"There's no rooting in the press box" -- "Don't hate on '08" -- 1060 West Addison Street -- Big shoulders, tiny feet -- Year of the goat -- The wilderness -- The chemo coach -- The red line -- The big question -- What is the sound of one Cubs fan not clapping? -- Got milk? Got pot. -- Go Cubs go! -- Post-season -- World Series! -- Game seven -- Afterward.
After his first Cubs game when Rich Cohen was eight, his father asked him to make a promise. "Promise me you will never be a Cubs fan. The Cubs do not win," he explained, "and because of that, a Cubs fan will have a diminished life determined by low expectations. That team will screw up your life." Here he captures the story of the team, its players and crazy days-- not just what happened, but what it felt like and what it meant. He searches for the cause of the famous curse, and came to see the curse as a burden but also as a blessing.
