The Grinder

My cub fans friends dont even banter w me anymore, like one told me its like teasing a handicapped person. You just dont do it.....I just get tired of being a punching bag for other teams.

I cant recall who said this, maybe Dennis Miller before last election was "the best thing Hillary has going for her is Trump.....but the best thing Trump has going for him is Hillary Clinton"

The Sox are 26th in attendance, and although the rebuild still in formulative time frame, still makes me wonder what will happen if this rebuild doesnt work? Say in 2022 we are still struggling and with the cubs resurgence taking generations of fans, would MLB even consider allowing our boys to move to a better market (if one exists)? The cubs have almost unlimited funds, a huge fan base to go with a trendy ball park, thier chances of missing the playoffs are about as good as us making them in coming yrs really has me a bit concerned with the Sox in Chicago as much as the naysayers say no way they would move. With Comiskey coming up on the big 30 in a few, I guess you cant say its too young a park to vacate.

I thought I heard during broadcast all this was good natured ribbing on both sides, nothing more. Who knows

I'm old school, give me an older gym like USA Gym, no air conditioning, some free weights and delve into the no pain no gain zone and I'm happy!

OK my first post on this fine site, I migrated over from WSI after some BS, so that being said, heres how I spun this thing: I work with a lot of women who were ecstatic the day after. I was asked in front of probably 8 other women what I thought of the game (which I did watch but very little) so I replied "the World series? Didn't see it, did I see somewhere the cubs won right?"....they were in dismay, I told them the forensic files were good that night .....so a few asked me if I watched any games and I replied maybe an inning on Sat PM The bottom line is that the opposite of love isn't hate, its being indifferent. I told them I didn't care if the cubs won, lost or moved to Japan. Then one woman said, he's a Sox fan, which I said I was had no rooting interest in a cub game. Then someone said who cares about the sox, yada yada which I can understand given our current circumstances. There are times not caring is much worse than hating. in all the relationships I've had, whenever an ex would say something hateful, I knew she was an eyelash away from coming back. But when she would say "I really don't care what you do or who you date" then I knew it was over. The perversion of human nature
