A true Cub fan would never hop on, but some of the younger ones and
some of the Uppies who are Cub fans only because it's trendy will
conveniently "convert." When the Cubs made the last round of the
playoffs a few years ago, bars on the south side of Chicago were giving
out free beers every time a Cub struck out. When I was a kid living
five miles south of old Comiskey Park, we used to beat up the
occasional Cub fan who might have found himself in the wrong
neighborhood. It's a divided city.

Enjoy your celebration Paul. You Chicagoans waited long enough for it.
Is
there room on that Sox bandwagon for all the Cubs fans?

No goats about it, No curses, no ivy, no whining. Chicago's best ball
club does what the cubbies never will do. Not just a win, but a
sweep!!!
(Sorry for the outrageously OT post, but I waited all my life for
this:-). Silly, isn't it :-))).
