You Cub fans have no class. Last year Cardinal fans, including myself really pulled for you guys in the playoffs. All I have read and heard about is how you jealous Cub fans are, and how you are all so happy that the cardinals got swept. Cubs fans deserve to go another hundered years before you make it to the World Series! Once again an example of what big cry babies you guys are. I hope your team totally falls apart!
I believe Stoney should run the show on the North Side and do whatever Chowd management did in Bean Town. I wanna see a championship on the North Side sometime in my lifetime. The Chowds finally ended their pain and suffering, now it's OUR time for OURS to end. STONEY 4 GM! Die Hard Cubs Fan
Stoney was correct, no excuse for the Cubbies not going to the playoffs this season. They had a potent offense and a stellar pitching rotation. My Cubbies lost focus and that chemistry that they had last season. Go Cubs and I hope the Cards get swept tonight so the Chowds can celebrate after all those years of pain and suffering, and hopefully our turn comes NEXT YEAR. True Blue Cubbie Fan 4 Life
god
The, ummm... ryne sandberg game? I was there too... but I was too young to remember anything about it. :p Stupid cardinals and red sox...
GO CUBS FOREVER!!!
I am a 28 year old long time Cub fan. My Dad took me to my first game when I was 10 years old back in '86. It was a September game against Pittsburgh. Ryne Sandberg hit a solo home run and the Cubs won 1-0. Ever since that day I have been an avid, out of control, obsessed Cub FANATIC! I have gotten in shoving matches in bars with Cardinals and white sox fans. I have gotten in family arguements on Christmas and Labor Day. I have thrown beers at the t.v. and the wall. I guess I need help but I dont want to stop loving the Cubs. I still want to care. I still want it to be a reflex to jump out of my seat when they win. But, I guess I should stop getting in fights over this. I mean I am taking the Chicago Police exam next month!!!
I don't care what bad comments they make about the CUBS. I'm a true CUBS fan for ever! Like they say "For Better or Worse"!
The ivy is dead again. October 2004. All hail the goat!
I saw you on fox tonight. I wish I would've known about you sooner. S. Bartman
MY KIDS VISIT THIS SITE! CANT YOU ASSHOLES WATCH YOUR FUCKIN LANGUAGE!
I bet half of these posts will be taken off the page by tommorow. They probably should be too.
---- SOSA, HE WALKED OUT ON HIS TEAM AND THE FANS! HE SHOULD BE TRADED! I LOVE THE CUBBIES
Hey I agree with what the shirts says the Cubs do suck it is so funny how the Cubs always find a way to blow it every year. And you should not blame game 6 in the 2003 NLCS on Steve Bartman. You should blame the shortstop, he blew it on the very next hit ball. The Cubs are not cursed they just suck. In closing, Go White Sox, and Go Astros, and oh yeah Go Cardinals!!!!!!!!!
"Sox fan that posts on this site must be a homo, all he wants to talk about is gay sex and gay neighborhoods. Gee I wonder whos gay? Cubs fans have jobs, sox fans have drinking problems." Hmmmmmm....Gotta love that statement.....Cubs fans DITCH work to goto the afternoon games, and get drunk.. White Sox fans finish a full day of work, then go see a night game....C'mon you chub fan, wakeup.
Wrigley field is a dump, the team sucks, and chokes at every chance they can. And whats even worse are all the so-called "loyal" fans that bitch and moan about every little thing the team does wrong. And you gotta love a team where the man who wears the captain's "C" on his jersey left the game early unbeknownst to anybody......The Southside: Better food, colder beer, and better fans.
Cards R Tards, you're a fag, get a life
I've been a Cub fan my whole life and to me the one thing that would get me over my "loveable loser depression" would be to see the Red Sox win the World Series, that way Boston can stop complaining about how their curse is worse. C'mon our curse has been going on ten years longer than theirs, and they've won 3 more World Series than us. Just get Boston out of the way so that all of the baseball world can be a Cubs fan.
Sox fan that posts on this site must be a homo, all he wants to talk about is gay sex and gay neighborhoods. Gee I wonder whos gay? Cubs fans have jobs, sox fans have drinking problems.
SOX FANS ARE TRASHY ILLITERATE INBREDS!!! GO CUBS!!!
I saw you on fox tonight. I wish I would've known about you sooner. S. Bartman
You people are the biggest group of losers in history!! You worship a team that continually rips people off and love a team that has no chance of winning. This is a mockery to the REAL 12 steps designed to help people whi are REALLY sick. You people are just stone jagoffs. Your stadium is in the middle of fag land and you love a loser team!!
Great Site--Good luck!!
FYI. Several years ago the league initiated a Major League rule that all alcohol vending be stopped after the 7th inning for obvious safety reasons. It had nothing to do with the Losers at Wrigley a few years ago that attacked the Dodgers. I am sure though that the league had a few cities in mind when they created the rule, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York, come to mind.
There is a Yankees fan, a Red Sox fan, a Cardinals fan, and a Cubs fan that decide to go mountain climbing. The whole way up the mountain all four are arguing over who is the most dedicated to their team. When they reach the top the Yankees fan stands and says "This is for my team" and he leaps off the mountain and falls to his death, committing the ultimate sacrifice for his team. The Red Sox fan, not wishing to be outdone stands and says "This is for my team" he follows and jumps to his death. The Cardinals fan stands up and says "This is for my team" and he pushes the Cubs fan off the mountain.....GO CARDS!!! Sorry Cub Fans, but all of us here in St. Louis are loving this! This year the Cubs were cocky, arrogant, and acted like JERKS! Perhaps you would have been able to rack up a few more victories and maybe got the wildcard if your team would have concentrated on winning games instead of acting like children when things didn't go their way! Unless your team gets focused there won't be a postseason for you next year either! You are no longer "Loveable Losers" You're just Losers!
The Cubs had a breakout year. They broke two long standing records. Thirty-two years without back-to-back winning seasons and sixty-eight years without winning 88 games back-to-back. Every team is entitled to have a bad century!
Ive been a cubs fan my entire life...but this year would have to say was the most dissapointing season...I agree with Steve Stone...we should have won this year...this team had so much talent...They had the best pitching staff in the league...they added GarciaParra...im very surrprised they lost... I have alot of respect for Dusty BAker but he made alot of mistakes this season...first the 2b pistion...that was Todd walkers postion not Marks...And also bullpen...Farnsowrth was having a terrible season but yet dusty brought him out every night...The exact with the rest...Most dissapointing though was LaTroy Hawkins...the last five years of the season we had a lead and latroy blew them and gave them away like the game against the mets...were up by 2...2 outs 2 strikes and latroy gives up a homer to tie it and then win...i hope GarciaParra stays along with alou sosa clement walker and hollandsworth... NEXT YEAR IS OUR YEAR!!!!!
Don't worry Cub fans, the pain is almost over..the yearly "wait till next year" will be ringing in the air... ahhh, the loveable losers do it again.
Quote: "White Sox fans, well I guess they're okay....when they're not in jail for storming out on the field like drunken idiots to attack an umpire of first base coach. " <-- Seems to me the reason the league stopped serving beer after the eigth inning was because of IDIOT drunken Cub fans fighting with the Dodgers. The idiot Sox fan got what he deserved. The idiot Cub fans screwed it up for the rest of us responsible drinkers across the country. Quote: "At Wrigley, fans enjoy the atmosphere before, during, and after the game. " Atmosphere? You must mean having to sit next to Cub fans who are on their cell phone during the whole game and not even watching the game, or the group of girls that go and just talk amongs themselves and have no clue what the game is all about. My 5 year old son had to tell these so-called Cubs fans to shut up and watch the game... At least at Comisky Park II the fans actually watch the game. And How do you explain to a baseball loving kid why the so-called Cubs fans are throwing garbage onto the field because the Cubs lost? Immature fans or people that should get a life. We can always get tickets at Comisky Park II because all the pseudo-fans go for the "atmosphere" at wrigley.
Quote: "Although this website is funny, my reason for not joining is I don't want to fall into the trap of being a pessimist. As frustrated as we all get like tonight (9/28/04), true Cubs fans somehow are always optimistic." <--- You're kidding right?
Seems like the Cubs are doing it again....Give it up people....Cubs had the easiest path to win the wildcard spot, and true to form they choke once again... No excuses, they lost and don't deserve to be in the playoffs
Although this website is funny, my reason for not joining is I don't want to fall into the trap of being a pessimist. As frustrated as we all get like tonight (9/28/04), true Cubs fans somehow are always optimistic. I have no doubt that before I die, I will see a world championship banner flying over Wrigley Field.
You Cub fans have an excuse for everything! Billy Goats, Bartman, and now injuries. Let's just postphone the season for the poor Cubs!!!! Don't forget the Cardinals were without closer Jason Isringhausen most of last season. Injuries are part of the game, if we had Izzy healthy last season who knows what would have happened? I guarantee one thing, the Cardinals won't ever be 17 and a half games behind the Cubs EVER! I would like to see a Cards/cubs playoff series so the Cards can stomp on the cubs again! Looks like the Wild Card is gonna go to Houston anyway. Hey cub fans, have fun watching the Cards in the World Series this year!
If it was not for the injuries the Cubs would be in first place right now. We still lead in the Wild-Card race and come October we will be giving the Cardinals what they deserve, a trip home without a World Series!
I am not an expert on Chicago. I have heard about the curse of the Billy Goat. I am very familar with the term "Loveable Losers", and I am aware of the fact that the annual World Series has been Cubless for a long, long time. But I think that if we are talking about losers The White Sox are the clear losers of Chicago. History states that the White Sox also haven't won a World Series since before 1920. The Cubs in their history have been to the Fall Classic 10 times, the Sox just 4. In the last 25 years The Cubs have made it to the post-season 4 times, of course, they lost them all, but the White Sox have only been there 3 times, and they lost every series also. Let's go beyond the stats. Wrigley Field is a Baseball fans Nirvana, it doesn't get any better than Wrigley, and the fans show support whether the Cubs are 5 games up, or 25 games out. At Wrigley, fans enjoy the atmosphere before, during, and after the game. The White Sox, they play where? US Cellular, Comisky II. No matter what it called, it aint no Wrigley! White Sox fans, well I guess they're okay....when they're not in jail for storming out on the field like drunken idiots to attack an umpire of first base coach. Fan Support, ever been to a White Sox game in September? The stadium is a ghost town! And, fans at US Cellular better get off the premises immediately following the game or you may get robbed and beaten. Hang your heads high Cub Fans. Your are(by far)the best the Windy City has to offer!
Nomar trades in one curse for another. I think he had a better shot with the sox!
I am 28 years old and live in Central Illinois. My Grandfather has always been a die-hard Cardinal fan, my Dad has stood by the Cubbies all his life. My Grandfather tells stories about sitting in the right field stands in the old Sportsman Park watching the Cardinals beat the Yankees in the World Series, in I believe 1964. He also says he was there in 67 and 68 cheering on the Cardinals against the Red Sox and the Tigers. My grandfather has a ball that he keeps on the fireplace mantel that was hit foul off the bat of Ken Oberkfell in 1982 (the Cards beat the Brewers in the World Series that year). My Dad......well he told me a story once about how he almost cried when the Cubs lost to the Padres in the playoffs in 84. I feel kinda sorry for my kids, they will never hear great baseball stories from their Grandpa, like I did.
arE YOU EXCITED? For the past couple of games I know we all have been feeling stressed and that our chase for the wild card has seem to be slipping away . But with last nights win I know that it is not over. One step at a time, no need to be greedy. We just need to play with consistency and the basic fundementals of baseball which is get on base and score!!!!! CUB LUV..... the race is still within reach.
J-Booogie the post on July 26th was me at 16:18:31 so holla back
Why is it that we fall behind everytime after we lose a game in a series? I mean, Friday we did so well, but when it comes down to it the next couple of games against the Phillies was "CRAP". I mean I had a stroke sitting there watching the game sunday. I think I wanted to go to the ER after the homer was hit at the bottom of the ninth. It just sealed my coffin so tight that I wanted to just yell and kick my TV.
How much of comments forwarded to your site refers to the "Golden Years" of the 'Left Field Bleached Bums' (65-74')? I'm curious having been a member at one time.
Just had to report that this group's esteemed leader grabbed a foul ball at the Reds game on Wednesday...this after I dropped another one that barely cleared the screen behind home plate. He was so embarrassed by my drop that he had to move (okay, so the rain made him move), and the ball went right to him! The Cubs won 5-4, and there were some signs of improvement, but I don't think they can rely on the long ball (all runs were a result of HRs). They still need to work on getting the fundamentals, but I think that it's something that can be improved, and the division isn't out of the question yet (maybe I need this group more than I thought).
You thought the Cubs signed the wrong Alou when they signed Moises? Who did you want, Matty? You're insane. Get back on your cellphone and grab your seat in the bleachers, you know-nothing moron.
ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT WHEN THE CUBS SIGNED MOISES ALOU I KNEW THEY SIGNED THE WRONG ALOU. INSTEAD WE GET DUSTY BAKER WHO WASN'T WANTED BACK BY A TEAM THAT WENT TO THE WORLD SERIES. DOES ANYONE STILL THINK JIM HENDRY IS A FREAKEN GENIUS? ITS STONEY TIME! TIME FOR STEVE STONE TO MOVE INTO THE FRONT OFFICE!
I hate the freakin Cards, but they are mentally strong enough to come back from anything, a bad day sucky pitching and the cubs cant get in to their heads, us on the other hand we are nothing but head cases with no discipline, who cant come back from a one run deficit let alone 7 runs. Then hwen they are down a few runs havinga bad day, they dont try to rally they dont play baseball, they turn into tantroming f#ckin children. Lovable losers is right although this year its hard to love them with their unsportsmanlike bullsh#t. R.M.
Heard on the radio this morning SOSA = Strikes Out Swinging Again
check out www.wrigleyexpansion.com - it is a cool site.
The Cubs suck...they have psyched themselves out of a championship - AGAIN !
the cubs just lost to the cardinals. oh well. posted by Jeff Kalhagen, of cartel orange. www.geocities.com/cartelorange
Zambrano proved last night that he is the biggest jack-off in baseball!
Well Well, looks like the Cards are up 7 games on the Cubs at the break.. the June swoon came a little late this year. Oh well, you guys can fight the Brewers for the Wild Card still.
Here is a friendly message to all cub fans. Why put yourself through the agony again. You want a winner? Try routing for the Cardinals. Let's look at the facts. Yeah, on paper you have the best pitching staff in the NL, but, as luck would have it, you're looking up at the Cardinals in the standings. The Cardinals, on the other hand had many question marks at the start of the season, but we're winning! Mark my words, at the end of the season St. Louis will be on top. Cub fans get ready to repeat your all too familar phrase....."Wait until next year".
GO CUBS
Now that the Cubs are near the bottom of the division again, it kinda feels right. - Jason
My name is Jack. I have been a Chicago Cubs fan form 25 years. Ever since I was 10 years old I loved the Cubbies. The Cubs keep losing and I can't take it! I'm so sick and tired of being a Cubs fan and losing. When you like the Cubs, you are used to losing and being frustrated.
Who would win in a foul ball catching contest between Steve Bartman and god? Trick Question, Steve Bartman is god. You should all repent and become Sox fans, put down the cell phone and try cheering for a real team. White Sox Baseball: Kicking Cub A$$ since 1906!
My name is Jeff, and I have been a Cub fan for the last 10-years of my life (I'm currently 17). It's been painful. Real painful. I need help! I don't know how to get over a loss; even in a 162-game season. A championship would be nice. But until then, I'll continue to support my favorite baseball franchise, and hope that they someday give me something to cheer about.
My name is Robert,and I have been a Cubs fan for all of my 27 yrs. I was born in Chicago, and now I live in Texas, I watch the Cubs games whenever they can show it down here, but when they do I get out my cubs hat and jersey. I cant wait for them to win a championship, because not only will it be for the city of chicago but also for all those cubs players that have never won a championship like Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, Ryan Sandberg, Andre Dawson, Rick Sutcliffe and for Harry Carry of course. Because they have been so close so many times, I think that it is about time that they win one at least.
My name is Matt...my favorite team is the Cubs, and I love to see them win. Every year if they don't win a World Series I cry...I can't stand the pain...hopefully this group will help me!:'(
MY name is Conor. I have been a Cubs fan for all 16 years of my life. Most of those years have been painful and sad ones. But this year...this year will be different. GO CUBS!!!!
Hi! My name is Tyler, and I am addicted to the Chicago Cubs. The doctor told me the disease is hereditary because my grandma, my dad, and I are addicted to the Cubs. We love the Cubs. I'm so addicted that I am skipping my Senior Prom to go to the Cubs game on May 8th. It'll be my first time in the bleachers! So "GO CUBS!" And in the words of Harry Caray, "Let me hear you!"
Hi my name is Meredith and I love The Cubs. I am a 19 year old college student, and have been brought up as a Cub fan. I have an unnaturally deep hate for the White Sox. I was in shock for an entire week before responding to "the foul ball incident". Seriously, I just didnt talk about it. Anyway, I feel like this season that I am on the road to recovery. GO CUBS!
Hi my name is Sean and i'm a Cubs fan.Since'83 i've been going thru some "highs" and alot of "lows"!I don't believe in curses,but what happened in game 6 last year i really wonder!Because of that i will"NEVER" drink beer and celebrate early.When there was 5 outs to go in the game and every Cub fan was beginning to believe,i decided to open a 6 pack of beer that i was vowing not to open 'til after they won the game and got to the World Series.Well guess what happened right after i popped the cap off the bottle and took a swig of beer,the infamous "foul ball"incident!And what happened afterwards,man i've never felt like such total crap!All i could do was sit there in front of the tv and stare in disbelief,i litterally did'nt move for an hour and you know what i still makes me ill every time i see a replay on tv or someone metions it in a conversation. Anyway at least next year is here,i hope! GO-OHHHHHHHHHHH CUBBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has been 7 months now since the October nightmare and i'm now looking forward to "FINALLY" getting the"job"done this year! I've been a Cubs fan since '83 and since then, have suffered w/other fans during '84,'89,'98 and '03!This season will either end on a high note or as many times before,on a low note.What i'm trying to say is even if it takes"forever",i'll forever be a fan of the CUBS.I don't believe in curses,but after game 6 last year i wonder!One thing is for sure, i'll never open a bottle of beer and celebrate early next time.W/5 outs to go i decided to start drinking the 6 pack of beer that i told myself i would'nt touch until they got to the World Series.Well guess what happened when i popped the cap off the bottle and took a swig,the infamous"foul boul"!Next time i'll wait!!! GO CUBBIES!!!! FOREVER A FAN, Sean W. Tn.
I love the Cubs before all else. I will cry like a baby when they finally win it all. The day cannot come soon enough.
Hey Andrew, you are not a die-hard Cardinals fan if you hope the Cubs make the playoffs next year. A true die-hard Cardinals fan would never enjoy seeing the Cubs win. Get off the fence!
My name is Chris. I am a Cubs fan. Have been for all 28 years of my life and since before that. My grandfather shed tears for them in ’45 when that horrible goat first reared its foul little head, and then again in ’69 with my uncles when the Mets (spit) came from nowhere. I attended my first game when my mother was 5 months pregnant with me. Though I had an obstructed view, I knew those bleachers were my home. I’ve carried the torch of faith in the cubs through thick and thin ever since. My tattered old hats and the scars on my heart tell the story of all the ups, downs and near misses I’ve watched through the years. Then, last year in that horrible inning in October, as that ball sailed towards foul territory and Bartman’s eager hands, I heard that damned billy goat chuckle once more. I cried like the heavens were falling. I was so inconsolable that not even beer soothed my sprit. Those among you who share my faith know this pain. Those of you who don’t aren’t Cub fans. But this year a change is coming. I can see it in my dreams. I see that evil ball lying in shreds. I see an old friend returning home, wiser and stronger than when he left and ready to lead us to victory. I see a home run sailing over the ivy and into that historic old green scoreboard. I see a stern faced young man with an arm of steal stare down that billy goat, and I see that wretched little creature run for his life. I see a ring on Sammy’s finger. In 31 short days our historic season starts. As I sit here anxiously awaiting that first ball to fly across the plate, I hear my grandpa’s voice whispering to me, “Next year is here”. My name is Chris. I am a Cubs fan.
Greetings, My name is Andrew, and I am an 18 year old Cubs fan. The Cubs have always been one of my favorite teams ever since I was a little boy. I actually live in St. Louis, so I am a die-hard Cardinals fan, but I like the Cubs too and also the Boston Red Sox. I think the Cubs are going to do very well again in the coming season and hopefully make the playoffs again. Then if they can avert disaster like last year's NLCS debacle, we can celebrate the World Series Champion Chicago Cubs! And if not, well, there's always next year!
Hi, My name is Dennis and I am 15 years old. My first cubs game was before I can even remember. The first one I do remember was magical. I was 3 years old. I sat in the bleachers and sadly never had a chance to sit there again. Anyway I was hooked on Cubs baseball before I could walk: and my first work was Sandburg. Well this year was the best year in my life. The Cubs were in the playoffs and we have Mark Prior. People my be upset about losing in the NLCS but its ALOT better than the year before. So if all the CUbs fans just belive it could happen.(and yea that sounds really corny) -Lifetime Cubs Fan-Dennis
HI my name is alfredo I live in Venezuela South America and I am 22 years old, and 15 years devoted to Cubs fan, I went 2 times to the USA just to see Cubs games. And I don't know why I have to be a Cubs fan
Hi, My name is To... I mean uh Bill, yeah thats right its Bill. Bill Smith. Hi, My name is Bill Smith and I was a Cub fan all my life. I could name the entire starting line-up of the '69 team. I once spoke to Lee Smith while he was sitting the in the bull pen. I gave honors to Andre on a regular basis in right field. I had a favorite stool at Murphys. But then came the 2003 season. Could I dare to belive? Could I dare imagine a Cubs - Red Sox/Yankees W/S? Then came that inning. Poor Steve Bartman. He was just doing what every single fan on the planet would have done. Don't deny it, you know you would have. But now he is "the goat"! But how does the best fielding shortstop in the league drop that grounder? It hurts to think about it. It's too much! I can't take it anymore. As of right now I am swearing off the Cubs forever. But I love baseball. So which team should I follow. The White Sox? Yeah right, like that'll happen. The Cards - no way they're the enemy. The F#%@ing Mets? Not! The Brewers? BORING! I just moved to Arizona, so mayby the D-Backs. Not a bad team, they won a W/S this century, nice stadium, swimming pool and all. I don't know, it just doesn't feel right. I hear that one of the teams has spring training right here in Mesa AZ, where I live now. That's the answer, whatever team it is that has spring training here in Mesa, thats the team I'll follow! Just wait till next year!
Hello! My name is Jose and I am a Cus fan. I'm 24 years old and I live for the Cubs. I try to watch every game on TV and go to Wrigley at least twice a year. I had the misfortune to start watching the Cubs in the early 80's and just absolutely fell in love with the team. 1984 spoiled me as I was only 11 years old at the time and though that the Cubs would have many more winning moments. What a fool I was. As I got older and began to learn about the history of the Cubs, it was already to late. I was hooked. I need help. Every spring training I feel hope and think about the possibility of the Cubs finally winning a World Series. I can see my way clearly for now because the Cubs are mathematically eliminated. But next year I feel like I will be at it again. I will watch most of their games, take my two trips to Wrigley and watch the team for a couple of games on the road. Help me! --Jose in VA
Steve Bartman that dumb fan sure started the down fall!
Good day to all fellow Recovering Cubs Fans. My Name is Mark and I am A Cubs fan. I am 30 years old and have been going to Cubs games since I was 3. Do the math and you will realize that my first Cubs game was in that ill fated '69 season. I was not wise enough then to realize how that would be a foreshadowing of at least the next 27 years to come at Wrigley Field. I realize that I have a problem, as my moods tend to have a high correlation with the Cubs team and their success or failures. I have been brought to new emotional highs in 1984 when they made the playoffs for the first time in my life, and brought to new lows within a week as they lost the NLCS on my 18th birthday. I am in a real dilemma, can I just throw away the past that was once so important to me. How can I toss my personalized autograph poster of "Ryno" or store away my game worn jerseys? What will go in the blank space left by my limited addition remake of Norman Rockwell's "The Bat Boy" More importantly what will go in those empty spaces that I reserved in my heart for those hapless wonders, who have to not only watch as I do, but live the horror of a 162 game season.

hi
To the person who just submitted claiming that baseball is stupid. Here is a question. What the hell are you doing on this website? If that is the way you feel then why would you waste your time trying to convince us of your inaccurate observations! Baseball gives us all a reason to put away our troubles and enjoy ourselves for awhile. You are the one who is taking it way too seriously! Whether we are Cub Fans who can't wait til next year, Cardinal fans who believe that Mark Prior is the Antichrist, White Sox fans who believe that the Sox are a real baseball team, or yes, even Yankee fans (bums) there is one thing we share, we will continue to spend money, time, and most of all passion on Americas Greatest Pastime, and we will LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT! But as for you, my friend, you will obviously go through your life putting down the things that you can't understand while trying to build yourself up by claiming to be smarter than the rest of us.... I think I speak for the rest of us when I say...."Get a Life"!
Baseball is stupid just like the fans. Just read the mindless banter. It is just a game! Get a grip! Big deal and who cares. It is just an artificial mind implant to suck money out of all of you so these athletes,coaches,trainers and owners can live a lifestyle most of you will never achieve. Oh by the way, the guys I just mentioned, they could care less about any of you.
Wait until next year, for sure this time.
To the Cardinals fan who claims Mark Prior is the antichrist: you're just jealous that he'll be playing for the Cubs for another decade or two striking out your Cardinals left and right. To the Sox fans who decided to throw your two cents in: it's nice to see that all three of you showed up, equaling your average attendance this season. To all of the other incoherent idiots who made posts: learn how to write and spell, and STOP HITTING THE SUBMIT BUTTON MORE THAN ONCE! To the real Cubs fans: we had a great season that was unfortunately cut short. Next year, we'll go all the way! Go Cubs!
You left out one very important step. 11. Embrace the Yankees.
if you guys are truly serious about a sports team being like a drug addiction, then please open mouth insert barrel and pull the trigger....IDIOTS
sad.... so sad...... =(
Hi. My name is Woodstock Warren and I am powerless over the Cubs. They are also powerless, and therein lies the problem I am only now bringing myself to admit openly. I am willingly taking this First Step. I swallowed my first dose of Cubs a long, long time ago. I was an impressionable youngster of barely 11 when Miss Machek let our sixth-grade class listen to the first game of the 1945 World Series on the radio. The Cubs won 9-0. I was hooked. The Cubs would sweep this Series and would go on, year after year, to World Championship after World Championship. Could it be otherwise? The Cubs led two games to one moving to Wrigley Field for the final three [end-of-war travel restrictions]. Even when the Cubs blew that Series, I did not see it as a portent. Now that I look back on it, that was the first time I said: "Wait till next year!" Yes, I was hooked. Third the next year. Sixth the year after that. Then ... the cellar ... for the first time. The Cubs had hit the low that perpetually would be their "new tradition." I had hit a low also, but I would not admit it. There always was that tonic, that elixir, that "Wait till next year!" -- for the true "high" I refused to believe that I never would achieve. There were brief periods in which I experienced sanity in reality, but then I would relapse. I was drunk on the Cubs again, totally gone, in 1984. They couldn't lose to the Padres -- not going out to San Diego with a 2-0 lead -- could they? Once more, neither job nor family mattered. It was all Cubs. Posters on the walls. Brand-new Sony Watch Man so I could follow them, wherever I went, to their revenge against Detroit -- the team that had beaten the Cubs to bring me down 39 years earlier. I scorned all overtures of help, even from an understanding sort named Steve Garvey who tried to reason with me by hitting a home run that should not have shocked me, given all those previous years of frustration, but did. And I found myself again muttering in delirium: "Wait till next yer!" I followed along my wayward path into 1989, and again my addiction brought hope. But the playoffs once more meant despair. This should have been a Giants step toward recovery, but I paid no heed. I was a Cubs fan! Forever! Through thin and thin. Wait till next year ... Wait ..... Then came 1997. A 14-0 start. It was the earliest "next year" had ended. Ever. It was the earliest I had ever realized that I was powerless over this "force" that so many times had picked me up, into a paradise overlooking a field of green, a sea of live and loud grandstands, ivy replete and waving in the fresh breezes of springtime hope -- only to dash me down again, where I could see as I lay in the third-baseline gutter that the field was browning, the sea was stagnant and the ivy was withering in winds that now sounded suspiciously like mocking laughter. Yes, I was, am and always will be a Cub-alcoholic! Now I have found Cubs Anonymous. There are people with the same affliction! People with whom I can share my despair and grief and letdowns and pains! I hope that with the help of you and my higher power [no, not the White Sox -- they have their own problems], I can progress steadily toward recovery. Thank you.
Hi, My name is Doug, and I am a Cubs fan. I don't remember my first game, but I do remember Jack Brickhouse turning over the announcing duties to Harry Carry, God rest his soul. I grew up in Northeast Iowa, and it was there that I listened to the Cubs lose game after game. My only alternative was to listen to the Twins lose game after game. Thank God I chose the Cubs. My first live Cubs game was a trip to St. Louis where I watched a twinbill on the Fourth Of July weekend. I don't remember much of the game except that Dave Kingman hit what I believe was his ONLY in the park home run in his career. I was nine years old. I will miss Harry. His last years were not his best, but even when he was in his prime, he was not afraid to scream at a overpaid ballplayer for missing a grounder or for popping up in a key situation. What Cub player wasn't overpaid or didn't scew up? I was kind of looking forward to a few Steve Stone saves when he looked out and saw Jeff Blauser at short and wondered what the Hell was going on...Does this mean Arnie won't have anyone to whisper dirty things to since Steve is a switch hitter? I am stuck in Kansas now, and TCI has determined that the Cubs are not reason enough to give me WGN. BUMMER Please keep me up to date wtih the happenings of my Cubbies. I too, have the old 45 of "CUBBIE BLUE," I don't have a turntable, but I won't let it go...unless I get the right offer... GBHC doug
Cubs choked as usual...Aren't you lowly cub fans tired of saying "Next Year"??? Time for you cub fans to start rooting for a real team. WHITE SOX!!!
In response to the earlier comment from St. Louis. Don't think that all of St. Louis was pulling for the Cubs. Mark Prior is the Anti-Christ, and I'm glad that the Cubs choked! Next year the Cards will return to the playoffs and the Cubs will be at home watching the games on TV.
i am tired of being called the lovable losers... i would much rather settle for lovable. Guys next year, can we just be loveable and leave the losing part to the rest of the National League?
Cubs made it far which was good. I will miss hanging out in Wrigleyville. It's only a game so let's get over it. It was a good ride and the Cubs played well.
Another day in Mudville...
WE KICKED YOUR BALLS IN GOOD YOUR FRIEND THE MARLINS..
Ha Ha The cubs choked AGAIN!!! Come on cubs fans lets here all the excuses. It okay step away from your roof tops don't jump! Losers! AGAIN!!!!! HA HA HA.
Somebody better tell Norma to stay out of the Cubs dugout prior to the start of games "uncorking" players bats!!!!
i thought this would be the year, maybe next year
Speaking from St. Louis, we were really pulling for you guys. Sorry things didn't turn out like it should have
I hate the Cubs. I love the Cubs. I hate the Cubs. I love the Cubs. Yeah, I still love 'em, but they don't make it easy. We always have next year. Thanks for the great season, guys!
All I can say is 'wait til next year!' Eddie...have another grandchild...it seems to bring the Cubs good luck! -C, A, and B
This is my fifth year as a fan. My mother's thirty fourth. My grandmother's sixty fifth. We were all praying so hard. But we're Cubs fans. So we will wait til next year. Cubs fans to the end. M+J+B
MARLINS WON!!
To the cub fan that messed up the out in the 8th. Maybe Chicago holds a grudge but God forgives you. But next time ..........keep your frigin hands away from the B A L L.........augh!
I can't really say if it was the curse or not. It was just that a lot of shit hit the fan in the same inning. All I know is... We Got Wood!!! Go kick some Marlin ass, Cubs!
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Did the goat return or was it the traitor fan?
Did the goat return or was it the traitor fan?
Seems like the GOAT has returned...HAHAHAHAHAHA
Just 3 more to go. I feel better already- and I haven't even read your 12-step program!
Cubs Win 4 away....get lost you Cub Anonymous members
We need Bill Nicholson in the lineup to win!
Ed Cohen, you need to leave. I saw you interviewed on TV, otherwise I wouldn't have found this site. You put together this amateurish website with poor navigation (not even a "Home Page" button) back in 1997, and haven't updated it since, even when you publicized it on TV. But on TV, you said that you're going to root, root, root for the Cubbies again, now that they're winning again. Get lost! The great part about being a Cubs fan is the fact that you still support your team when they're battling Milwaukee for the cellar. That makes it so much sweeter when they eventually do win. If you're going to desert your team and then magically show up again when they're winners, go to St. Louis and be a Cardinal fan, that's more your style. Or maybe Los Angeles. Better yet, be like the Braves fans and wait until the NLCS to buy a ticket (if they make it that far)... Good riddance, you don't deserve to call yourself a Cubs Fan...
Okay. CUBS ROCK! Why do all sox fans hate cubs fans, yet the cubs fans dont hate the sox?
Cubs Win, Cubs Win... Cubs will will be in the Series
You know what I love? The Sox fans that say The Cubs suck. Hahaha, I'm sorry I seem to have forgotten who blew the lead in the leauge with only days left. . . no wait, I didn't forget. It was the Chicago White Sox. Cubs are division champs. Eat my shorts White Sox.
Braves in 4
CUBS WIN THE DIVISION!! CUBS WIN THE DIVISION!! CUBS WIN THE DIVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to San Diego in '84 to see the Cubs win one of three,to no avail.It was horrendous at Jack Murphy Staduim. I was thinking today that it was 19 years ago and now I am so nervous about these last 6 games I can hardly stand it. Going to the game on Friday....maybe they will have the goat there....Let's go Giants!!
you guys are a bunch of jackass'
Cubs SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCKS SUCK
To the Sox fan talking to the Cubs fan...If you faced Prior, Wood, and Zambrano in those games it would have been different and you know it. Now that Dusty understands the rivalry like Manuel does, we will kick your ass next year. I would take the Cubs over the Sox in a 7 game series that meant something any day. Oh, by the way, your boy Loaiza looked great tonight! And with our little gift of Garland going on Thursday, you better pray "fish lips" Colon gets it done tomorrow or you can stick a fork in 'em. 3.5 out sounds great to me with less than 10 to play.
Brett's penis looks like a bent foul pole!
Eran's penis is in the shape of Sammy Sosa's cork!
addicted to the cubs?? thats is like being and alcoholic who only drinks non-alcohol beer.
I would love to have Norma squating over me while Ronnie Woo Woo yells C-Cup! Go Cubs
To the Cubs fan who big words like "homo", who's weak ass team from a weak ass division, beat the crap out of your team. By the way, isn't "boys town" right around the corner from Wrigley field??????
ARE YOU JOKING!? your calling the sox fans alcoholics? Oh my god the cubs fans cant even tell you how many people play on a team at one time there so drunk. And the attack at comiskey, yeah it was a cubs fan who was getting liquored up earlier that day anyway at wrigley. Sox fans- ghetto maybe, but not alocholics.
I LOVE THE CUBS and I LOVE RON SANTO.... GO CUBBIES
All you HOMO Sox fans GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! You are all a bunch of alchoholic losers who consider Streets and Sanitation a career. All 10 of you should be praying that the Twins sweep you this week so that you can be spared from another pathetic post-season exit. Real baseball is located on the corner of Clark and Addison. Our cities minor league team is 9 miles south of there. So take your weak-ass division and your weak-ass team and get a life. And all of you out there that feel this is a sad commentary and that we should all be nice and cordial to each other, you can get a life too.
real baseball 9 miles south
To all you doubters of the CUBS - take a look at them now.... not so far out of 1st place this year., are they? The true CUB fans always believe, this is finally the year we can stop dreaming and start living!!!!
Cubs in first... haha
oh no my dear friend, Wrigley Feild is not just a "beer garden". . . I believe we can hand over that title to Comiskey Park. (of is it US CELLULAR now?) Afterall, it would explain the first base coach beatings that have occured there. And another thing, true baseball fans ARE Cubs fans. Look no further than the crowd in the bleachers heckling the opposing right feilder, wearing rally caps in the bottom of the 9th when we're down by 5 runs. Heck, they're only there for the beer. Right?
Completely Useless By September You know I am better than a CUBS heckler. I am a sympathizer of real CUBS talent. It is a shame that players like PRIOR, CLEMENT, ALOU, PATTERSON, and even recently Alex G, has to suffer such incompetence from team members and coaching staff. The view should be, SPEND MORE MONEY AND GET THE REAL TALENT TO BACK UP YOUR STARS! Send Sammy So-SO back...who cares where he goes. To all the WRIGLEY FANS: If we sold the CUBS to Canada, and the EXPOS moved into WRIGLEY, you'd still be WRIGLEY fans. Because to you it's just a beer garden. You put shame to the TRUE baseball fan. Chicago Teams CUBPLETELY SUX.
The Cubs will have a lock on 4th place by the 4th of July.
still beats being a sox fan any day of the week
Those cheap bastards won't get Lowell. There gonna get that old man Williams who they were too cheap to sign in 1998 when he wasn't a nas been.
Jay Marriotti the ultimate pessimist (or realist, take your pick) said it correctly: "You could face the seats away from the field and Wrigley would still be packed." I love the Cubs but something has got to give. I've been all over the country to different parks in order to see the Cubs. Wrigley Field is the culprit. I love to brag about our beautiful ball park in the party surrounding but that is also the problem. People just don't go to watch the game any more except for us die hard fans. They go to have a good time. Good times are fun...but we want a championship. PS: If Andy McFAIL (not a typo) believes that bringing in Dusty "Jesus Christ of Chicago" Baker is going to fool us Cub fans and make us forget about passing up on Thome, you are sadly mistaken. We can only hope that Alou has a year like he used to in Houston and the rookies play well. Lets go Cubbies....SCREW THE TRIB.
This year I said I had it. Now Dust Baker comes along. Ok so they have sparked some interest in me again. When are they going to win? When will they at least play well again? I am getting Old! Am I going to have to live the "Dying Cub Fans Last Request"?
It is unbelieveable that a team that's been so bad for so long can still manage to fill most seats at every home game. Maybe there should be a fan no-show day just to let the team owners see what it should be like when you offer a looser every year and expect people to actually pay to see it. Just pick a game or two and just don't show up. Empty house.
___There seems to be an echo in here. ___(Who let the damned Cardinal fan in on October 24th?)
Being a Cubs Fan is like rooting for the team that plays the Harlem Globe Trotters, but HEY! maybe one day we will win. Robbie the rat
Go cubies, this is our year! MK
Cubs fan till death...BJ-Birmingham
anyone who joins this bullshit was never a true cubs fan in the first place. If you join this you are nothing but a bandwagon fan, and the cubs do not need your support anyways. I have been a cubs fan my whole life and no matter how much they lose I will continue to be a fan. Cubs in 2003 baby. Chris- Rockford
Sigh. I am 28 years old. I have always been a Cubs fan even though I now live in California. The fact of the matter is this. For whatever reason(s) the Cubs became baseballs loveable losers, and always manage to field a team with at least one superstar player. Whether it be Sosa, Sandberg, Grace, Dawson, Sutcliffe, or Wood. Because of the ridiculous numbers Sosas put up their take at the gate has been great. As long as people continue to support the Cubs because they are so loveable, they will continue to lose. Mr. McPhail knows that he doesnt NEED to put a competitive team out on the field because Wrigley frequently is selling out ANYWAY. So as a true Cubs fan if I can admit this, then you should be able to as well. Sincerely, Mr. Simon G.
i cannot believe someone would give up on the Cubs. obviously you arent cubs fans in the first place if you think of giving up on them. this is insane i tell you insane. you will give up now but when they are in the series next year youll all come climbing back.
the cubs suck
is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Im a die-hard red sox fan who, every year, finds himself watching preseason bengals-lions over that brand of september baseball that only the red sox can provide. broken hearts? you pitiful cubs fans have never experienced them. and until you do, year after year after year, you'll know what it's like.
This is a blasphemous idea! I hope all who join are successful so that I don't have to look at your candy-a***s anywhere near my beloved Wrigleyville. Although I'm sure you'll all be back when the weather is fair. Joel Clark - Carlinville Illinois
There's a certain empathy that is inherent in rooting for the cubs. I mean, come on... they're not called the Bears or the Grizzlies or something intimidating. They're the cubbies for god's sake! It's like puppies or kittens. Realistically, you don't go to a cub's game to watch professional baseball. You go to a cub's game to watch a pro baseball team take batting practice against the cubs.
u suck
It's true. Cubaholism exists. And you don't have to be 21 to be legally treated for it. Amen to the comments abotu LOYAL fans. I'm telling you, one of these days, the cubs are going to be there in October...and that meaningless joke about not being able to buy a hot Dog at Wrigley in October will be nothing but a farce. Then you'll cry, Sox fans. Until then, we will keep cheering on the Cubs and continue to feel such close brotherhood with Pat & Ron. Go WGN Radio!

Cubs fans, join me and together we can rule this city! If you only knew the POWER of the South Side! Holy Cow Cownobi!
The cunts, I mean the cubs aint shit and the trib. should tear down wrigley once and for all. Get rid of that old eye sore and that would solve a lot of parking problems don't you think? And before I go , I just want to say that cubs stands for... C.an't U. B.e a S.ox fan? Later homos. P.S. Speaking of homo's isn't it ironic that wrigleyville is only a few blocks away from Fagville?? Makes you wonder.
This is how the Cubs 2002 season will be: ---75 wins (or less) ---5th place in the NL Central ---Pitching in shambles, with Kerry Wood on and off DL, Juan Cruz hammered, Jon Lieber winning only 12 games in a wildly inconsistent season, and the bullpen shelled. ---Moises Alou will be on and off DL, Fred McGriff will show his age, and Sosa will have an off year with only 45 HRs. ---Corey Patterson will be sent back to Iowa in June, then later included in a trade for badly needed pitching. (But he won't be the next Lou Brock) --Don Baylor will be fired in September for his midhandling of Cubs young talent and his strange ideas on baseball offense
I'm doing an assignment on why fans stick to losing teams. I have nothing against the Cubs but I was just wondering if I could get more feedback. Thanks.

This is too much!!!Great site...I have passed it on to many who need the help...
Woo! Great Site! Lots of effort went into this. At least its tasteful.
What the hell kind of web site is this! Sounds like you are the loser, and not the cubbies!!! so what if the cubs dont have a winning season every year. I love watching the cubs I love the cubs and yes I can cope with that. Ive been a die hard cubs fan for 17 years now (since I was 5 years old) and I dont care if they even choke this year Ill still be a fan and always be a fan!

I feel the pain beginning again. It is the end of August and the Cubs are on their way back to the cellar. How can we over come this horor. I am having nightmares about the cubs choking again. Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can anyone give me Augie Ojeda's phone number? AUGIE FOR POPE!
i like the cubs
Chicago broadcaster Mark Giangreco said it best -- "You look at the Cubs' lineup and you think to yourself, 'hey, this is just a bunch of GUYS'! They're not ballplayers." If you need to have AUGIE OJEDA and GARY MATTHEWS JR on your ML roster, because you've got nobody else, you've got problems. The pitching staff can't win every game 2-1, so don't get your hopes up, Cub fans.
I believe the sox is a better team than the cubs are when the get healthy they are going to sweep right through the major league just like last year the cubs are playing on emotion they will come down and be last in the their divion again
HI, My name is Mary and I am a Cubaholic. My dad was a Cubs fan and I fought being sucked into that hell successfully until the 1984 season, when they broke my heart. I usually am successful in fighting off the horror of hope, but this year (2001) am beginning to check the scores and standings daily, which is the first sign of falling off the wagon (I live in Seattle now and can't watch the games). Yesterday and today I have started checking on line.
I also bear the guilt of infecting my son with this disease, but luckily since we live in Seattle, he has the Mariners to give him some balance and to experience a winning team!!!
I HAVE BEEN A CUB FAN SINCE BIRTH...I LOVE MY CUBBIES....I'M THE FIRST ONE TO PUT THEM DOWN....I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN...NOT YOU SCREWED UP SOX FANS!!!!! I KNOW THEY HAVEN' WON A WORLD SERIES SINCE 1908...BUT BELIEVE ME WHEN THE CUBS DO GET INTO THE WORLD SERIES....CLOSET CUB FANS WILL COME OUT AND TELL THE WORLD HOW THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SO LOYAL....BULLSHIT!...THE LOYAL FANS ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE WATCHED GAME AFTER GAME...AND SCREAMED AT OUR TV'S.....GOO CUBBIES!
DOES ANYONE in the Cubs organization know how to scout, develop and coach talent? In the half century-plus since the last Cub pennant, this mis-organization has home-grown ONLY FIVE quality players (Williams, Santo, Sutter, Kessinger, Maddux). [Kerry Wood? A lot of K's, few W's]
Even though I am only 19, I have been a die-hard Cubs fan since 1988. I first realized that I was going to have many long summers due to the Cubbies. I was just devestated when the San Fransisco Giants beat the Cubs in the 1989 playoffs. My first hero was Vance Law and his autographed ball still sits next to my bed. GO CUBS!
we're going to the series this year. and its incredibly rewarding to be able to say that i have been a cub fan all my life, and have never given up on them throughout all the frustration and pain. now they are in first place, and as a college ball player, i can tell you that the only way to win is to live and die as a team. this is not a fluke, because the cubs have a fire and a desire to leave everything out on the field, and i don't see that fire leaving for a long time.
I have been a dedicated Cubs fan since the days of Ernie Banks, Ron Santo,etc, and if your a Cubs fan from way back when, I don't have to name the rest. I will never stop rooting for the Cubs, I am a die hard fan. My only dream before I die is to see the Cubs win the World Series. I hope it's soon because I can't live forever. GO CUBBIES!!!
Fuck you all, You are all Gay. If you want to talk bad about the cubs dont call yourself a cub fan.
There is nothing wrong with this team that more hitting, fielding and pitching couldn't help.

GO CUBS! METS SUCK!
the cubs would be good if they had a dood 1st baseman, a sosa for a 1 to 3 year average player
1906 world champions is nothing to be ashamed about.
This site is the best!! It still keeps the lame predictions of these lemmings from '99!!!!!! 37,000 per game, because none of them have a clue about baseball, and they're either there to get drunk or get laid. The world's biggest beer garden/singles bar. Who loves ya, baby? The Trib, that's who!! And, I almost forgot, Mark Grace is one hot father of a child out of wedlock! I guess going to Murphys after every loss got him the sympathy he was in dire need of!
Let's go Mets!!!!!!!!
Convert to the South Side
Cubs rock. Quitters suck. Crawl in a hole and make yourself useful.
Your wrong something has to be done and when the time is right, the snake will bite!
nachomanjr@pocketmail.com
YOU SUCK
I say the cubs are like the oympics, they decide to compete for 2 weeks every four years.
Look whoever came up with this crappy and stupid website, should be kept off the net. You say you are a Cubbies fan, but then you insult them. That is great Cub spirit. What about the guy, who wished he was born a Yankees fan. You need to take this site off the web and shut up. You have no right to talk about the Cubbies that. So SHUT UP.Get this site off. By the way, GO CUBBIES!!!!!!
Wow!! Other helpless fanatics like myself!!! Ok, I admit that every game I watch, I bant out useless words like "FUNDAMENTALS" and "MAKE THE LINE DRIVE GO THROUGH"...only,they cant hear me.. so it's all in vain..and every game I say I'm going to stop watching, but I can't. *sigh* SOMEONE SAVE ME!!!!
Dear Fellow Cubs Fans (and 1 Sox jerk),
Look, we're Cubs fans because, somehow, it's part of our genetic code, passed down from father to son for generations.
Win or lose--or win and lose, lose, lose--we still have to root for our Cubbies.
I could no sooner give up on the Cubs than I could give up breathing.
Nevertheless, thank the Good Lord for Cubs Anonymous in seasons like this. The 12 steps teach me to look at things with humour.
It's not my fault I'm a fan of the Cubs; I just didn't have the good fortune to be born a Yankees fan.
So to all y'all out there, if you want a winner, become a Yankees fan.
Until then, go Cubbies!!!
I just want to win one world championship. Just one and I'd be happy.
Hey bonehead sox fan-we pack 37,000 a game because we do stick by our team through thick and thin.Your just blowing off steam because your sorry white sox can't get over 14,000 unless the cubs are there.Even though they are in first place-lol.the south side is a disgusting dump-I have yet to meet a sox fan that strikes me as smart and your just another that fits the bill........:-(
The Cubs must trade Sosa before it is to late. Once July 31 is past Sosa is on a no trade clause in his contract. Sosa will pleed for a huge 200 million dollar contract which will strangle the cubs for another five years. What they could do in the mean time is trade him and recieve strength up the middle which is the element needed to win a championship.
WHY IN THE WORLD IS THERE A CUBS ANONYMOUS CLUB? I THOUGHT YOU CUBS FANS WERE THE GREATEST FANS IN THE WORLD. IF THAT WAS THE CASE YOU WOULD STICK BY YOUR TEAM THROUGH THIN AND THIN. WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE REALIZE THAT AS LONG AS THERE ARE 37,000 PATHETIC PEOPLE A GAME, THE CUBS WILL NEVER BOTHER TO GO OUT AND PUT A GOOD TEAM ON THE FIELD AND IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, IN MONDAYS TRIBUNE SPORTS SECTION, THEY WERE ADVERTISING THE BALL PARK AND NOT THE TEAM. THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THE CONFIDENCE THE MANAGEMENT HAS IN THEIR TEAM.
GO SOX!!!!
See, what you Cub fans dont realize is that there isnt much you can do. You arent expected to win or supposed to win but the hope is there, the hope that someday, somehow there will be a silver lining. Its alot like your sex life. You get so close and what happens, the ball rolls between your legs or the opponent is the one that hits the home run and you are left pondering on that cold winters night over and over again. Figure this, if the cubs do win what is there to look forward to. Just remember that Kerry Wood is not the messiah nor is Corey Patterson. Chances are the Cubs would probably do better by signing Dave Kingman and Jody Davis. Oh where have you gone Ivan DeJesus, your fans are weeping in their dogs and beer, thats real queer. Whats that you say, Mr. Herman Franks, Dejesus as left and gone away, hey hey hey. . . hey, hey hey... Mr. Sizemore
although scottish my love of the cubs began in 1978 when my dad was serving at ramstein air base in germany . since that fateful day i watched my first game i have been hooked .fate decreed that the team who won that day were the team who i now follow with blind faith and hope in my heart for a championship win . have mercy on me lord
Hi. I'm a 23 year old Cubs fan from Indiana. I've been watching and rooting for the Cubs for as long as I can remember. At 18 years worth of dissapointment for me. I've been a standby fan while others have given up. I think I'm in serious need of help ;)
Hi, I am a pez collector from Canada. Is anyone going to the Cubs game on June 14. They are giving away pez dispensers to the first 15,000 spectators and I would love to have one. Please email me if you think you can get one for me: annlong@home.com Thanks, Ann
Dear Ed: You must love punishment; 50 years a cub fan. Good luck. Shelly Brody
