Wow here I sit on the morning of Opening Day, thinking about how when my Dad was alive, how many times did I come home from high school dad on the couch watching the Cubs, cussing about not hitting the numbers. I remember also thinking why the Cubs? I was born in Illinois but I was raised in Texas. I could remember thinking The Astros would stomp them Dad.
I can't remember when it changed and I started cheering for the Cubs. I remember having internal battles cheering for the Rockets but wanting the Bulls to win. Hell I remember the " Super Bowl Shuffle"! I remember too thinking damn Warren Moon is going to be great!
What I can't remember is when i started cheering for only Chicago teams. It must be something breed into someone from Illinois because now I stick by my teams through it all. The good and the bad! Yeah I wish my Texas teams the best of luck but, there is really something about those Chicago teams that still to this day drive me wild!
Oh snap, to all my fantasy league mates yes I know I can't win with all Chicago players but I still think the one I pick or the best they have!
Go Cubs Go!
