Suckers...

The Cubs ---

I am a recovering Cubs fan. Three and a half seasons sober - thank you very much. I love seeing Cubs fans getting what they deserve. They are the most annoying of all the fan bases in sports.
You can put them all in one of three categories.

Wrigley Field fans -

These are the people who wear Wrigley Field t-shirts, sweatshirts & hats. The White Sox or Cardinals could start playing their home games there and these people wouldn't even notice it isn't the Cubs. These are also the fans who fill the park in the middle of September when the team is 20 games out of first place. They wouldn't be Cubs 'fans' if they didn't play in Wrigley Field. They believe in the curse and think things like having a priest bless the dugout before the playoffs is a good idea.

Percentage of the overall fan base - 40%

Head in the Sand fans -

These are the people who think Geovany Soto is the National League MVP and Mike Fontenot & Reed Johnson are All Stars. They also predicted, ignoring 99 years of fail, the Cubs would win the World Series in June. More than likely they blame Steve Bartman for what happened in '03.

Percentage of the overall fan base - 45%

Real fans -

They are knowledgable about baseball and have a realistic view of their team.

Percentage of the overall fan base - 15%
