I stopped watching every game in 2005, after the nightmare that was the final two weeks of 2004. I couldn't be more happy with my decision.
I think the assumption that the Cubs would make the playoffs has been a double-whammy in terms of having joy watching the team in the regular season (especially early): on the one hand, we assume they'll make the playoffs, so watching the regular season is less exciting or enjoyable. On the other hand, the Cubs are sucking relative ass, and the playoffs seem like a dream, so watching the regular season is less exciting or enjoyable.
