I’m going Cubs, too!

(Since my Angels went down in flames, the Marines fell just short, and my new team, the Diamondbacks, never realized the season had started.)

I'm from that other Peoria - half-way between Chicago and St. Louis. Half the town is Cubs fans, the other half Cardinal fans. When they play each other, it's war.

Our minor league team, the Peoria Chiefs was a Cubs affiliate for years, now they're a Cardinal affiliate. Many big name major league players and managers have Peoria roots.

Last year the Cardinals had the best team in baseball, but the Cubs knocked them out in four games. For us Cub fans, that was almost as good as winning the World Series. Most Cub fans this year were relieved we didn't have to play the Cardinals in the NLDS.

This year, the Cubs have it all together. Only 9 more wins to go, but we're all nervous as hell.
