Jeff Passan writes a funny-but-true piece on the woes of the Cub fan at Yahoo!
He doesn't specifically mention 1984, which was the most painful moment for me. Ball rolls through Leon Durham's legs in game 5 (the inspiration for former Cub Bill Buckner's gaffe in the World Series two years later). Steve Garvey homers off Lee Smith in game 4. Not having home field advantage in spite of having the best record in the NL.
Not that I'm bitter.

As a 16 year Padre fan, this summer was the highlight on my time in SD. I went to game 3 and 4, but Sunday morning I woke up with 103 temp and sick as a dog. I couldn't go to the game and could barely watch, but my father kept calling me with updates from the game. Ohh what time that was. I ended up going to one World Series game and moved to Alabama Gulf Coast a month later. I sure do miss going to all those Padre and Charger games and eating "real" Mexican food, but that is all I miss.
War Eagle!
