Let's Act Like We've Been There Before

Attention all Cubs fans:

I might just be a cranky c-knocker, but I'm really tired of Cubs fans (I'm one, fyi) acting like Saddam died, another economic "stimulus" check was mailed, and WHAM reunited all on the same day whenever we win the Central. Come on people, we have like the 2nd or 3rd highest payroll in the league, the best park in the nation in one of the best baseball neighborhoods, and we're in one the nation's largest media markets. We should be winning this thing damn near every year. Let's act like clinching the division in mid-September is expected, instead of this:

I'm a realist who appreciates baseball and Chicago and actin' a fool just because we won a division is unacceptable in my opinion. People typically meet clearly defined expectations and we should let the players and management know that a World Series WIN is what will garner our collective adoration. Just making it is not doing it for me. Winning the NLCS will be nice, but if we lose in the World Series I'll be more pissed than ever. Ever. Let's act like Yankees fans and throw this front up until we're hoisting that trophy high:
