Dexo posted:Gonna go to the Arizona Cardinals. Or perhaps the Cleveland Indians? In any event, I can still hardly believe this is real. I was the weeping 7-year-old when they blew it in 1984. I was a sad 12-year-old in 1989. 1998 never happened. I vividly remember every moment of what me and my friends were doing during Game 6 in 2003. I swore off emotional involvement with the Cubs after the 2008 playoff debacle (my dad had done that in 1969, relenting only - literally - seconds before the Bartman Ball went aloft). I swore at that time I wouldn't get hooked again until I saw something they'd never shown me - less than five outs away from the Series with a lead. I rescinded that last Saturday night in the company of my closest friends. All the while I promised myself that if they ever actually won it all the first thing I'd do would be to call my dad. Tonight was that loving night, and I did. Also remembering my grandpa, who was the actual reason I became a Cubs fan as a kid (since my dad had disavowed them in 1969; see above). He passed away at the age of 92 last summer, just before they took off and leveled up. He must have knocked some heads together up there.
