By the way, I see in the video a flag with an "L"; what does it stands for?....big hugs to all of u, and keep on the faith, my friends !

@johnstone2010—After each home game, the Cubs fly a flag indicating the result of that day's game. If the Cubs win, the flag is white with a blue W. If they lose, the flag is blue with a white L. The tradition dates back decades and decades, before the Internet and before 24-hour news. It was the team's way of telling fans in the neighborhood (or those passing by on the "el" train) what happened in the day's game.

@kchoma017 ok, my friend, thanks a lot for the explanation, I've seen more videos from cub fans and I can understand all the dissapointment involved; just go on keeping the faith and u will see good days coming by; there maybe years and years of coming empty handed, but I'm pretty sure that when the championship comes, all of u will party the hell out, erasing all the difficult years, just like we did....go on my cub friends!

[johnstone2010]

I am a huge fan of the Boston Red Sox and the LA Dodgers, but I admire the spirit and passion of the Cubs; remember there were great cub teams and players; I feel truly bad and discouraging atmosphere around here which certainly I can understand; the only thing I can say to all of u cub fans is that don't stop believing; it carried out for us, to take away 86 years of empty hands by passing over hated Yank's and a deficit of 3-0 and later the Card's in 2004, and again in 2007 vs Rox; u can do it

from a true Cubbies fan, well done. That is awesome. I will spread it around. I

@miketriharder — Thanks, Mike. It was a labor of love, and love's labors lost. Go Cubs!

The day the Cubs season died was Henry's tunnel vision towards Peavy And Lou's we need a switch hitter named Bradley. A switch hitter is still an ass no matter what uni he wears.

[J19901]

the season ended when Mark Derosa was traded for Milton Bradley

[howdyimme]

I feel sorry that Bradley didn't work out, of course, I called it when they signed him, I said , and i quote "He was on;ly good because of the Rangers field." Damn, i'm good.
