I like winning. I like hope. But I like baseball so I keep watching. I care about what happens with the cubs even if the post-season is off the table.
Maybe it's because I only have a passing interest in most other major sports so nothing comes in to takeover Cubs mindspace but I just can't turn it off till the last game is played.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I feel the same way about other sports, but there is so very little to be happy about or look forward to on a daily basis (maybe watching Wells or Fox develop), that I have pretty much tired of the game for the remainder of the season. I'm sure that once October rolls around, I will be curious to watch a few innings here or there, but overall I don't care what happens.
