I'm at the Metrodome right now checking it out before it closes for baseball and I've gotten several 'cubs suck' comments from twins fans (and a bunch from sox fans - I'm wearing a cubs hat). Why are we so hated amongst teams in the Midwest?what did we ever do to the twins?

 

Inferiority complex. Even though we havent won a WS in eternity, other teams fans are jealous as hell about the tradition and atmosphere that comes with the Cubs.

 

That's kind of it.

 

Sarcasm, or are you agreeing?

 

Kind of agreeing, I agree on the atmosphere part, its cool and sorta the tradition in a way. But that's about it. Really not jealous at all.

Plus, the Cubs spend more money than most teams. Doesn't exactly engender a lot of support/goodwill from rival fans.

I think it has more to do with the fact that despite being mostly bad for a long time, the Cubs have much bigger fanbase and draw much more media attention than any of the other Midwestern teams.

 

I can understand that.

Bottom of the 9th, and Big John Broxton has to run the gauntlet of Pujols, Holliday, and Ludwick. God speed.

 

GO, K, HR is my guess.

 

So much for havin faith

And your one-third of the way right so far.
