I want us to bring the trophy to Chicago when we play the flubs...

or atleast have a ceremony for the trophy when the flubbies come to town.

Maybe they should show off all 10 of the trophies they've won since the Cubs last won one.

I did believe in '00, '02, '04, and '05. The '06 team just wasn't the same team. They didn't capture my attention and imagination until it was too late.

Don't feel guilty. That's how these things work out sometimes. That's why sports is so compelling. I seriously wish I could stop watching but I can't. I might miss something unbelievable.

If you're going to feel guilty when they win and horrible when they lose...begs the question why are you subjecting yourself to this?

I can seriously say that I felt just as good this year, heading into the playoffs, as in the previous years. I've felt, since 98, that we've had a good enough team to win it all if we make the playoffs and get things rolling.

And it seems like today, more than in the past, the teams that are the favorites heading into the post season have that extra burden to carry. And this is what I based this year's hope on; us being the Cinderella story. And, surprisingly, it came true. Enjoy it!

That's part of growing up. For some reason losing can still hurt as bad but winning takes on less importance. You've got other things in your life to be ecstatic about.

Speak for yourself.

It set in to me as fast as lime jello in a walk-in cooler.
