^^^I don\'t really get it man. First of all there are tons of Boston fans here in Chicago that don\'t live and die with every pitch/get off on Yankee losses--that\'s obviously an east coast culture. Second of all, your team starts winning, and winning in dramatic fashion, year after year and you\'re just going to quit being a part of the goods?
Dude, try living in Chicago as a Cub fan. The same bullshit goes on between Cubs and White Sox fans, maybe not to the same extent, but shit gets ugly and ridiculous often. I\'m personally not one to gloat when the Sox lose here, I enjoy both teams successes. On top of it I find that the collective Cub fan community could be the WORST of any. I hate going to Wrigley Field, especially if it\'s a important game. I hate all the retarded drunk assholes that forget about the game, I hate the fucking "Go Cubs Go" song when we win, I hate all the kool-aid drinkers that really do still think next year is our year, I hate the 7th inning stretch sing along, I hate Wrigleyville bars stocked with raging meatheads and pink pin-striped frat girls, I hate Cubs talk radio. Fuck it, the culture around the Cubs sucks now. All of the magic I felt as a kid is gone. As much as I want to, I will never be able to realistically turn my back on this team. If I ever see them win a championship I might seriously shed some tears. But as far as the grand culture goes I have all but removed myself from it. I love baseball, I love the Cubs, and that\'s where my focus lies. I have consciously faded out all of the bullshit surrounding Cub-nation and feel better off because of it.
