Loveable and inexhaustible losers.

I gotta say something good about my Chicago Cubs. As a collective bunch, they are good teachers. The Cubs keep teaching me about the art of losing baseball games. The Cubs are masters at losing games. In every which way. Sometimes, I think the Cubs have exhausted the supply. That there are no new ways of losing. That they can’t possibly find another way. Yet, they keep surprising me. They always seem to find a new way. As if they are capable of dipping into a bottomless pit. And finding another and another and another way. Yes, my Chicago Cubs are amazing. Loveable and inexhaustible losers. –Jim Broede
