Baseball season is finally here. I am so much happier when the Cubs are playing. I have an outlet for all of my emotions. Every emotion I could ever imagine comes through:
Happiness: Nothing shows happiness quite like flying the big blue W over Wrigley Field after a win.
Frustration: When the Cubs walk in a run (which they are notorious for doing) it is amazing that I don't put my foot through the TV.
Sadness: Knowing that October very well may come and leave the Cubs behind. Again.
Hope: Maybe this will be our year. And if anyone says otherwise, just keep wishing.
Jealousy: The Yankees and their 27 championships. That is frustrating. Can't they share some of those?
Contentment: Not that I enjoy seeing other people suffer, but seeing the Twins and whoever is playing the White Sox win gives me a nice feeling.
As the Cubs begin their year, we can only hope that this is our year. I will, however, follow every game and be sure to keep the hope alive. Gotta love baseball season.
This is what my bat mitzvah speech was about!
