garbage anymore. I find it utterly ridiculous that we are ripping players or picks that we know absolutely nothing about other than what we read. We had almost the last pick in the first round. We were not getting a sure thing even if there was such a thing. It would not of mattered who we would of picked you would of been guaranfuckingteed over half this board would of been crying about it.
This is not directed at anyone certain... just as a whole. It is fucking old. The only reason I have not left here is because I honestly love you guys. I have met a lot of you in person and it changed a lot of things for me personally. You guys are real friends. However I can not take the constant fucking bitching anymore. I realize who we are and understand things have not exactly
went our way the last 100 years. I just want to be a fan again though. I am sick and tired of fretting over every damn trade, free agent signing, minor league moves, call ups, bullpen decisions and crying about the lineup. I understand the questioning of moves at times but this board has went to another level over the last year or two. There is reason people have left this board and that right there for some who doesn't know is the exact reason why. The over reactions are out of control. I am sure I am going to get a lot of hate or posts ripping on me for this but I have let it fester in me for to long. I believe in karma and sometimes think that maybe the Cubs fan and our way of always waiting for the worst has affected our teams in the past. We have people who say they will not boo but then come on here and just tear players and coaches apart. I guess I don't really get the difference.
Anyway...even though I understand that things are not always roses and sunshine I am going to do my best at just being a fan again. I had a lot more fun that way. Rip away...<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I feel that way a lot but I don't speak up because I'm worried of alienating myself from others.

I left a Cubs board, that many of you know of, because everyone post was negative and everything was a complete bitch fest since many of you guys left. I can understand everything that Cigar said. Things were so great at the other site until the CUbs blew in 2003 and then every second we did not win a World Series just resulted in more anger in posts. Many times things go too far like ripping on our first round pick when no one knew he was 10 minutes earlier. But I can also see how people can bitch when the bullpen comes in and can't throw strikes. It would be nice to see some more relaxing, somewhat positive posts here but I can accept whatever here since the posters are mostly knowledgeable guys.
