Embracing the Apathy
July 12, 2006it looks like Dusty Baker will not be fired. Apparently, winning 3 of 4 games before the break shows Dusty has got the magic back and this team is ready to compete for a championship.
I’m so disgusted and humiliated to be a Cubs fan today.
I hope this team loses every game from here on out. I am now pulling for the worst record in baseball.
This season has actually made me consider dropping my life long Cubs fanaticism. Maybe I will become a fan for another team. Or maybe just drop baseball entirely.
98 years since a championship
61 years since a world series appearance
The Marlins have won 2 since 1997
The D-backs have won 1
The Red Sox broke their curse
The White Sox broke their curse
The collapse of 2003
The collapse of 2004
The failure of 2005
The utter disaster of 2006
I’m running out of reasons to care for a team (and more importantly, an organization) who obviously does not care about me, or the other fans.
Sure, they spend money, but they make a lot more. The Yankees are required to win by their fan base, same with the Mets and Red Sox.
Cub fans may complain, but they are the lovable LOSERS. And if you feverishly, blindly, financially and moronically support LOSING, you get LOSING.
I hope the Cubs get overtaken in attendance and support by the White Sox. I hope Chicago becomes a Sox town. I hope Neifi starts every game. I hope Prior and Wood move onto other teams and win Cy Youngs. I hope Dusty is the captain of the ship as it runs aground and sinks.
Fuck the Cubs. And Fuck me for being a fan of them.
You waited until now to be embarassed and humiliated?
Call me when your team blows it four consecutive LDSes, 2 of which with a 2-0 lead IN A 5 GAME SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!>!>!!!>
Call me in another 82 years
There was actually several more lines to that comment, but I must’ve snorted them off Beyonce’s ass. Rest assured, they were more good reasons for being a bitter fan.
Like employing ballplayers who clog the bases with walks? Speed never slumps, dude.
