Chicago Cubs Dilemma

Chicago Cubs fans don’t consider this great. The team hasn’t won a World Series since 1908. That was more than a century ago. In post season play, the Cubs have been a no-show. Since the team hasn’t known the meaning of success, they have been causing their fans much distress. The Cubs last World Series appearance was in 1945. That was before many of us were alive. Cubs baseball for years has been like stormy weather. Do you think the boys will ever get their act together?

Been a die hard Phillies fan all my life but growing up, one of my all time favorites was Ernie Banks.

Being a Philadelphia native, I have followed the Phillies myself. Until recently, we haven't had much to cheer about. Hopefully, they can return to the World Series in October.

I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Robert. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I am going to see if I can write something for a couple contests this weekend. Hope you find the inspiration to do the same. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Love, Carol

They will win it eventually I know...the curse of the Red Sox was finally lifted several years ago, that was awesome! The Cubbies will take the title in our lifetime I'm sure of it! Just wait a few more years...it will happen!!(Of course they have been saying that for years) Great Work!!

I don't know anything about sports, but I think I heard about this before. Gosh, they have had one very long dry spell!! I enjoyed seeing your poem about this.

Yes, indeed. It is quite the predicament and lament for the poor fans! I knew a big cub fan - he was always hopeful he'd see them win before he died...sigh...excellent poem! Always, Laura

Of all the clubs the Cubs have been the flubs, but when they win the din within the stadium will be wakin' the whole north side.

I think the Cubs fans have suffered long enough.
