"We'll root for anyone the Cubs are playing."
Come on, now, White Sox fans. Think outside of the box.
The Cubs tanking in the post season is about as surprising as the sun rising in the east every friggin' morning.
And, frankly, reveling in this loss is unnervingly Pavlovian.
Here are a few ways that you can channel your unfounded rage and spite:
- You can take up quilting and make a large "We were wrong" quilt. It gets pretty cold in Chicago come World Series time. And, if things end early for the Cubs, you can put it away for your great grandchildren when this opportunity rolls around in the next 99 - 100 years.
- Writing letters can be very therapeutic, and in this era of technology, emails can be just as effective. Email Jerry Reinsdorf and Ozzie Guillen a list of events going on around Chicago in October. The Chicago Fire are having a decent season, and they play through the end of the month... The Fire... No, they're a soccer team... Yes *sigh* Chicago has a soccer team! (You might want to forward a copy of that list to Lou Piniella & Jim Hendry [and me, for that matter!]).
- You can start a petition to make Joan Cusack the Chicago White Sox mascot.
- You can begin hiding the sharp objects and the blunt, television-damaging projectiles in preparation for the Bears game on Sunday. That's what I've occupied myself with for the better part of today.
Now get a good night's sleep. This may all be over tomorrow.

Where did you go wrong? You were raised Sox fans, yet you have foresaken your past and switched to the dark side? Say it isn't so!
Um, Paul... Did you know my mom?
Heh... I know. I am destined to a life of heartbreak and disappointment. I can't help it. It's a sickness.
