I’m a Red Sox Fan, So Go Cubs!

Of all baseball fans, Red Sox fans can uniquely sympathize with Cubs fans.

I’m a Red Sox Fan, So Go Cubs!
Wall Paper Cave


First off, yes I am a Red Sox fan. Always have been and I always will be. And due to that fact, I am disappointed. A lot. The Red Sox have this nasty habit of raising our hopes to an insurmountably high level and dropping them off a cliff. There begins the first of many similarities I share with Cubs fans.

For all you fans of the Cubbies, I feel you. I really do. I mean we went 86 years without the trophy. We are the only ones close to you guys. But we did it and so can you guys, so there is hope. After all, if you guys do win this year or anytime in the near future, I think it can be pretty well concluded that the real hero is your general manager Theo Epstein. He was also the Red Sox general manager in the years leading up to 2004 and managed to take the Bo Sox and turn them into a really good team in ’03 and World Series team in ’04. Now it’s your turn to have him.

So why I am rooting for the Cubs? Well, first of all, I understand them. From my perspective, very few teams can actually claim to somewhat understand what it’s like. Red Sox fans can and also anyone from Cleveland. However, considering that the Indians are in the World Series, sorry Cubs fans, I think you’re stuck with just the Red Sox fans.

Also, they deserve it! It’s been ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT YEARS! If you haven’t seen the seemingly endless lists of “Things that have happened since the Cubs won the World Series,” let me refresh your memory. Someone born on the day the Wright Brothers first took off would not yet have turned five when the Cubs last won. That was a long, long time ago. I don’t think there’s anyone, save maybe White Sox fans, that won’t say the Cubs are due. They just aren’t due whenever your favorite team is playing.

Finally, they can’t win next year! The Red Sox are going to win next year! Sorry Cubs, I don’t like you guys THAT much. I am, after all, still, a Red Sox fan even if the Red Sox insist on breaking the hearts of us Red Sox fans, we still will be no matter what. But that’s why I respect Cubs fans. I know quite a few Cubs fans and I can’t say I have ever met a “bandwagon” Cubs fan. You guys are the real deal and I respect that. We have that much in common. Both our teams let us down a lot, but we always stick with them. Even if being a fan means more seasons ended with “maybe next year” then “let’s do it again,” we still love our teams.

So, to wrap it up, I want to see the Cubs win and they deserve it! So please don’t disappoint! I think that whether you want the Cubs to win this year or not if they do I think we can forgive "Back to the Future" for being one year off.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
