you are in a different atmosphere living where you do
if you grew up in Chicago you'd experience the deep, deep animosity amongst the teams
impossible to describe unless you lived in Chicago for a while
I was at a bar last night cheering hopelessly for the Braves -
if we can't win, the only thing worse is the cubs winning
its a Chicago thing
Exactly. You have to live in the area for at least a year to experience all the pure hatred among them. If you're a true baseball fan, theres no such thing as a "Chicago baseball fan".
