No Cubs no! Hey Chicago whattaya say, the Cubs have crushed my dreams today They had the power, they had the speed So why the hell couldn't they get the lead? Well this was the year but I guess the Cubs weren't real So like the past 100 years, we've just got to deal They're singing now No Cubs no! No Cubs no!... -- I decided my heartbreak would best be explained through song, much like my elation was expressed for all 97 of those glorious, glorious wins.. Trying to add a little humor and hopefully not piss someone off who thinks I'm "mocking" them I love those Cubbies! No Cubs no!
No Cubs no!
Hey Chicago whattaya say, the Cubs have crushed my dreams today
They had the power, they had the speed
So why the hell couldn’t they get the lead?
Well this was the year but I guess the Cubs weren’t real
So like the past 100 years, we’ve just got to deal

They’re singing now
No Cubs no!
No Cubs no!…

It never hurts any less. I should see a psychiatrist for staying in an abusive relationship where the team I idolize always lets me down. I sometimes wondered whether the late great Charles Schultz hadn't based his Charlie Brown character on the Cubs, and whether Joe Schlabotnik could be found on the Cubs' roster. I don't blame this loss in any way on Lou, but why didn't we consider Reed Johnson or Hoffpauir? Just asking. WGN should change its broadcasting initials to WTNY (Wait 'til Next Year). Thanks to Lou, Sheps and Sneech for your faithful broadcasts through this season that promised so much that ended in heartbreak. But is it not better, as the saying goes, to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. To the Cubscast team, to the Cubs, and to Cubs nation, a valedictory salute to 2008. And for consolation, may I suggest the beautiful poem by Yeats, called "When you are Old." They broke our hearts again. It never hurts any less.
