The Lovable Losers

Kind of an oxymoron wouldn't you say? To the normal person yes, but to the Cubs fans of the world it is just a way of life. But hey, "this just may be the year". At least we can all hang on to the glimmer of hope that this statement may just be true...afterall, it is just the beginning of the best months of the year, where the boys of summer will take the field day in and day out from now through October.

This is when the anticipation of a baseball fan, and especially those who cheer for the boys on the Northside, is at its peak, when all is good, the grass is green, the sky is a deep blue, and the ivy on the wall at Wrigley Field is nicely groomed and awaiting fans come opening day.

I just returned from a trip to Arizona with my wonderful husband Chad, a true bleeder of the Cubbie Blue, an eternal optimist (or is the that pessimist), and the one responsible for me single handedly turning over my baseball heart to the Cubs...there, I said it! Its hard not to, and for those of you who don't understand, well, you just don't understand.

So for now, we will hang on to our seats, and hope that Sweet Lou can lead us home, and that in fact 2007 just may be our year. In the meantime, enjoy some of the moments I caught on the trip.
