Kudos and all of that to the Blackhawks. I'm happy for them and the fans and the city of Chicago, but seeing as I've had little or no interest in hockey the vast majority of my life, I don't feel that I'm entitled to go batshit crazy over this team winning the Stanley Cup.
What I really feel is jealousy. Seeing all those people gathered around Wrigley really did nothing for me other than to make me sad.
The Cubs now stand alone as the symbol of futility in Chicago sports. In my lifetime, every Chicago team has won a Championship except for the most important one. It's hard for me to be truly happy for the Blackhawks in light of what it means for the Cubs and Cub fans.
When does this end?
