Better than being blase.

I keep reminding myself to not be disgusted or upset with my Chicago Cubs. Despite their inept and losing ways. Because there’s been an influx of young players. Which is a move in the right direction. The old reliable veterans are no longer reliable. So it makes sense to bring in new blood. To build for a brighter future. Which means a few lean years. While these players mature. Get better. In recent years, the Cubs tried to get better by recruiting veteran free agents. But now they are making an effort at developing decent players in the minor leagues. The difference is that now when the Cubs lose, they lose with enthusiasm. That’s better than being blasé about it. –Jim Broede
