...so I bitched about Greg Maddux during the pre-season, and he is starting out the year 5-0. This is the first time in his career that he has done this.
Given as I am a well-beaten Cub fan, I am notNotNOT going to think of what might be. I will only acknowledge what has already happened, because Fate can't take that away.
Good going, Greg.

Good luck to your team! (See, I'm not really that hard core a fan :-) )

I tend to root for the Red Sox, even though they broke their part of the no-win curse. I liked it better when they had all those ex-Cubs, like Bill Mueller. I always liked him.
That being said, good luck to your team too!
