They just kept winning and we couldn&#8217;t believe it really was the Cubs. In the end, they broke our hearts again but it really was fun following them this year. So much for &#8220;It&#8217;s been 100 years and THIS IS THE YEAR&#8221; I guess it will have to be year #101. At least the winner wasn&#8217;t the White Sox, the Cardinals or (gasp) the Yankees.<br />
BTW Kip&#8217;s boss thinks it is really weird that we became baseball fans as adults. We told him we had never lived where it was such a big deal&#8211;you really can&#8217;t live in the midwest and not get caught up in it. He said, &#8220;Well, it&#8217;s like an adult picking up smoking, it just isn&#8217;t done.&#8221;</p>
