The Cubs: A Love Story (Mostly)
The Lovable Losers (Or Were They?)
Let's talk about the Chicago Cubs. You know, that team that was cursed for a century or so. Or, as some of us like to call them, the masters of suspense. They kept us on the edge of our seats for longer than any Netflix thriller. And boy, did they know how to build anticipation!
The Curse is Over
Thankfully, those days of heartbreak are (mostly) behind us. The Cubs finally broke the curse in 2016, delivering one of the greatest sports stories of all time. It was like watching a rom-com where the couple finally gets together after a million near-misses. But let’s be real, even with the World Series win, Cubs fans are a hardy bunch. We’ve been through the ringer, and we’re ready for anything.
Wait, What About This Year?
Now, now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. While the 2016 win was a dream come true, baseball is a funny old game. It’s like trying to predict the weather in Chicago – you never really know what to expect. But one thing's for sure, Cubs fans are always optimistic. We’re the eternal optimists of the baseball world.
A Quick History Lesson
For those new to the Cubs fandom, let's do a quick recap. The team has a rich history, filled with legendary players and heartbreaking moments. Think of it like a classic novel with plenty of twists and turns. The Cubs have won multiple World Series titles, but it's that infamous 108-year drought that really put them on the map (or should we say, off the map).
Looking Ahead
The future of the Cubs is always a topic of conversation. Will they continue to be contenders? Can they repeat the magic of 2016? Who knows! But one thing's for sure, Cubs fans will be there to cheer them on, win or lose.
