The North Siders just lost their 8th straight. Their best player, D. Lee, is out with a sore shoulder. They just optioned two of their starting outfielders to triple A. It is July and Mark Prior has never had a winning record in July. And lastly (although I could easily go on), I have decided to stop following their progress--or digress--temporarily. It is not that I am not a fan anymore. It is just two disappointing.
I know. I should be used to this. After all, it is the Cubs. It has been almost 100 years since they have won a world series--the longest drought in baseball. Maybe it is the curse. That possibility makes me a little superstitious. Maybe not following the Cubs will bring good tidings somehow. Anyway, I have got to take a break. A North Sider can endure a lot--more than most sports fans--but this is bringing me down.
I hereby ban myself from the Chicago Cubs website--and from following any web links to news about the team--for at least two days.

but what if we bring the news here to your blog? 8 straight is a lot, especially when you consider we are now 8.5 GB in the wild card race. Good luck not checking the news!
