Zero respect for a guy who just constantly hates on one team, and doesn't even claim a team of his own. It's a boring act.

If you took even 1% of the time you do rooting against the Cubs and spent it rooting FOR your team (whoever that is), I think you might get more enjoyment out of the sport as a "fan".

Fuck the Cubs. Cub fans should of been more humble about their early season success. If Theo doesn't get another solid starter and one or two arms for the bullpen this team is in trouble.

Hahahaha, this is a joke right? Should have been more humble. I literally laughed out loud.

PS fuck you, fuck the Mets, and fuck your mom

The notion that this is some kind of karmic realignment because Cubs fans were excited about the team's good start might be the most ridiculous thing I have read on here in some time.

Had it been the Mets it would have been 10x worse around here. I can only imagine the Greenbacks thread.

How, exactly, would you propose this humility should have been practiced? I know personally I was realistic that they would come back to Earth. I didn't see anyone guaranteeing a World Series except maybe some ESPN pundits...but not actual Cubs fans. We are too familiar with our history to do such silly things.

I'll never understand why people have hatred towards a team that ain't never won shit.

Not at all. All the Cubs fans I know personally already think they are going to the WS. When you haven't done shit for a century you should be a little more humble about your expectations until they actually get there.

Well I assume they are still favored to win the NL, so it's not exactly a ridiculous proposition. Anyone who thinks it is a guarantee is a moron, and you should probably stop hanging out with those people.

But to hate a team because a much maligned fan base has hope is pretty ridiculous.

HarryCaray · Jul 6, 2016

Sounds like you're butt hurt that the Cubs got the early season attention from the media. That is neither the team's nor the fans' fault.

No I hate a team because of the much maligned fans that I in now personally have not been hopeful and instead cocky. That 4-0 sweep again this year by the Mets have put them back in thier place. Not ALL Cub fans are like this. I'm just talkkng about the ones I know.

If there is any fan base who should be humble it is cubs fans.

And they have no reason to be cocky. Win the world series first. This team has done nothing but have a nice start to the season. you would think by listening to the fans they are going for a three peat wold series championship this season.

Listening to cubs fans this year has been pretty eye opening as to their true character.

How many Cubs fans do you interact with down there in Texas? Must be quite a large sample to make you say "fuck them" to an entire team.

I mean, I know a guy who is a big Indians fan. He's pretty sure they're going to win the AL pennant this year. I don't give a rat's ass, it doesn't make me hate him or the Indians.

Nah, your story doesn't add up. You think maybe it bothers you cause you think they might be right?

Still sore that your ole man got made fun of at a game by some Cubs fans, huh? Apple doesn't fall far from the tree I guess.

I'm not understanding what y'all think Cubs fans should do to display the appropriate level of humility. Every baseball conversation should be prefaced with "but I know it's still hard to win it all" or "I know we haven't won since 1908 but..."? Or maybe we should just not be allowed to talk good about our team until AFTER they win a world series someday?

Ridiculous

I think you're confusing the media with actual fans. Media hyped this team hard early on. Fans have a guarded sense of optimism.

I know MANY. Originally from Iowa.

Sure they do. By far the most promising next decade in baseball. One of the best records in the majors.

Give me one quote. One example. Just one. One example of something specific a Cubs fan has said or did that displays this attitude.

So why do you care that they hype their own team? Why does it bother you so much? I mean, it will be played out on the field. You currently have the last laugh from last year's NLCS. So what's the rub? Who cares?

Because they talked shit all last year then got swept. Talked shit ALL season this year...and got swept again. Like I said before and to remind you AGAIN....Im not talking about all fans, just the ones I know. Fuck the Cubs.

HarryCaray · Jul 7, 2016

See I view it this way. The cocky fans that irritate me are the ones whose teams actually win stuff. Like annoying Patriots fans. Or Heat fans when LBJ was there. Or Yankees fans in the 90s.

Maybe you should just laugh it off. I mean, if I had a bunch of friends that were Cleveland Browns fans, and the Browns started 6-0, and they started talking Super Bowl...I'd probably just laugh.

And all these friends from Iowa. I'm guessing you don't have face to face interaction with them. So...basically what it comes down to is you're sick of them posting pro-Cubs memes on Facebook? I'm genuinely just trying to understand the hate.

Talked what kind of shit? Like, "we're gonna destroy the Mets", and then they were wrong? Like, "we're the best team in baseball", and then lost a July series in your house?

Fans caught up that we finally have a decent team to root for. We're supposed to apologize for having confidence?

Fuck you for having some kind of humility standard when it comes to rooting for your team. That's gay

But fine, you hate the Cubs, just like I hate the Mets. The bottom line is I like my team more than I hate yours. I'm sure the same is true for you. That's all I was originally trying to say. You can say fuck the Cubs all you want and I'm cool with it, cause I know you actually root for your own team. 5teamhomo only (publicly) roots against teams. That's weak.

Then if I were you I'd love it. You keep coming out on the right side here. Just an easy target for you to feed crow to. And you should probably be making a few bucks off them too.
