I suppose you learn something new every night, then. Imagine that.

Will you be doing most of your cheerleading here, or is it going to be relegated to NSBB? The "BFIB" like to root for their team in peace.

Lol you need to grow some thicker skin, my [expletive] God. I havent trolled, or nothing of the sort, but you have to be a little whiny [expletive] because a Cub fan is here discussing baseball. Grow up

No, it's that we're sick and tired of watching the Cubs the last two weeks turn everything to [expletive] gold...

Not only that, but we're sick and tired of hearing about how the Cubs are BACK FROM THE DEAD! from all of the national media

And we're sick and tired of all the [expletive] Cubs fans who all but left their team for dead a month ago, saying how awful they were, and now they're the greatest [expletive] thing since sliced bread...

The fair weatherness of that fan base is disgusting

This isn't the fanbase to have fairweather fans. They should've been pissed at how they played the 1st half of the year, I don't think they've said they're the greatest but they have snuck into 1st place b/c of how god awful this division is.

The Cubs have been better, but they're still not that good. Talentwise, everyone is looking up at LA and Philly.

I live predominatly in Cubs country, and you wouldn't believe the amount of people I heard say "[expletive] these guys I'm never watching them again, they're awful" and now they're saying that they're "going to the World SERIES!!!!!!!!!!"

Maybe fairweather isn't the word....uneducated? I don't know, but an awful lot of Cubs fans I know don't know [expletive] about what's going on

Blum with a solo homer, 7-6 Houston.

Geoff Blum homers to put the Astros back on top in the top of the 7th.

Allen Craig has two, Khalil Greene has two, Tyler Greene has two, and Jon Jay makes it seven with one of his own.

7-6 Astros, btw; Blum with a solo shot.

Wow, he hit seven [bleep] homers!?!

Sometimes you remember what you want to remember and chart everything else as static b/c I haven't heard anyone say that the Cubs are going to the WS unless it was tongue-in-cheek, especially after what happened last year. I'm sure there are some that have said that but I don't think it's representative of most Cubs fans. From my dealings all of my life with Cubs fans, they know as much as about the game as any other fanbase. There are some Cubs fans that have forgotten more about the game than fans of another team will ever know and they have some that just go b/c they enjoy the vibe at Wrigley and want to claim they've followed them whenever they do win it all.

Nope. Cubs fans are ignorant because there team don't win.
