working with Cub fans

Man they sure are smug for not having won a World Series in 100 years. STFU I know it is almost September and you are in first place. Pride comes before the fall....

What sucks is I bet they win it this year. I just have had this overwhelming feeling since the end of last season. You think they are annoying now! That is really going to suck.

I was one of the guys manning the grill for our church picnic on Sunday. I had a Cards cap & shirt on I (our church's name is St. Louis, so it fits in well). A guy came up and introduced himself as a Cubs fan. When I asked him if he was ready for another October meltdown, that it would be hard to top Bartman, but I had faith the Cubbies could pull it off, he was offended. Said he always rooted for the Cardinals when the Cubs were out of it.

I looked at him funny and asked him to get me another Bud.

Of all the years I had to move to Chicago, it had to be THIS one. It better not happen or I'm going to be hearing it from a lot of people in a couple months.

I just ask 'em what month it is and remind them of things like September 1969, Leon Durham and the events that followed the Bartman Incident...

Eh, I always thought if they didn't win one for a 100 years, you could always pull that out (not winning last year guaranteed celebrating the 100 year mark.

At that point, they have to win one championship to just get back to "even"
