we'll always be the insignificant minority, when people think of Chicago they think Cubs, plain and simple. Having lived now near 20yrs outside the state, everytime I tell someone where I'm from, they automatically assume I'm a Cub fan......without exception.
playing the Astros didn't help, going against STL that year would have made viewership double, at least....
I live in the northern suburbs and everyone assumes I am a Cub fan here.
I had an exchange with someone at work last October with a guy who really didn't know me.
Him: Ya think the Cubs can come back? (Down 2-0 to Dodgers in the playoffs)
Me: I hope not.
Him: (shocked) You're not a Cubs fan??
Me: Why would I be?
