Man, every time I read that I laugh harder. Hahaha.

May as well add something. And why not add the man who messed it all up in 03 (other than Dusty) http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/adc/10125970B~Alex-Gonzalez-2003-NLCS-Game-1-Home-Run-Posters.jpg

Most of that "haven't been to a WS since 45/won since 08" stuff is brought up by the media. Or by fans of other teams. I wouldn't really say that the Cubs fans are particularly cocky at the moment, we're just enjoying the fact that our team has been playing amazing for the past 2 months.

Thanks for the welcome. I was a bit worried when I realized that my first words in my first post here were "I'm a Cubs fan." And I understand that, (Alhough, to be fair, it was a 3 games to 1 lead in the 2003 NLCS. Dusty thought it'd be a good idea to pitch Mark Guthrie in extra innings of game one. It wasn't.) it just seems to me that teams like the Braves, who put out great teams every year and still manage to exit early in the playoffs, or even the Yankees deserve more heat for being chronic chokers. Though I can't deny that every year that the Cubs have been good always ends in a crushing heartbreak for me. I'm still sore about 2003.

I'm a Cubs fan and I find this thread quite hilarious...in that sad "oh god I wish I wasn't a Cubs fan" kind of way. I must say, I don't understand the thinking that the Cubs are consistent chokers. We normally suck too bad to even be in a position to choke. Outside of 69, 71 (I think it was that year), 03, and 04, I can't think of any other years where we've done anything remotely close to choking. But keep it up, the pics are entertaining.
