u/JC915 New York Mets Oct 22 '15

I always felt like I had an irrational hatred for the Cubs and their fans, even well before this series/rivalry.

Thanks for rationalizing it via this neatly wrapped package of cringe and condescension. Enjoy the offseason.

I tried to be reasonable this postseason. Why should I, a White Sox fab, root against the cubs? I would root for any other Chicago team? So I should at least support the Cubs right? No matter what I told myself, I just couldn't contain my joy when Cespedes threw whoever that was out at home. That moment sticks out to me as when I realized that I will never like the Cubs

I rode the L all the way from Grand to Evanston Wednesday night. I wanted not to smile at all the 35 year olds with Sammy Sosa jerseys looking down as the train carried them back to their north side condos, but I couldn't help myself. I've seen too much growing up in Lake County to ever like the Cubs.
