But before we do, a few notes.
1. I understand you might not be a Cubs fan. That's great for you. Really. I'm happy. Hit the back button. The Sox are a thing too and I root for them when they're in it but I don't need to hear how shitty the Cubs are. I already know. They have a legacy of being shitty. You're not sharing any new information.
2. You might like the Cubs but hate Cubs fans. They just go to games to get drunk. They don't care about baseball. Opinions are like assholes. Yours stinks and I already shared it with the group so no need to re-iterate though I suspect you will anyhow.
So then, can we talk about this team? They are fantastic to watch and they're a bunch of scrappy young kids. I'm not saying they're a championship team and I'm not saying they're even a division winning team (Cardinals amirate?) but they're fun to watch because you see the potential. Even when they lose they're generally in it and they're hustling and they're being aggressive on the bases. It's just fun to watch.
It's not all rosy though. There are a lot of defensive mistakes and the pitching seems to have a tendency of falling apart as soon as they fall behind in the count or put a runner in scoring position but I can't help but to feel like we are so close to having something really good.
Am I the only one here watching? Discuss.
Now to sit back as everyone trolls me with pictures about how terrible the Cubs are. And... Go.
