Score: Universe 8 million, Cubs -2 Going on: Another disappointing Cubs season only an 88% chance of making the playoffs, WE'RE SCREWED 12% chance of wiping and missing the playoffs 44% chance of repeating the disappointments of 2007 and 1998 22% chance of repeating the disappointments of 2003 and 1984 Odds of disappointment: Extremely high. So if this is your outlook, why are you a Cubs fan? Actually, why do you root for any teams in general? Because coming into the season, there's a really, really good chance your team isn't going to win the championship which, according to you, means you'll be disappointed. This is why I cheer for death.
