I'm not happy anymore just making the playoffs.
I want a World Series Championship.
Build a team that can do that!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't know if you were speaking to me but I've been as vocal as anybody about this. All I was saying is we should win the division no matter what so we can afford to have a few issues going into midseason where we can make an acquisition or two to better prepare the team for the playoffs. Dude, the season doesn't start for me until October. No more running around the house screaming when Geovany Soto hits a homer to tie it in the 9th against the Brewers. I won't even get excited about winning the division. Championship or bust.

Clapp I think you are doing yourself a great dis-service here. Remember what it was like to go into a season knowing that even if Manny Alexander had a breakout season the Cubs would still suck. We have won back to back division titles, we are on paper dominant in our division. Enjoy the fuck out of this,we both followed the Cubs like idiots when they sucked. We have never been this good in my entire lifetime. Soak up every bit of this season, enjoy being good, and look forward to an exciting post season. There will never be a guarantee that we will win it all, but this is so much better than the way it was in the 80's and 90's. We have had a chance every year for a while now and it is something that I could get used to.

Last regular season was an absolute blast, but losing like that 2 years in a row has me way more pissed off than our usual crap years. It really, really hurt and as much as I love this team, I'm developing some hate towards them at the same time. If we could just win maybe a single damn playoff game this time around, that will get me feeling at least a little bit better. I agree with what you're saying, but every time we choke like this on the national stage we're a bigger joke to everybody.
