Call me a former Cubs Fan, an example of the triumph of hope over experience.

I'm glad you recovered from being a Cubs Fan.

No one ever recovers from being a Cubs fan. The Diamondbacks are a real lift, though. It's fun to see the arrogant Yankees whoopped good two times in a row. However, I remain humble until the Series is won.

My son knows the college kids who took the goat to Cubs stadium to remove the goat curse. It didn't work but it made the newspapers. As Cubs fans know, a man was kicked out of the games for bringing his pet goat (who always came to the stadium). The man cursed the team and said it would never win a pennant. The Cubs folded and never won a pennant since.
