OK. I know I am a little pissed off about the way the season ended up, but every single one of you would be the same way if you were in my shoes. But what's done is done, it's time to move on.
The first and possibly last step in my road to recovery is hate, or maybe revenge, I am not sure. Basically, I have had a strong disliking for the Cubs for some time now, (thanks AJC) and that has boiled over into hoping they crash and burn this year. Big time. I mean BIG TIME. Why? Well, take a look at this:

Notice anything stupid about this? Let's see... who made the playoffs... Boston, Cleveland, Yanks, Angels, Arizona, Colorado, Philly, and CHICAGO??? What a crock!! If Atlanta (3rd best team in the NL East by the way) played in that division, you know they would have been on top EASILY!! No competition!!
I have nothing against Philly anymore, they played their asses off and deserved to make the playoffs. But don't let the Cubs win the Series, or the Pennant for that matter. Or just kick em right out of the playoffs.
If you wanted to, you could let the Padres in, one game down and everything. They are the most deserving. I know... this is basically saying throw away the divisions, and just take the top 4 from the NL and the AL... and so on and so forth. I don't really want that to happen, as that is a little drastic and it is wrong in many monetary ways.
I know that some saps out there like the story of the underdog. Not me. I am bitter and I am pissed that I have to listen to people talk about the Cubs day in and day out everywhere I go. Let's end it quick. If I knew Steve Bartman, I would tell him to go piss on the ivy or something.
BTW, another extremely weird form of my hate and vengefulness is the fact I am thinking about cheering for the Yankees a little. Because if they won the Series everybody would be pissed off, and I am already sick of being the only pissed off person in Central Iowa right now. I wouldn't necessarily be cheering out loud for them, just not rooting against them AS MUCH. For people wondering... Go Tribe!!
