Cubs fans everywhere

[Parade_Rain]

You have mental issues and I truly feel bad for you

All anyone needs to know about the quality of your posts here is this one-

"Cubs have morphed into one of the worst teams in baseball. Not a chance in hell they would win a single playoff game. Forum members and ESPN reporters claiming this is one of the best teams in history are fucking morons."

First off, the Cubs are probably the least despised team in baseball (them or Washington) cause they ain't won shit in anyone's lifetime. People like an underdog, who turns it around. Sure their are band wagoners. Who cares?

And **** off omelet. Just because the rest of us weren't alive when baseball cards came in cigarette packs, does not mean we're lesser fans. Or that we don't understand the game. We've all had to sit there and endure the insults and tired jokes, as our team ripped our hearts out year after year.

Why be upset at band wagon fans? It not like they are enjoying it as much as us anyway. Their high will never be as high as ours, because they never had to suffer the lows.

Bob Newhart is 87 and proudly flying the W. Being an awesome human being rather than a dickhole, he is not saying "if you weren't alive the last time the Cubs won the pennant then you are a bandwagon jumper".

Honest question.

Ok so I'm not a baseball fan really. Games on tv just don't keep me entertained unless it's post season. I do go to 2 games a year because live games are amazing. I go one cubs one sox because my gf is the devil and loves the sox. My entire family are Cubs fans so I have been a Cubs "fan" my entire life. I pay attention some. I usually know most of our players however I don't really watch the games other than post season which is rare for the cubs and a few regular season games a year at home.

So am I a fair weather fan or not?

Edit: I did watch a lot more games before I was working in the kerry wood, zombrano, pryor era.

I'm happy to be a bandwagon fan this go around. In the mid-90s I had season tickets for a few seasons and used to be a fan that could tell you any stat at any given moment. Then I came to a logical conclusion. I was sick of supporting bad ownership. So I stopped caring and watching sometime around 2007 or so. Between the steroid thing, the forever urine smell at Wrigley, the Tribune, and flat out falling asleep watching 140 games. It's just ridiculous. You would be surprised at how much I know about baseball without being active here.

The REAL fans need this run, need this jumpstart over the last few seasons. Being a die-hard fan through a rough patch is one thing, but the Cubs have faced more than a rough patch. So much so, they have a nickname. The lovable losers. Now that is the definition of bad! I sympathize with all the fans that shared the same logical conclusion, that when ownership autopilots the team for decades, boycott their ass and hope enough people do the same. Just don't be stupid to pass up the historic bandwagon.

Why is everybody worried about everybody else? If you like watching the Cubs, whether it's been for 3 weeks or 3 decades just go with it.





You know, that said, I've been a fan for 40 years, so there's that... *ducks* :tiptoe:

It's not just because they just caught on to what's happening and wanted to somehow be involved....happens everywhere when a team gets this far, we saw it with the Hawks. A lot of us were getting pissed because they were ripping the players, the manager and nearly everything in blue because they wren't rolling over a very good Giant team. Most of us know this team from watching them grow together and hearing 3 week long fans belittling them gets old in a hurry. But in the end, they came back and won the very game they were being ripped for which made the belligerent newbies look very foolish.
