Cubs fans crying continues for Day 2

Wrigleyville bars will be lonely and sad tonight. They may be full but will sound more like a wake than a wedding ceremony. Their mighty Cubs losing yet another game in the playoffs, at home no less. All the pressure and weight of the north side of the city is apparently crushing this year's record setting team to pieces. The Dodgers are up 2-0 with up to 2 games remaining in L.A. and a possible 5th back at Wrigley.

Watching the camera scope over the crowd during the 7th and 8th innings it's become apparent to me that the fans are so crushed and any air was quickly taken out of their balloon this evening. Just too much negative energy by all Cubs fans. They think about some curse, or Bartman or whatever other BS excuse/great tradegy that helps them deal with their team going down 0-2. After an earlier post mocking the Cubs luck hoping to change the luck in game 2 with an Onion post, it's time to be positive.

It made me think of a great poem about focusing on the positive and ignoring the negative. Here are some exerpts of the Winner vs. Loser. Cubs fans: let's be winners! This series is NOT over yet! Keep dreaming Cubbies!

The Winner is always part of the answer;The Loser is always part of the problem.

The Winner sees an answer for every problem;The Loser sees a problem for every answer.

The Winner says," It may be difficult but it is possible";The Loser says,"It may be possible but it is too difficult."

Winners have dreams;Loser have schemes.

Winners say," I must do something";Losers say,"Something must be done."

Winners are a part of the team;Losers are apart from the team.

Winners see possibilities;Losers see problems.

Winners see the potential;Losers see the past.

Winners make it happen;Losers let it happen.

God Savoring Vast Array Of Cubs-Cursing Options

CHICAGO—God, the divine creator and omnipotent deity, held a press conference Tuesday to discuss the infinite ways in which He could curse the postseason hopes of His least favorite baseball team, the Chicago Cubs.


"I might go with an inopportune rainout or the classic error on a routine play. Or maybe I'll mess with the lights during a huge play in Game 7—that could be interesting," said God, who added that when it came to the Cubs, it was nice to stop moving in mysterious ways and take the direct-intervention approach for once. "My prophet Steve Bartman will certainly be a tough act to follow, but trust Me: Anything can happen. And let's just say that for the centennial celebration, it will be huge." When asked about His plans for mankind, God said He would "probably" allow our free will to decide the issue.

It's that time of the year...

Well, well, well... summer is behind us and fall is staring us in the face. Football season is in full swing, the playoffs for baseball are around the corner and the leaves are turning colors. It's a great time of year!

With all that said, it's also the time of year when "the ring is the thing" is also peaking it's head around the corner, especially for those in their 20's and early 30's. What am I talking about?? Well, the holiday season is around the corner and most guys who deem themselves in "long term relationships" or "serious" relationships begin feeling a little hot under the collar. They have either moved in with their girlfriends or conversation of the topic has come up often recently. It's time to shit or get off the pot buddy (at least that's what the girls are thinking).

This is not a new phenomenon and quite frankly is happening later in this generation than generations past. But somethings never change.

Here are a few items that may never change:

1) Girls want the ring to show to friends and family during the holidays.

2) They want you to ask them to marry you. Badly. They will play it cool, but it's all they thing about 24-7. They may even ask you if you wait too long (although this is not common). But persuasion is a woman's close friend... and this subject should not affect you.

3) The girl already has her wedding planned out in her mind and has since she was a kid. She has already inserted you into that vision. She will never tell you this, but it's true. All she needs is that ring... from you.

So Yes, MfB is now delving into wedding topics, however MfB considers itself keen on this knowledge via experience. You can't take that from me. MfB believes there are four or five such candidates to purchase rings in the near future.

Just know this: it's a great experience proposing, it's a lot of fun planning a wedding with someone you care about, and when it's all over you go back to living with the girl you've dated for some time and nothing is different than before (you even enjoy calling her your wife).

Best of luck fellas!!
