I admit it. I am a goner. I have been a loyal Cubs fan all of my life, but more after I met my husband 27 years ago when he was more in to baseball than he is now. There was a time when I had to let it go while raising babies, and I did get mad at them for a few years after the strike, but I came back, just like a crack addict. I have high hopes every year and you would think after last season, that I would turn my back on them, but here I am, a true fanatic again. I am sad that they let Cedeno and DeRosa go in the off season, but this line up looks so good this year. Also, I am not sad about Woods....he needed to go because how many games could he actually lose for them before management woke up????
The above flag hangs on my house after a Cubs win to show my spirit. My sister and I each got one last summer from a neighbor of my dad's. He has had a little crush on my sister since she was a freshman in high school and the minute she said she would like a win flag, he ordered one for each of us. I am a little sad when I look at it this week, because he died a couple of weeks ago. He had leukemia for a few years and he succumbed to his disease. Thanks for the gift, Alan.
