And we thought as Skins fans that we were going through rough times as fans.

Well Tex, the prime of a sports fan is from age 14 to age 50. No Cubbies fan who is in their prime was even born in '18, or even '45, when they won the NL pennant.

The thing is Redskins fans have tasted victory so it makes it that much harder on us. I feel so bad for Cubs fans. This should have been the year

Salary Cap? Major League baseball will have to end this madness SOME day. Fans will just stop watching if the trend continues.
