April 24, 200422 yr So, I thought we should spend a thread talking about our unfortunate encounters with the fans of Chicago's minor league ball club...This idea came off of an encounter I had today at work... I work part-time at a store near the tollway, and part of my department is the craft aisle. So, I'm helping our vendor set things up in the aisle, and a customer asks me if I could help him find some grey buttons. When I asked him what they were for, he replied, "They are for this Cubs jersey I am fixing up, because they are going all the way this year." I chuckled a bit, and he asked me why I was chuckling. To that, I answered that my team would have a better fate than the Cubs. He asked who my team was, and I told him "My beloved Chicago White Sox." He responded, "Chicago has another team?" I immediately responded, "Yea, and they've finished with a better record in 42 of the past 57 seasons." He was so dumbfounded...Didn't even say another thing...LOL!!!
April 24, 200422 yr if a cubs fan brings up the attendance issue. Me: So how many cubs games have you gone to this year? I've gone to # of sox games Every time, i've gone to more games than them, that shuts them up.

Scrubs have not had winning season's back to back since 71-72
April 24, 200422 yr I have found that it can be hard to insult a Cub fan, no matter how hard you try. In 1985 I went to the Sox Cubs game at Wrigley (my last visit there, and I do mean last), so I bought a Padres hat. Not one person noticed it. I had to explain it to a few people. You can always tell a Cub fan, but you can't tell him much.
