Sung to the tune of "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

Watch it here.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! (Go, Cubs, Go, Cubs)
With W's flying and everyone smiling,
You know fall is here!
It's the most wonderful time of the year! (Go, Cubs, Go, Cubs)

The Cubs created this promotional video for the playoffs and I love it so much. It captures what it's like around here these days. On every block you see someone wearing Cubbie blue. We spontaneously smile at each other, as if we're in some exclusive club. A woman walking a pit bull with a Cubs collar started talking to me, just because both her dog and my chest bore the team logo.

Then the game happened. It didn't go as we would have liked, but it's October and my guys are in again ... third year in a row! The fans of more than 20 MLB teams don't have the pleasure I'm enjoying right now.
