LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of poster should I be this season? Controversial? Dramatic? Level-headed? Sarcastic?

Be all of those, just adjust as needed to the circumstance or game situation.

I just feel so different today then in the past 20 plus years that I have been a baseball fan on opening day. I mean, I want to win it all again of course, but I feel so content as a Cubs fan. I am excited for first pitch, I always will be, but the major yearning isn't there. Which is cool as ****.


Now saying that: LETS SWEEP THE DIRTY BIRDS!

I can't understate how emotional an event last year was for Cubs fans. It's a top 5 for me; up there with getting married and having kids.

Honestly, the World Series sucked for me. It was a horrible train wreck if emotions. Going down 3-1 sucked, crawling back to a Game 7 was awesome, but the emotions of that Game 7 are honestly something I hope up never experience again. When Davis hit that HR, I almost puked. When the Cubs finally won it, I was much more relieved than I was excited. Winning the Pennant was a much better experience for me.

That being said, this year alot of the edge is off, history is erased, and it will be a blast to not have to worry about curses causing agony, or the fear of never seeing them win it all.

[CloneinWDSM]

Never mind

 

[ISUCubswin]

Woah. Maddon said something last week alluding to him being crazy if he didn't start Jay against a former team. He tricked me good

 

[ISUCubswin]

Broke out the lotion after looking at that lineup

 

[CloneinWDSM]

If Heyward can be even average this year that lineup is ******* terrifying.

 

[cyclone101]

With their AARP rotation?

Bartolo Colon NL Cy Young. #dealwitit

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

Never mind

That line up is nuts and unfair to other team

 

[CycloneErik]

That line up is nuts and unfair to other team

I'll allow it.

 

[CycloneErik]

[Bret44]

GO CUBS GO!

 

[clonedude]

Rain is on it's way.... just sayin'.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Go time!

 

[Cyched]

Rain is on it's way.... just sayin'.

 

[CycloneErik]

I like looking over there to see if the runner is about to go and realizing it's Schwarber, so maybe not.

 

[clonedude]

I hope I'm wrong, just calling what I see, that's all.
