A fan base that suffers from congenital heartbreak is being asked once again if it would be willing to place its trust in a baseball franchise that seems to delight in destroying dreams, foreclosing on hopes and, for all anyone knows, clubbing baby seals.

The fan base wonders if there's a catch.

No, the fans are told, that's it. Just lie on the ground so men with spikes on their feet can grind you into oblivion.

And the fan base points to a mud puddle and says, "Would over there be OK?"

2. I'd kinda like to see our teams in the Series, Great Aunt

Although I'm sorry, but I'd have to be behind the Halos O8)

3. Here's my problem with the Cubs.

That John Kass wrote today that it's time for Cubs fans to get on board cause the Cubs are going to get to the World Series, and I refuse to concede that blowhard is right about anything.

6. Did you know that Kass' name has an unusual pronunciation?

The "K" is silent.

Blowhard is a good characterization.

Go Cubbies!

5. If it is, somewhere the spirit of Steve Goodman will be smiling

He wrote both "Go Cubs GO" and "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request (the latter when he was dying)
