Jay seems to be harboring some real hatred toward the Marlins, he's real bitter. ah well :lol :lol

lol talk about a real jerk. He even brought up the fan as the reason why the cubs lost. The Marlins may be baseball's darlings, but they are the Chicago press' worst nightmare lol. I can't wait for PTI to see what wilbon thinks. Though he seems to have a little more class than this shmuck! I really do love it when Cub fans wine though. The HUGEST BABIES IN SPORTS! :whistle

i like Wilbon, he's a Cub fan but he's not blinded like Jay

Wilbon is great on PTI....

 

Never Made a Prediction on who would win the NLCS... Just kept quiet and said he was rooting for his team...

as a guy that lives in chicago, i can tell every1 one thing. jay is an idiot

I second that as a guy who gets the sun-times at his house everyday. He is a blinded, cub loving idiot, and is INCREDIBLY bitter over the cubs massive, unprecedented collapse.

Mariotti is a bloviating crybaby with the attention span of a fly. Search to see what he said about Sosa after the cork incident, more whining than any other sportswriter.

and BTW, Mariotti is not pro-Cubs. He's pro-Himself.

Umm I didn't keep the papers, if you hit up suntimes.com, you could find them, because that's the paper Jay Mariotti writes for, and you could find most of his articles in the archives there.

Yea, as a Cubs fan from Chicago, even I think Marriotti is an a**.

 

But seriously, I wouldn't call us the biggest babies in the world. 95 years of heart ache. There is no doubt Cubs fans are the best in the world. We filled the place all year, while you guys were not even drawing 20,000.

 

Now it seems at this place there are some pretty big, loyal Marlin fans. But on the whole, you guys didnt show up till you were in the playoffs.

 

And after such a year, of such excitement, it hurts. More than you know.

 

Think what you want about Cubs fans. But you wouldn't be too happy if you had yer hearts ripped out of yer chest. This team has been upset for years, yet we stay loyal. And that's the mark of great fans.

 

Now if you think we're a**holes because of what some people do, yer full of s***. Chicago is not a town filled with evil anymore than south florida. Everyteam, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, has a legion of fans who are complete and total asses. To think that all Marlins fans are gods is complete ignorance.

 

I'm not here to poke fun at you guys, as I think you've seen in my other posts. I just can't help but be upset with what everyone thinks of Cubs fans.

for any media member to blame the fan on the cubs losing is stupid and unprofessional.

 

 

 

Mariotti again proves why he will never truly be taken seriously.

expo, you appear to be a legitimately good cub fan. I know they exist, because my own father is one of them. But with that said, can you honestly tell me the cubs would pack Wrigley everyday if it wasn't in the middle of a wealthy neighborhood with lots of bars? And would you pack Wrigley everyday if not for the fact that's it an old "shrine" with the rooftops and the vines and the bleachers?? Of course not, the Cubs pack Wrigley because of all the factors I mentioned, not because the fans are loyal, even if some of them such as you are. And it's proven if you ask almost anybody that MOST not ALL but MOST cub fans are unknowledgeable and obnoxious, moreso than any other fans in baseball. Look, i'm not posting this to rip the cubs, but everything I just said is fact. And no, you fans are not big babies, if the White Sox lost a series like the Cubs did to the Marlins, i'd probably be crying too.

actually I am not from So. Florida and I have been on this site for about 2-3 years now, and a fan sense '93. I am from Springfield IL where all you see are Cubs' fans, and I have met like two that aren't complete and total babies when it comes to baseball. I mean Im 23 and I've only seen like 3 cub teams that have been worth a darn. How can you say that you have had your heart ripped out time and time again the last time you had it ripped out was in 1984, that was 19 years ago. Its not like the Cubs are competing every year.

 

Yeah this year had to be hard, but it was sooooooo sweat a victory for those that live under the cub media blanket. All year...Messiah Mark Prior this, Kerry Wood that, Slammin Sammy this, and for the love of God Im so happy I don't have to hear a word about Dusty Dust or Dustiny anymore. Ron Santo put the Cubs in the World Series 2 months into the season, and his faithless (if not mindless) listeners followed suit. Then when it comes time to win it they don't, do they blaim the anti-clutchness of Wood or the Messiah? No they blame a POOR fan that bought into the same thing all of you bought into. Do I feel sorry for him because all of chicago hates him? yes, but I feel more sorry for him to live in a place where the fans can't admit that their team choked and blame one of their faithful. I have to say this last thing...This heartbreaker couldn't have happend to a better bunch of a**clowns.

 

There is my rant...sorry for trumping yours.

Wow, ask anyone. That's reeeeeeeal scientific.

 

All you have to do is watch TV, then it's obvious that Yankees and Red Sox fans are 10 times as obnoxious. From "We are the best, we are always the best" to screaming at kids who wear Yankees gear.

 

So Bartman got some beers thrown on him. He would have been gutted in Boston, given cement shoes in New York. And if it was at Comiskey, YOU KNOW he couldn't have reached that ball. Probably would have fell out of the stands.

Bartman was cursed at, given death threats, and punched on his way out of the stadium, the tape doesn't lie. And that was WITH SECURITY ESCORTING HIM. Plus, have you heard about his house being egged, windows broken out, and him having to be on 24 hour police surveillance. Yeah, your fans aren't obnoxious....you didn't lose that game because of Bartman, you lost it because Dusty Baker can't manage a pitching staff and because Alex Gonzalez, a great fielder, choked on an easy double play ball. Oh, and how is screaming "we are the best" obnoxious?!?!?

Also Cubbie fans are the first in your face if your team gets beat by them, and the one that avoids baseball conversations if the cubbies loose.

 

The Chub fans are the only group of fans in baseball that think because your teams out of it you have to root for their teams. I mean I saw countless Cub fans go up to Cardinal fans and say and I quote "Come on the Cardinals aren't in it so you have to root for us. We are the cubs after all."

 

The stinkago flub fans are the only ones that think even if you are rooting for the opposing team you secrectly want the cubs to win because it would be. good for baseball.

 

the biggest jerks in baseball are the only ones that can go to Atlanta do the Tomahawk Chop and say "look at us we are being so cute," then kick out an Atlanta fan for cheering his team on.

 

The losingest organization in history of major sports have the only fans in the world that think going to a game consists of getting drunk at noon, taking your shirt off and reveal your 400 lbs gut to the world, taunting other teams fans, and over all making jackholes outa themselves.

 

Also relying a curse as a scape goat.

 

Look for things to blame a loss on before they even lose.

I think that's all that can be, or needs to be said about cubs fans.

First off, I am not blaming Bartman. I did during that 8th inning, but that's because I'm human, and when I slept on it everything was okay. The fault lies most with Dusty, Gonzalez, and the manchild Cabrera.

 

Magglio, for as much as you hate the Chi-town press, you put an awful lot of stock into their account of the typical Cubs fan as a perpetually drunk yuppie who is in denial. To the best of my experience, the typical Cubs fan either resembles Mike Wilbon (who like many of us REFUSED to predict a Cubs victory when up 3-1, knowing that the self-fulfilling prophecy of defeat was still present), Tony Pierce at tonypierce.com or the fans seen crying at the end of game 7.

 

Yeah, security escorted him. That's what would have happened at every park. What do you think at Comiskey (oh excuse me, U.S. Cellular), the other fans would have said "that's all right, chum. You just made a little mistake." Duh, no. Not to mention that most of us weren't gloating like you were in the 8th - we were hurt and shaken very very badly. Bartman seemed like the Curse manifested, an unlikely (and therefore fateful) representation.

 

As for "we are always the best", you don't mind it when Yankees fans push that in your face? You know, they are in the SAME league as the White Sox.

I think that's all that can be, or needs to be said about cubs fans.

 

thank you magglio...I knew you would know exactly what I was talking about, and I did admit that not all cub fans are babies, I did say that I have met like 2 cub fans that wheren't...hey maybe one was your father...because I know there isn't that many of them out there lol

LoL when a Yankee fan comes up and starts talking everyone disperses because its been proven they are the best. You can come back with a few things but then all they have to say is 26! I do however come back with the Yankees ruined baseball.

 

Well the Cubs and their fans ruined it for me until the expansion came!

I don't mind when yankee fans say they are the best because they are, I mind when stupid cub fans say they are the best when they haven't won in 95 years. Sox fans don't say they are the best, because we aren't. And I don't hate the Chi-town press, I think it's pretty fair for the most part. They cover the big story, and that was the cubs this season. I just hate a few guys like Mariotti who kiss cub butt all the time. And they always defend cub fans, so don't say "I put an awful lot of stock into their account of the typical cub fan" because I don't, and if i did, i would say the cubs have the best fans in baseball. And as I said, this isn't a personal attack on you, you seem to be one of the few good cub fans out there willing to logically defend his team, i'm just saying most cub fans are morons, which if you look closer into the subject, you will find out i'm right. And Wilbon is a sellout, cub fan from the south side?? Please.

Everyone konws what you were talking about, it's just a matter of who will admit it.

This is great, we have Cubs vs. White Sox here on this board!

 

Mariotti = Le Batard

 

And as for our fans not showing up to games, the poster who identified (rightly) the attributes of Wrigley is right on with the difference between Cubs and Marlin attendance. The Marlins are located in a football stadium way out of reach where you have to fight traffic to get there and pay an arm and a leg to park. Oh, and there was a strike in '94 - one year after the Marlins' inception - and a little team gutting, just for kicks, by then-owner H Bomb Huizenga of a World Championship team. The baseball landscape of S Fl was poisoned...but it is healing now...
