What the fuck is wrong with you people? You are obviously too stupid to fathom the concept of satire.The irony here is that Steve Goodman was actually dying of lukemia at the time. Fuck tou all for your sophmoric bullshit.and by the way; what has any of this to do with President Elect Obama? Kiss my white ass you racist sucker of cock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

coople and alneums are serious losers. The Sox are Chicago's only MLB team because they actually won the World Series in our lifetimes. What have the flubs done? Lose, lose and lose some more. Pathetic. No one likes the scrubs, they are a joke, the laughingstock of all sports. And you say 09 is their year? Hahaha, you idiots say that EVERY year! Pathetic losers, all of you. No wonder you like the most pitiful team in human history. You're hopeless

WTF. That comment was for me? Well, fuck you! You're the moron. And the rest of my life will be very happy indeed, I have a beautiful girlfriend unlike you, you loser.

Packer -- my most sincere apologies. My comment was intended for Eddie not you. I actually gave your comment a thumbs up. Guess I mis-clicked. Steve Goodman is my hero and I miss him constantly.

I will suggest that one ought to direct such a remark directly to its intended recipient, and reiterate Eli's discouragement of such behavior on YouTube. A glance at your profile suggests that you are from Chicago and an Obama supporter, so it seems likely that you are defending Steve Goodman and Cubs fans. But can you imagine Barack telling Bush something like "Hope you have a happy rest of your life, moron"? Try to be as classy and you will not find yourself in such dire straits.

Hope you have a happy rest of your life, moron.

Why does every decent video on youtube have to be turned into a pissing contest. Just listen to the damn song. This is just a song. Christ. What is the matter with yall? IT is a good song.

Amen! It's also about our national pastime in general, and, more importantly, about dedication and acceptance. I am very disappointed by the single minded blockheads that don't realize the enormity of this simple tune, and I am even more disappointed by those that can't just enjoy a respectable performance by a dying legend.

I'm with you alneums, Eddie you are an idiot. Firstly, I'm a huge Blue Jays fan but how can you not like a team that has a 90 year old ball park and hasn't won in a 100 years. What's the name of the ball park this week that the Chisox play out of anyway? I'm pretty certain Steve Goodman would remain a Cubs fan just like millions others have during the 100 year drought. You have to like the Cubbies in 2009 I think it's their year,especially if they pick up Peavy and bring back Reed(Johnson).

The song is not even really about the cubs. It's about dying. And Chicago.
