Reply #49: From A White Sox Fan...

[KharmaTrain]

Dear Cub Fans,

We're saddened by your team's loss in such tragic fashion. Just when you thought a Chicago baseball team couldn't break your heart any further, they go and do it again. I know...I live in Chicago, too. I saw '69, '77, '84 (and the collapse of '85), '89, '98 and now '03. Let me add the White Sox of '67, '72, '77, 83, '93, '94, '00 and '03 to that list.

Overall, now we are looking at over 180 seasons (1908 for the Cubs, 1917 for the Sox) without a pennant and nearly 100 just to get to the World Series (sheesh...Florida does it twice in a decade?). So, yes, there is no real gloating here at all...just the common sense that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

To my ailing DU Chicago Cub fans...cheer up and let's go beat up a Blackhawk fan!
