I was still watching in July but it was painful. Very painful. I quit watching in Mid-may last year. It made for a boring, but much less painful, summer. No matter how bad the Cubs are, I couldn't go that long without some type of sport to watch. The pain of boredom would be far worse than even the deep, grinding pain of Cub suckage. I dont know how I made it. But, I did. I just couldnt stomach last years team. I watched on occasion, but it was maybe one or two games every two weeks. Maybe that's why I'm so addicted to this years team...im still in withdrawal from not having a team last year.
