Inland Waterways » and never-ending fandom that dates

Dear Cub fans, Theres probably no one on earth who understands you like we do here in Maple Leaf Land. All the losing, the mediocrity, and never-ending fandom that dates back generations, every one of them pining for the day when all the pain and suffering is over. What would that be like, Cub fans? No, we cant imagine it either. Yes, were unique in the sports world. Our teams can lose and lose and lose and lose and all that happens is people love them more. Your Cubs havent won a World Series since 1908, havent played in one since 1945. We here in Leaf Land arent quite that bad although the last time we won a Cup the NHL had three fewer teams in it than the CFL. Now this week we see youve hired a new manager. And Joe Maddon certainly comes highly recommended, having won lots of baseball games for that little mistake known as the Tampa Bay Rays, the team with no money and no fans and a stadium thats, well … no one will ever mistake it for Wrigley Field. But then again who are we in Toronto to make cracks about sterile, charmless baseball stadiums? But we digress. What we really want to talk to you about is this whole idea of trying to break your pattern of losing by hiring guys with proven records in other places. Boy do we know about that. Joe Maddon and Theo Epstein is a formidable combination, one bound to make you believe that this time is going to be different. I mean, how could you not believe after Maddon starting talking World Series at his Monday news conference. But we here in Toronto, we just want to warn you to be, well, cautious because weve been down this road before with our Maple Leafs. We know just what its like too when someone arrives in town with a shiny track record and big promises because weve seen that here in the centre of the hockey universe. We had Brian Burke and his truculence and pugnacity. And Tim Leiweke and his Stanley Cup parade route. Both those men were with teams which had recently won the Stanley Cup, but it didnt rub off on our Leafs. Oh, but it will be different with Joe Maddon, you insist. If he can win in Tampa Bay, he can win in Chicago. Well, be careful with that. Did you know the four most recent Maple Leaf head coaches all managed to get their teams to the Stanley Cup final. Thats right, Pat, and Paul and Ron all took their teams to the big dance and Randy even led his team to win a Stanley Cup. So you see, sometimes trees dont transplant so easy, Cub fans. Just dont say we didnt warn you that not even genius can overcome history. Sincerely, Leaf Nation Tyrod Taylor Browns Jersey .
