Worth it.

Apparently the Cubs are a basketball team now. Who knew?

Would have been better if there were more cubs stuff in the second bag.

Yeesh, & I thought the duct-taping parents were evil...

Classic White Sox fan: treat the Cubs as your greatest rival, even though they're not even in the same league, and only play six games a year against each other.

She's like you Farkers when Tom Brady is mentioned (new window)

uhhh....

downstairs: Ha! Reminds me of my family. My dad- a die hard White Sox fan and Cubs hater. We would actually get in a lot of trouble for even watching a Cubs game on TV.

Your dad was looking out for your future happiness

Yep! Scored tickets to every 2005 playoff game but one.

Never been able to score Cubs World Series tix.

I wonder why.

I was walking through Wrigleyville once (with my Sox hat on) and a guy in a Cubs shirt said to me "Hey....fark Chicago!" How do you NOT hate all that represents?

No six year old would react that way unless their parent(s) taught her that behavior.

...are you retarded? A kid won't cry if they don't get a gift they want...how many kids have you been around. They cry when they dont get anything let alone the wrong christmas gift.

Oh I agree, and I'm a Cubs fan. Lot's of bad apples in our barrel, sadly.

downstairs: Yes, some are still like that. But a pretty large portion quit doing that after 2005.

Also, a lot of us don't treat the Cubs as a rival... we just absolutely enjoy the hilarious collapses.

Ugh, the late season collapses are terribly scarring - although if the Cubs are bad by July, I just shrug my shoulders and enjoy the stress-free, meaningless baseball.

Wait until next year...

Cubs Nation pretty much snapped in 2003 after the Bartman game. Prior to that, we were a pretty happy-go-lucky fine-day-to-be-at-the-ballpark lot. After that, our brains broke and ever since we've been "NOOOOOOOOOOO WHY DIDN'T WE GO TO THE WORLD SERIES GET US BACK THERE RIGHT THE FARK NOW YOU ASSHOLES".

Honestly. We're not over the Bartman game at all. We got pissed and we haven't gotten any less pissed since.

Ok, I will bite. I raised two kids, one a nurse in the Air Force going to Afghanistan in June with an Army unit. The other one is also a nurse, so both my children save lives for a living. What do yours do? They are now working on their Masters, then PhD's. If any parent gives their children everything they want, then they are they retard.

so, maybe you didn't teach your kids to cry, but i think its safe to say you taught them to be smarmy.

Really? I can remember two epic childhood meltdowns after the Redskins lost a late-season contest against the lowly Colts (can you tell I'm old?) and the Georgetown Hoyas lost in the Big East tournament. I was ~9-10 years old. Both times, my dad basically told me to chill the fark out and enjoy sports but not get so hung up on them.

I've never seen my dad get remotely angry at the TV while watching sports and as an adult, neither do I.

He retarded.

I've often pondered how you chose your team in multi-team cities. Is it a family tradition? Mascot? Flip a coin?
Mets/Yanks
Giants/Jets
Cubs/White Sox
Clippers/Lakers
Steelers/Any other NFL team

I miss the days when the typical Cubs fans didn't seem to be actively trying to make themselves hated by other fanbases.

We? Speak for yourself. I wish they'd won too, but I'm not pissed at Bartman -- I'm pissed at Alou et al, the professionals being paid to play, who couldn't hold it together. I don't know a single Cubs fan in real life who really thinks that Bartman is somehow the root of all evil -- I've sure read lots of columnists and White Sox fans who seem to think that's the case, though.

Well, as a product of a Cubs/White Sox union, I can tell you that for me it was due to very careful, patient, diligent nurturing on my father's part of my natural tendencies for being a decent human being that turned me into a loyal fan of the MIGHTY Chicago White Sox, saving me from the horrible fate of acting like a Trixie, preferring inferior pizza, and eventually moving to Schaumburg.

/goddammitsomuchkenny.
//know a couple guys who grew up on the South Side with me who are cubs fans. How the heck does that happen, anyway?
///btw, Southpaw is on Twitter trying to find the identity of the kid so that she can have a decent Christmas.

But the disappointment proves too much for the little devoted basketball fan to handle and she breaks down in tears.


Why are British "journalists" so farking ignorant?

I get that the Cubs pillow pet was a bear cub. But what was that green thing in the White Sox uniform? I guess when your team isn't named after an animal, you just wing it?

Southpaw. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be, but it has a fantastic wardrobe and a rather enjoyable twitter account. Also, The Onion interviewed it a while ago:

So, I guess kind of like the Phillie Phanatic? I feel like there's more unusual mascots out there, but only Wally the Green Monster and Youppi come to mind.

The Phanatic has its own personality, a lot more slapstick and goofypants brazen on the field. I was thoroughly entertained by it when I hit a Phillies game last year.

Never said Bartman is why people are angry now, and I know better, though that's absolutely, indisputably where the anger crystalized. You boo a fan so hard the police have to get him out of the stadium for his own safety and he goes into hiding for years, don't tell me nobody hates Bartman that much. In hindsight, we look at Alou, we look at Gonzalez, we look at the guys on the field, we look at all the things that led to that moment.

But it's like the Red Sox fans looking at all the moments that led to the ball going through Buckner's legs. Analyze all you want, spread blame around all you want, but it's always that one guy who ends up shouldering all the hatred, and they end up shouldering it alone.

Don't believe me? Let's see how the fans react if Bartman shows up at a Cubs game this coming season. I don't think the fans are going to exactly be willing to forgive.

My brothers' GF told me if I buy my nephew a White Sox outfit she would toss it in the garbage.

Clippers/Lakers

Hahahaha, [sneering tone] the Clippers [/sneering tone]. Please. The Lakers main rival is, and always will be, the thugs from Beantown, the Celtics. When the Clippers dominate a decade like the Lakers and Celtics did the 80's, then we'll talk.

She looks like my niece. CSB time. Nephew is having 6th birthday party. My brother and his DMB listening, Cub loving Dbag buddies are all going to be there, and he tells me it's a Cubs themed party. Wife and I show up in full White Sox regalia. I can't believe my brother actually got mad about it, knowing my disdain for the Cubs. Little man still got Cubs gifts from us, but I felt so dirty buying them.

Well, first off the AL wins. You can't go for a retro-league team. So, the Yankees.

How many people live in Florham Park? 8000? So we don't need to worry about the Jersey Jets and Giants.

Cubs? Again, retro league.

Clippers over the Lakers, for not having a sexual assualter.

It helps them feel important, it helps them feel as if someone is actually paying attention to their little meaningless baseball team but them.

Besides associating yourself with greatness is a step stone to becoming great. Look what its done for the Red Sox.

White Sox have won a world series in the past century. Reinsdorf doesn't treat the team like a tourist attraction like Tribune did and the Rickets do.
