"next yr is our year..."
Um...
Wait a minute...
I think 1970 was your year. Seems to have turned out to be the year for Pittsburgh and Cincinnati...
No, no...1985 was supposed to be your year! Well, it was, until middle of June, when the Mets four game swept ya into a dustpan...
And 1990...well...
Let's just say 2004 and the Cubs coming back isn't a wise bet. Wiser bet? President Bush doing the State of the Union address in January dressed in baggy pants, a Sean John sweatshirt and a Texas Rangers cap on backwards. Wiser bet? Gary Coleman getting caught by papparazzi coming out of a Motel 6 room with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Wiser bet? Any of the endless sea of morons demonizing Steve Bartman for going after that fly ball admitting that, if in the same situation, they wouldn't have reached for it as well.
Wanna live longer? Spare your heart, and don't give more than a passing glance to the Flubbies or even both sets of Sox in '04. You'll feel better from following this advice.
