No Cubs No

I'll be out at the park today. I expect Cubs fans to be getting a little smug about their barely .500 team going for the sweep, so let me get this out of my system now.

One World Series to none over the last century. And we didn't even exist for 30 years of that time. Till that changes, as far as I'm concerned we have bragging rights.

And the only curse your team has is incredibly poor management and player development for decades on end.

And have fun with Soriano when he's an unplayable albatross earning $18 million at age 38.

And Harry Caray was a clown. So is Santo (who also does not belong in the Hall of Fame, not by a long shot).

And Moises Alou wasn't going to catch that ball anyway. And even if he had, it's not Bartman's fault that the team folded like a house of cards after.

And Wrigley Field is a great place to see a game, if you don't mind a stadium full of yuppies talking on their Blackberries and not watching the game.

And at least we know there's nothing lovable about losing.

How is this different than Nats Park? The yuppies do the same thing here and start leaving the game by the 4th inning.

i hate the cubs as much as anyone, but isn't this nationals franchise branched off of the nationals? i didn't think they ever were the senators. so they technically don't have any championships.

in fact, isn't it kind of sad that there is no mention of the expos in that ballpark. i could be wrong, but i recall the senators moving twice. you can't really say this franchise is tied to the senators other than sharing the same city.

i say just finalize it and change the damn name to the senators, already use the history and logos. make it official lerners.

Congrats on your 1924 championship Washington. I highly doubt the author of this entry was born in 1924, thus you have never experienced a World Series victory in your lifetime. Since you will take credit for the 1924 championship, as a Cub fan I will take credit for the 1907 and 1908 titles and say we have you beat 2 World Series titles to 1.

Sadly, you will probably tie us at 2 before we ever get our third though.
