Final Post

I can't root for this team any more. I've already wasted about 40% of my life expectancy as a Cubs fan. I can't let the other 60% be wasted as well. I cannot sit idly by an let the disease of rooting for this franchise infect my son. There's still hope for him to be happy.

$100 million dollars has bought one of the worst on-field products in recent memory. There's more plate discipline in the 12-year-olds' rec-league down the street. I'm tired of trying to schedule my life around WGN telecasts, spending money on XM radio that would be better served in a college fund, and defending my fandom in a college football town, to a bunch of pseudo-baseball fans that occasionally root for the Indians or Reds (when they're good).

I'm not giving up on baseball- I'm just giving up on the Cubs. Until this franchise shows 1/1,000,000th of the loyalty to fans that we have shown to this franchise, I'm done.
