    There's no comparing the futility of the Cubs to that of any other franchise. You were alive for the last Reds WS victory -- there can't be more than 1 or 2 people in Chicago that can make the same claim

    I think this thread needs a permanent sticky.

    You are correct but as you note:
    championships matter- 22 years and counting and 1 in 37 years is not a great track record.

    True.

    But it's still not as bad as being a Cub Fan

    And yet, the Reds have won 5 WS since the Cubs last won, ranking behind only the Yanks, Cards, A's, Red Sox, and Dodgers - and tied with the Pirates.

    Plus, the Reds have played in 6 WS since the Cubs last appeared in one. And this thread is about mocking that sorry franchise.

    One of my favorite quotes; I think it was my sig line for a while:

    It’s hard to put your finger on it. You have to have a dullness of mind and spirit to play here. I went through pyschoanalysis and that helped me deal with my Cubness.

    True. However if championships were evenly distributed among all MLB teams each team would only win a World Series every 30 years. It ain't easy.
    Failing to win even one championship in more than a century is a horrible track record.

    Especially when for the longest time baseball carried less than 20 teams.

    This thread reminds me of a quote I once saw:

    At a press conference Wednesday, the Chicago Cubs and their absence from the World Series announced an agreement to a four-year contract extension, with an option for another.

    Re: We are not mocking the Cubs enough

    Pitchers and catchers reported today....


    .... and the Cubs were mathematically eliminated from play-off contention.
    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
