Your exactly right. The Cubs may not win a championship in my lifetime, and yet they may. The bottom line is, if you switched to another team and missed out on the Cubs finally winning a championship, you would never live it down. And if you die without the Cubs winning a championship, hey in the grand scheme of things does it really matter? Is your life a failure because a group of 25 man from around the world playing as a team based on the north side of Chicago didn't beat 29 other teams from around the country one year in your life? If it is, then you need to get out more. Winning a championship would be such a rush, such a high for me. I'd buy all the gear, the dvd's, etc. But then my life would go on. Last years playoffs taught me that over the winter. I got perspective that has been invaluable to me during the first half of this year. My girlfriend doesn't even ask me if the Cubs won or lost everyday anymore because she knows my mood won't be affected if they lose. I went way off topic there, but just wanted to share.
