Thanks, Boberino, but....

The problem is.... that as an "RCF," (recovering Chicago fan, all sports), I know that the flipside of your reassuring mindset is part of my path to sure, hoodwinked destruction. "We can still win this thing" is the mantra of many a heart-crushed Chicagoan as we go down to the dust. Even as the Bulls and the Bears celebrated the championship wins they DID finally achieve, that was still the mantra, with its "maybe next year" echo in counterpoint.

So I cannot, as a RCF, if I really want to aim for total wellness, allow myself the start thinking that the Pens/Caps record means a damn thing. The TVblatters were FULL of assurances last night that no game-6-elimination-game had even been won by the Caps, and then, of course, they DID.


See our struggle? And beerlessly.
