Cubs fans simply show how moronic, classless, barbaric, and ignorant they were. The way the Cubs totally came undone after that one mishap on a foul ball play only exempted their level of unprofessionalism. They didn't make it to the World Series because they DIDN'T DESERVE IT neither did their fans.riceronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502225503121190748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264890949924188049.post-37034948502442071182011-10-03T14:43:30.036-04:002011-10-03T14:43:30.036-04:00This is funny and touching.

Philadelphia, where I live now and where we hope the Phillies will proceed to this year's World Series, is not as cruel, but it's a city whose weakened pulse casts its natives into deep depressions when their teams fail. I know this well because I live with one of them. She was SO happy to be reunited with them, but it's a two-edged sword. Do you know the song "Football" from the Rutland Weekend Television lp by Neil Innes and Eric Idle (mostly by Neil Innes)? It's a very sharp and funny examination of what you write about in the next-to-last paragraph. CurtisACravanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315707533118640284noreply@blogger.com
