re: Does anyone else not want the Cubs to win the World Series

The Cubs fan base, outside of the Red Sox, is the worst in baseball, and probably the worst in all of sports. So yeah, there's no way that team ever deserves to win the World Series, and their 107 year streak is completely justified for that terrible fan base.

While I appreciate the passion of some of the guys in the Cubs threads here and the people from Chicago who have been through all of the losses, Cubs fans/hype annoy me for several reasons.

- Media hype gets way over the top when they get a sniff of being good. 2003 was insufferable and it will be 10x worse these days.

- I understand the WGN thing and all of that, but people who aren't from Chicago acting like they live and die with every pitch are like the guys on the soccer board who get way too melodramatic about some team from England that they have no connection with and adopted for whatever random reason.

- I guess being a Cubs fan is better than jumping on the bandwagon of a successful team, but even rooting for the loveable losers has kind of become some hip try hard thing. We get that you love your team. Stop telling us all about it.

- Wrigley and a lot of the Cubs support is about the party, not baseball, for the Lincoln Park jr vice presidents and frat stars getting drunk on Dog Style in the bleachers or rooftops.

- ETA, Maddon fits in perfectly with his cool old, hipster schtick.
