Was just reading some threads and was looking for some historical context. Has Hairy Ducked ever been happy with the Cubs or is he always sort of negative with outlooks of players, etc.?

 

I've always been more negative than the average fan, yes. That's a good thing.

 

Edit: If you go back to like 2002 I went by IvyEmpire and was convinced that we were going to be awesome forever thanks to Jim Hendry's farm system.

OK. Cool. It just seems like nothing is ever good in your eyes and you can't enjoy or have fun.

 

But I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to my team, so I have issues as well.

Well, that's just silly. Of course I have fun. And I'm positive on plenty of things. They just tend to provoke less discussion than the negative ones.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass, because I'm really curious: can you name five things you like about this team?

 

It would actually make me feel good for some reason.

He's only having fun when he's thinking about how sad his life is and he realizes it makes other people feel awkward.

He's positive when most are negative and negative when most are positive, but he always hedges his bets. He's our resident contrarian.

I'm not enjoying this last week of baseball though. Bored now, playoffs please.

This week is about the best case scenario for the Cubs going to the WC. Rest the core, get the bench some ABs, snd set up the rotation. Let STL and Pitt fight until the bitter end.

Well, that *is* fun, but things are pretty great right now so I have to pursue other avenues.

He's taken to the pool amazingly well. Jumped off the diving board after seeing his cousins doing it, which is exciting because one of the biggest points was having him around them and see if that sparks him like that.

Meh. You're not wrong, but who knows how big the difference is. It's probably all a crapshoot still. In the meantime, boooooored.
