Coping
 

How do you Baseball guys cope with never winning in your cities. Chicago, Cincy, Pittsburgh, KC even Baltimore, Texas, NY Mets and Milwaukee. Dan, Rick from Chicago, Are the Cubs really that bad? Some teams just never win! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Sammy...how come you left out the Tribe... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif...they stink... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: Coping
 

The Tribe is one of our long time favorite teams. I am talking about teams that hardly EVER win. The Tribe has been good in the past decade or so. I am talking about some teams that seem to never win or even compete! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Pirates have 3 pennants. Its easy to remember the good ol' days of Bill Mazeroski, Roberto, Pops Stargell, and even the pre steroid B. Bonds! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif Go Bucs!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

The Royals used to be the thorn in the side of the Yankees and went to the World Series twice. Losing to the Phillies in 1980 and winning over the Cardnals in 1985. Brett, Quisenberry, Saberhagen, Willie Wilson, Amos Otis, etc.

Mr. K passed on and things went to heck in a handbasket. Trying to see some sunshine with the current team, but believe me, it sucks!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

Re: Coping
 

Being a Cubs fan hurts, its like losing your dog..... I`ve been a loyal true hearted fan since a youngster. My Dad took me to my first game in 1973. I`ve been to as many as 10 opening day games. So many disappointment....but what can I say? I love them. Our day will come!

Re: Coping
 

Being a Military brat I never had a home team. So I picked mine. I have been following Boston since I can remember.

Anyway, I feel for you Dan, my whole childhood and adult life ended in another crappy Oct. Until 2004. Hang in there.

Oh yeah...Steinbrenner and the likes of Boras.......ah forget it.

Was at the Pit, Brewer game last night. No big deal really, when you have the World Champion Steelers and Penguins in the same town...BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

A good friend of ours a Chris Lubanski plays for the AAA Omaha Royals. Got drafted out of HS. Struggling a little but only 24 years old. He played many years with us in AAU and travel baseball. A very nice family too. We hope he makes it. The Royals have a very nice "clean" ballpark.
