Oct. 5, 2008 - It's a sad night here...

but it's more sad in Frankfort, Indiana for my dad.

The Cubs have lost again ... in a season when they won 97 regular season games- they couldn't manage one win in post-season. I don't know if it's the curse of the goat or an idiot  fan who leans into the field of play ... but it is a monumental loss. For the first time in many, many years ... I think my dad really thought this would be the year.  After 68 years of listening, taking vacation days to go see them at Wrigley Field ... I wasn't just hoping this was the year - I was praying.

Silly? Maybe, but he's my dad.

And so we'll wait 'til next year.

Again.
