Me neither. Insufferable. Both because we'll have lost to the Cubs. And all the Cubs fans.
And the media, and Joe Maddon.

GDI I'm just going to avoid it altogether

I'm just not sure what I'll do. I just won't be able to take it.

Think of how great it we'll feel if we win though. Especially if it's in devastating fashion.

I wish I could leave the country, but I don't know where I'd have to go to not have to hear about it.

Yup, that's the other side of it.

The problem is that the risk of losing is soooooooooooo much higher than the reward of winning.
