Goes to show...

Could be that my Chicago Cubs will lose 100 games this season. Which signifies being a really bad baseball team. But still, as a diehard Cubs fan, I find things to savor. Like an occasional dramatic victory. Which the Cubs pulled off yesterday. Against the rival St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs were losing 4-2 with two outs and nobody on in the ninth inning. Lo and behold, the Cubs get a bloop single. Followed by a homerun by second baseman Darwin Barney. On a two-strike count. That ties the game. And forces extra innings. The Cubs finally win. In the 11th inning. Creating a genuine feel good moment for me. A moment that I'm still savoring a day later. Goes to show that even in the worst of baesball times, there's something to be savored. By being a loyal and dedicated Cubs fan. --Jim Broede
