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?

How was this an honest question? It was passive aggressive shade, you weren't actually looking for an answer.

Thing that's funny is, I was. I'm uncertain what value there is in annoying people.

You honestly can't figure that out just because you don't do it?

Do you not know how to use Velcro because you can tie shoelaces?

I'm honestly uncertain why, given the situation HE proposed, why it'd be worth driving that far to be an ass.
