It wouldn't bother me so much if it was a new problem. But it's like Wood/Prior '05. I'm just tired of hearing the *same* plan every year.

 

the blackhawks haven't had anywhere near the talent they have now. not since the mid 90s. they were totally void of any meaningful talent for a long itme.

I get that, but why does it have to be center again? Why can't it be RW or something for once?

 

It's like the Bears and QBs.

So who are you all going to cheer for now? Rays?

I'm not going to root for another team that was created during my life to win it.

 

that's actually how I feel too. the state of florida having three championships would be a travesty.
