My beef with the Cubs' arrogance
Boondock3806 replied to SeriesFinale's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The only time I tend to bring it up is when speculating on reasons Cubs fans are particularly obnoxious about winning, though I'm aware that doesn't come close to justifying it. The magnitude of the futility certainly adds a unique flavor to success that I never experienced with the 90s Bulls or last year's Bears, but which I have experienced at every single prolonged stretch of success the Cubs have had in my lifetime. We Cubs fans certainly don't corner the market on suffering (the team they're currently playing can stake a pretty strong claim there as well), but the size of the fanbase and the media circus (ie the incessant talk about curse and bartman and 69 and 08 etc etc) and the fact that their drought is current all contribute to the perception. We're also well aware that there are teams like the Pirates who are currently slated to designate half of their 2008 payroll to employ Cesar Izturis, Jack Wilson, and Matt Morris. That's suffering on a level that any sports fan has a hard time competing with. -
I'm a Cubs fan as well, and this thread is what kept me browsing here and eventually joining. The t-shirt with the list of injuries where Wood's falling out of a hot tub is one of the most awesome pictures I have ever seen. For fits and giggles, I thought I'd contribute a little something... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/cubbybear314/BartmanPhotoshop.jpg
