The Cubbies are just beginning to take up the reigns of proper Sports HeartBreak.
See, for many years they were loveable losers - the dregs of the National League. If they won, you felt grand, but you didn't expect it. Recently, they have begun to turn this around and are on their way (that goat curse thing was all well and good, but it didn't have enough actual GAME self-destruction to add up).
But now they have been a pretty good team for awhile. They have some great pitching, hitting, and a Red Sox shortstop. You had a big lead in the 8th inning in Wrigley, and blew it (Bartman et al.). You're on your way! Now get to the Series and lose it terribly.
