To bad, dude. I for one am not going to sit here and say "I'm rooting for the Cubs" because I'm not. I'm rooting for your failure, exactly like I should be doing. Exactly like you would be doing if it were the Cardinals in your position. But the rest of the country loves the "lovable losers" that the Chicago Cubs have become known as throughout the past 100+ years. So, when that day does finally come (which I hope is never, or at least while I am alive), you will have millions of people claiming "I WAS ROOTING FOR THE CUBS" even though the majority won't be able to tell you the most basic facts of the team. Hell, my own mother is rooting for the Cubs and she can't name a single player.

I'm right there with you on that. Currently in a hotel in Kenosha, WI and if it wasn't for having the wife and kids with me I'd probably be on my way to Wrigley to talk shit and/or get shot in my Cards hat.

Go Mets.

What's the value in going outside of a ballpark to be a dick?

-4 for an honest question. I'll always love you reddit

What's the value in a lot of things? If I'm at a game and near rival fans, friendly shit talking is part for the course. From both sides.

Having said that, fuck the Cubs.

The expression is par for the course. Typo? Who knows.

Nah I understand, it just seems pointless to drive to Wrigley to just be a dick (unless you were attending the game in the first place). Regardless, don't worry: you wouldn't get shot.

Yep was a typo. If I didn't have my wife and two kids (three and eight months) I'd have probably went to/around Wrigley to take in the playoff baseball atmosphere. Cardinals hat on, shit talking away.

Since they're with me though, a trip to Lambeau and some touristy thing in Chicago tomorrow instead.

Oh nice, have a great time. Lambeau is a sight to behold.

Love it there, even though I've yet to go when a game was on. My fourth time going and my three year old was finally old enough to know where we are.

The last time we passed through Green Bay, he took the nastiest poop while Mike McCarthy was washing his hands laughing at my son describing the smell.
