I tell this story a lot, but I remember the Saturday night after game 4, my dad breaking down in tears because he believed we would be win the series.

We pulled into Sonic on Perkins Rd and as listening to the series, he said, "we need to win Game 5 so that we can have Prior and Wood Games 1 and 2 in the series."

Ouch

Makes me think your dad wasn't a long time Cubs fan.

I was so excited after game 4 that I didn't even give a shite that they lost game 5. I knew we had Prior and Wood and that there was no way they were losing both of those games at home. Post game 7 was the most depressed I've ever been after a sporting event, including walking out of the Superdome after 1/9/12.

And I really thought 2008 was going to be the year. I thought Karma was finally catching up with the Cubs with the 100 year deal. I still blame Crane Kenney for having the priest bless the dugout before game 1. frick that guy.
