To take that statement further, some people assume I'm a Bears fan because I'm from Illinois. (And when they hear I'm from Illinois, they assume I'm from Chicago...as if it's the only city in the state.)[/b]
Maybe you should move away from Chicago? Can't. Just started optometry school. C'mon...optometry school and watching the Cubs suck or no optometry school and maybe the Cubs won't suck? Nah, they will suck either way. I can hope can't I?
I forgot how much I enjoyed that season. It was nice seeing Prior and Wood on the mound and showing incredible emotion. I hope the team gets that intensity back and contends next year. While I won't ever stop watching, it's much more enjoyable when they play well. It's amazing the downward spiral this team took the last few years.
