I'm not sure if its been posted in any of these threads, since we want to keep the positive energy. I wont quote or hyperlink, but the posts on WSI - Cubs subforum (For some reason this exists) have been so butthurt and boderline suicidal lately. I don't know if they've actually gone out of their way to do this or they are just trying to sound cool, but several of them are talking about how they bought Indians gear on Sunday in preparation for the World Series. Not only does that sound stupid in general to buy another team's stuff just because they are playing a rival of theirs, but its the freaking Indians, division rival, and I'm not sure how bad the rivalry has been lately, but as recently as the early-00's were hated rivals. So I think about the other side of things, a very similar situation happened in 05 and I never once bought, thought about buying, or even had a passing through about the prospect of buying Astros gear. They too were in-division rivals, although the Astros never had a particularly strong rivalry with the Cubs other than a couple of individual seasons like 98, 03 and 04. I just don't get that mentality. If cards play the sox I'm easily pulling for the sox.
