NLCS Game 6

Good evening Cub fans,

I am a sentimental human being. Our life is filled with moments, and some we treasure more than others. At this point, I have been blessed to experience the following:

1.) Met the love of my life in undergrad
2.) Married the love of my life
3.) Purchased our first home together
4.) Find out AT WRIGLEY DURING THE SEVENTH INNING STRETCH that we are expecting our first child. And it is a little boy.

That last one has changed how I view the world. I am so excited to be a Dad. I have a lot of nerves, but I cannot wait to share my love of baseball with him as he grows up.

All that stuff aside, tonight could be a different type of special. Tonight, the team that I have invested my time, spirit, money, and heart may do something that they have not done in 71 years. I feel so spoiled. I have only had to suffer 27 years, while fans I met have waited for this day.

We were so close in '03. So. Stinking. Close. I don't need to go into the nitty gritty details, for anyone who may be reading this knows exactly what I am talking about.

So that brings me back to the start. I have decided to try to write down some of my thoughts as this game goes by. How I am feeling. How I am processing. I think in the future, I can look back at this and smile if it ends up being a special.

First pitch, coming up. Kershaw vs Hendricks. The Best v.s. The Professor.

Here. We. Go.
