    I can well imagine!

    Just heed the warning of history! It's only May. Bigger collapses have happened in only a short period of time! See 1951 Brooklyn Dodgers, 1978 Boston Red Sox, 1995 California Angels, etc.!

    Hell, you don't even have to look outside of the Cubs organization for examples of that. See 1969, 1984. I say that as a Cubs fan, but I think others can agree with me, this team just feels different than those of yesteryears.

    And 2003 with the infamous "Bartman ball". Being a Cubs fan is as painful as it gets but it will be worth it if they even get to the World Series in my lifetime (let alone win).
