...the cubs are gonna win today....
OK maybe not....
If you're someone that follows baseball, you know it's a difficult time to be a Cubs fan. Wait. It's usually a difficult time to be a Cubs fan. Anytime there are times of joy, they are crushed by ridiculous events. Even though they're not doing so well, I still watch every game. No, I don't know why I torture myself, and yes, I still have hope. I just realized one reason why I love watching this team so much. People like me are everywhere, and if they're not there, they will go there......YEAH!
Right now it's the 8th inning, and the Cubs are in Milwaukee. Now, I know that at every park you see fans with loyalties to the visiting team. But never in the numbers that Cubs fans come out. I've had the game on all evening, but I've been busy doing other things. All I really knew was that the Cubs are at the Brewers, and they are losing. No surprise. Normally when you watch a game, you can tell what's happening just by listening to the crowd. If the home team is winning, the crowd noise is very audible, if they are losing, it's pretty quiet. If the home team gets a hit, you hear the crowd erupt. If the away team gets a hit, you hear nothing. Not the case when the Cubs are in Milwaukee, or St. Louis, or really anywhere else. I love that when I have an away game on that I'm not really paying attention to, and I hear a bat crack, and the crowd erupt, I have to look up to see which team was batting. I sometimes forget. Soriano just had a base hit to drive in a run. I wasn't paying attention. I heard the crowd, and thought ' oh shit, now it's definitely over.' WRONG.
Well, it's the top of the 9th now, and the Cubbies are down by 2. Pie is up. I'm off to go watch
