I tell you, it's aggravating.

My Chicago Cubs are the most aggravating team in baseball. And I tell myself every other day that I'm gonna abandon them. Ignore 'em. Renounce my allegiance. But I always keep coming back. Aggravation after aggravation. The Cubs had a three-game winning streak. And their bats seemed coming alive. So, what happens? The Cubs go to Pittsburgh to face the team with the worst pitching in major league baseball. And lo and behold, the Cubs have lost the last two nights by scores of 3-2 and 4-2. I presume that the Cubs figured all they had to do was to show up. And feast on bad pitchers. I tell you, it's aggravating. I wonder why I keep coming back for more and more aggravation. --Jim Broede
