Weather is nice in Tampa Bay, these daysEva Longoria has a pretty good life- married to a handsome, wealthy Frenchman, has a show on TV with a handful of other whore-ish characters...and she now has led her Rays to a playoff victory with two homeruns. Sadly, her stunning performance was against the White Sox who I grew up rooting for.
That Didn't Take Long
In the Indy area there are so many "die-hard" Chicago Cubs fans...You can't go to Starbucks or McAllister's without seeing some "life-long" Cubs fan in their oddly new-looking Cubbie hat or t-shirt. It's funny, many of them were telling me this was the year to break the Billy Bartman Curse...or something (I stopped listening)...But their confidence has fallen.
What? It's just an 0-2 deficit...Much like the Red Sox needed to defy probability to win their breakthrough series, the Cubs are now looking eye-to-eye with Mr. Elimination.Best team in baseball, my arse.

You're a Dowd. Not only do you hate baseball, you know nothing about it. Stick to football there buddy.
Here's what I know:
Cubs down 0-2
Go-Cubs-Go!!
Jeff Smardjza rules!
A) you should be saving your money and not going to Starbucks B) You love MacAllister's way too much.
As part of the "indy die-hard Cub contingent", I guess I should stick up for myself. The Cubs are losing because they don't execute with anything on the line. They are atrocious with runners in scoring position and have given up 5 unearned runs in two games. They swing at bad pitches early in the count and ground into too many double plays. But what would I know, I just go to the game for the hot chicks and the old style.
I was in the stands for Greg Maddux's rookie year yelling at Jody Davis to call another 90mph+ heater (yes it's hard to remember those Maddux days). I saw Palmeroid pre-roids. I encouraged Mark Grace to find a "slump buster". I was there for Jerome Walton and Dwight Smith's drug aided ROY campaigns. I've asked Sosa how many homers he was going to hit and when he replied "2", we booed until he said "3".
What does this mean to you? Probably nothing. To you, I'm just another thing you can stereotype. Just know that the longer they go without winning, the more you are going to hear about the loveable losers from the North Side. It's something that won't be stopped until they finally stop it themselves. Wow, I'm grumpy. I could use some drugs to calm me down. Maybe I can get some crack and a reduced price ticket from someone outside of US Cellular. GO US STEEL!
I thought the Cubs and the Brewers would look better than this. Oops.
Since the Cubbie fans are pissed and Boiler Football is depressing, lets bring back SBF. Cleavage always turns frowns upside down.
Mac, you're from Illinois, you're not part of the problem. That said, you being a good fan doesn't make me dislike the Cubs any less.
I hate McAllister's.
I don't drink coffee...I don't need it, I'm naturally caffeinated.
You know the people I'm talking about...they've also been Colts fans for the last five years and love UND because they're Irish and have been shopping on Madison Avenue.
They can all suck it. For every one Mac, there are 20 of these idiots.
why are people from the indy area so jealous of anything chicago? your town sucks even more than the cubs in october.
Damnit I'm jealous of Chicago right now.
