No prob, I was surprised to find it doing a search for Joe Crede.

Very good read.

good article

That was an outstanding article. I hope he posted it over at northsidebaseball.com.

Nicely done article...

 

except he refers to the Sox victory as "lifting the curse."

 

For a non-Chicago to say that word in reference to the Sox is dumb.

 

For a Chicagoan to say that about the Sox is ignorant.

I thought this was a pretty interesting perspective about the Sox in 2005 from a Cub's fan.  I assume there are many more like him.

Just put the big L on your forehead right now and go back to watching some Scrubs highlights from 2005, oh wait there weren't any.

I think our troll fella there is a sox fan.

 

He was complaining that you copied the article from his site or something.

The price of success and future success, will be casual fans attending 2 or 3 games when before they never attended. There will be families from Winnetka dropping by for a weekend day game, tourists who decide to add a Sox game to their vacation, corporate types entertaining, all these people, and the Cub converts, need to be welcomed and encouraged. That is how we draw 3 million year after year.

Nice article, however, I am suprised more of you didn't catch the fact that he makes out like he was a big time Cub fan for years who was "converted" this year. If he was such a big Cub fan, why would he have a Carlos Lee jersey from 4 years ago? Call me crazy, but I am a diehard Sox fan and it would be a cold day in hell before I ever purchased ANY type of Cubs merchandise, (outside of Cubs toilet paper) let alone a jersey, EVER. I think all true Sox fans would feel the same way.

sounds like a tool who will never get true satisfaction out of sports and rooting for a team.

He did say he was a fairweather fan, so I assume he bought it after the 2000 season.

 

I agree though, I have never been a Cubs fan and will never be one.
