OK, let's never talk about the past. Ever again. Because it's just beating a dead horse.
Bad trades? Come on dude, don't worry, be happy.
Last night's tough extra-innings loss? It's over, it happened, it will never be discussed again.
There is nothing to glean or learn from past mistakes. Nothing.
That old adage about "It's good to study history, because history tends to repeat itself?" I guess that's just a load of rubbish.
Hold people accountable for the jobs they do? Why? It's mean.
How can we expect Hendry to lead us to glory when we say mean things about him?
From now on, let's just look to the future. Only. And wear our rose-colored glasses.
After all, to paraphrase the great and wonderful Mark McGuire, "We're not here to talk about the past!"
Well, either go with that philosophy....
or continue to ask why Jim made the stupidest Cub trade since Brock-for-Broglio.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
