How We Receive Baseball and More Fun with the Comeback Win ...Middle East

As the Cubs went down big early yesterday, I was struck by a very weird thought: I am very angry, and also I am appreciating this experience.

I almost had to interrogate myself to figure out what the heck my mind and gut were saying. Obviously, I wasn’t enjoying seeing the Cubs struggle, either yesterday or in the frustrating losses that preceded it. That’s not what I WANT to see from the Cubs.

But if it’s going to happen sometimes anyway, the question is how you do you receive it as a fan? What provides the most enjoyment?

It used to be the case that I worked very hard to put all games – all moments, really – into a bigger context. Thinking about luck. Thinking about randomness. Thinking about 162 games. So on and so forth. I think the purpose there was to try to reduce that rising anger that always accompanies frustrating Cubs moments (and, candidly, I never like the idea that I am going to look like a fool when the Cubs go on their next heater).

But lately I wonder if that’s not actually the most fun way to do this whole thing. Maybe just letting myself be angry and flipping out and – yes, sometimes even knowingly overreacting – makes for an overall more enjoyable experience? I suspect the best answer overall is to “know thyself,” and do whatever gets you the most out of the experience (which might change over the days, months, and years), but I didn’t really land anywhere firm.

That’s partly because, of course, the Cubs staged a big comeback yesterday and wound up walking off the Pirates. There was no time to keep on mulling what I get out of the worst Cubs moments, because it was time to enjoy one of the best. Maybe that’s part of the trade-off: the highs feel all the much higher after letting yourself really feel the lows.

And that comeback, plus the walk-off, was an EXCELLENT early-season high. Some more things to enjoy from it …

Seiya beating PCA to the celebration scrum is a surprising upset, even with Seiya having been on base already:
