No I am a Brewer fan, almost as painful as being a Cub fan but we are not really supposed to win. I am surrounded by Cub fans and most of them are pretty nice people

Even though they support the most pathetic team in the history of sport.

Can you tell I grew up on the South Side of the Windy City?

Which apparently also puts you on the south side of the intellegence line...

So, just curious as to what measure you use to quantify "most pathetic team in sports"? Is it total World Championships? Well, then the White Sox are just barely ahead at 3-2. And that certainly puts the Cubs ahead of other teams, such as the Padres, Mariners, Rangers, Brewers, Angels, etc., who have none. How would you say the Cubs are worse than say, the Pittsburgh Pirates, who set the record last season for the most consecutive losing seasons, for any major professional sport? Btw, they broke the record set by the (no, not the Cubs) but the Phillies.

Yep, it's been a long time since the Cubs won their last championship, and I'm sure it was a painful childhood memory for you to witness their victory parade. But please refrain from using such obviously unintellegent comments, as it reflects badly on all former Chicago-area residents. Besides, you don't want to wake up some morning to find a goat's head on the pillow next to you...

Shame, shame, shame.......
