Why, oh WHY, do they do this to me.

Okay. Baseball season has started anew.

For those few who DON'T know, I'm one of those poor unfortunate souls known as die-hard Cubs fans.

And it's Opening Day! Another chance for the week of hope before, y'know, Cubdom sets in.

It's currently the sixth inning.

The Cubs are currently winning 10-2 over the Mets.

Why on EARTH do they do this to me?

I mean, okay, yeah, if they were losing by a bundle, okay, fine, yeah, chalk it up to the Cubs sucking as they always do. Yay.

But NOW they have to go and be WINNING. By a lot. And it's making me EXCITED.

I'm not sure I WANT to be excited!

Because they're the Cubs. And... they're always Completely Useless By September.

But now it's spring.

And there's hope.

And they're kicking ass.

And I'm beginning to wish for things that I SHOULDN'T be wishing for, because they're in all likelyhood gonna crash and burn and end up in last like they ALWAYS do..

... Unless they don't.

And if they don't...

... Okay. I should stop thinking now.

Damn them.
