Oh for fuck's sake, snap out of it. You're not the only one who experienced '84. And '03 was identical, blah blah fucking blah. But in '03, they not only finally won a series but also won the Game 3 in Florida that everybody at the time was
convinced they would lose; you'll recall the game ended on defensive miscue that was immediately erased by a Florida baserunning gaffe. They beat Pittsburgh last year, and they absolutely destroyed St. Louis. There's enough out there to show the fates favor nobody; it's just that, as our Head Moran pointed out a couple weeks ago, when you rarely make the postseason, the times you fall short are magnified. Those past horrors--which again, have NOTHING to do with today and everything to do with your own neuroses-- are evening out in any event. I'm not denying I'm scarred by it; but I'm also not going to irrationally impose those events on this fucking awesome group of players that should
never fucking be doubted because FUCK YOU.
Knock off your own personal melodrama and get over it. Repeat after me--the past has NOTHING to do with this team. If they get bounced in the next round, it'll be because they didn't play well and/or played a hotter team. It happened last year and you survived. Enough with the fatalistic bullshit.
And hang with your goddamn team for crissakes.

I can't really THIS this because lord knows I do more than my fair share of panicky dipshit bitching, but the only thing that would possibly be against them in this postseason is that short-series baseball is a fickle asshole. The Cardinals lost an NLCS on a walkoff homer from Travis fucking Ishikawa. They got blanked in two different world series by a previously "cursed" team. They probably have more playoff heartbreaks than the Cubs simply because they've been there more often. If they lose god knows I'm going to go down swearing but I'VE SEEN IT TOO MANY TIMES is not one of those complaints. This team has as much to do with the 2003 Cubs as it does the 1942 St. Louis Browns. The beauty of this team is I
haven't seen most of the shit they are doing before.

As someone who both nodded along while reading Huey's post but could not bring himself to make eye contact with the television while Chapman closed out the 9th, I'll just say this: sports emotions are weird and crazy.
The slate is clean, the deck is clear, the next series starts on Saturday. Let's do it all over again.
I guess the big take away for me is, you're not really hurting anyone but yourself by getting totally freaked out when things are going badly. A lot of people, if not most, do that.
But yes, it's frustrating and annoying to read doom and gloom while things have yet to be decided, if only because it has the tendency to increase the anxiety people are already feeling. So, maybe if you're a Doom and Gloomer, show some consideration and keep your morbid thoughts to yourself, or perhaps to some like-minded friends.

I guess the big take away for me is, you're not really hurting anyone but yourself by getting totally freaked out when things are going badly. A lot of people, if not most, do that.
But yes, it's frustrating and annoying to read doom and gloom while things have yet to be decided, if only because it has the tendency to increase the anxiety people are already feeling. So, maybe if you're a Doom and Gloomer, show some consideration and keep your morbid thoughts to yourself, or perhaps to some like-minded friends.
And my advice, as always, is don't follow me on twitter. Why anyone does is a total mystery.
You should set up two accounts. You could use one to send out the in-game stuff that is totally unreadable, and another for everything else that is totally readable.

I like the idea of an SKOmeatball handle

Maybe this goes to I admit it thread, but I have to say, non game-day SKO is rational. During the games, reading your panicky tweets makes me want to throw my phone through the wall.
I've said many times before that I usually wake up after most games in shredded purple shorts, looking at the destruction around me and screaming in horror "oh god what did I tweet". If they actually make the World Series my wife is on standing orders to just take away my phone.
*If*? You fucking fatalistic douche.
This is 2010 Blackhawks land. Enjoy a very special group of athletes slaying every memory that haunts you.

That's fair, and is pretty much the big counterpoint. I'd have to actively seek out your breakdowns, so they don't bug me. It's tougher on a forum, though, unless there's a specific negativity thread that we can all ignore.
I love that I posted this for two reasons:
1) In case I need to be humbled a little bit. I was wrong. Chuck has never been wronger than I was above.
2) Ironically, "next year" isn't a pie in the sky, empty hope thing. But this year is still here. And we're 61 days from Christmas Eve, which is about 50 days from pitchers and catchers reporting.

the second best thing about this season is the shorter wait for pitchers and catchers.

I never said the proper FYTJ, so I'm putting it down for posterity, but all is long forgiven.

I like the Cubs. And I like baseball. They should win many games in the regular season, before kicking us in the nuts in October.
Four months until pitchers and catchers report.
Are you like this in real life or is this a thing you do for our entertainment? Choose your answer carefully...it depends on if I continue enjoying your existence.

I was definitely like that during the eighth inning or seventh inning or whenever I posted that on October 11.
