I'll try to tone it down. I didn't realize I was driving people away.
After getting so close in 2003, everything has changed for me. I want it so bad that every minor disappointment gets magnified to the nth degree. I have lost all patience. And every year it doesn't happen, I become a little more bitter and pissed off. This is the only place I can sound off about it. But I really don't want to ruin the experience or anyone else.
I'll be leaving town tomorrow for a long weekend with no computer. Maybe I'll spend a few minutes to take personal inventory and reassess my Cubs fandom.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Just keep on keepin' on. You're not taking personal shots. It's a board to express feelings on the Cubs, both good and bad. It's easier to express bad ones.
If people were only saying the good things, the 'non-bitching', then this place or (and I assume it works the same as the old place as I am not here all that much) would be both boring and have some of the worst Cubs discussion out there.

I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.
