Man I cant wait to vent this. I just got back from spring break with my buddies in Florida. We went to the Hilton in Clearwater Beach for a week. I probably encountered 5 or 6 idiot cubs fans who gave me crap and were the biggest morons I could imagine. I swear this doops are all over, and they are all the same.
Encounter #1:
The first day we got there we went to 1 of the many beachside outfoor cafe/ restaurants on Clearwater for lunch. I am wearing my sox hat and when I walk into the resturant some 60 year old guy goes "Booooo WHite Sox". Of course I say back "Cubs Suck". And hes like "How did you know I like the cubs". I was like are you kidding me. Cubs fans are the only ones dumb enough to try and bash the minority of sox fans. On my way out he was yelling again "Booo White Sox". This time I fired back with comments about Dusty gets you no where and your 2 top pitchets are on the DL once again. That shut him up right away he probably didn't even know.
Encounter #2:
I met a good looking girl in the hot tub and pool area one day. We got to talking and when I said Im from Chicago she went on and on about how she absolutly LOVES THE CUBBIES and is a HUGE FAN. She then goes on to tell me shes from Maryland and never been or lived in Chicago. Then she starts giving me crap saying how on earth can I be from Chicago and not like the cubbies, everyone loves the cubbies. I tried to explain to her about 2 teams and ya da da but it was waste. She is from Baltimore and didn't even know Sammy was traded there until I told her, but she LOVES THE CUBBIES and doesnt understand how anyone can hate them like me. WOW!!!
Encounter #3
Friday night in the Hot Tub we started talking to this guy who said he was from St. Joseph's Michigan, not too far away. We got to talking and he was once again telling me how he LOVES THE CUBS and is a HUGE FAN. He already bought the new field box tickets or whatever for a game at like $200 a pop and bought up a bunch of bleacher tickets and says he went to like 12 bleacher games last year and LOVES THE CUBBIES. So of course I counter with White Sox stuff and he thought I was wearing a Cubs Beleive bracelet the whole time when i was really wearing my SOX PRIDE. He said he didn't know there was a sox bracelet. I asked him why he is so cubs adament even thought he lives so far away and US Cellular is Closer. He said he doens't know he just always like the cubs and he loves going to games in the bleachers and going to the bars. And its such a great time. He mentioned nothing of the team, players, or anything, just the bleachers and bars and large sums of money he spends. I just laughed.
I had other encounters with people (locals) wearing cubs hats and stuff. Sometimes I would ask them about the hats they either said something dumb like "I like the hat" or something like "We always root for the cubs".
Thats my aggravating story, it seems like no matter where you go you can escape no nothing bandwagon cubs fans. They are just too stupid and lack the baseball knowledge to realize they are an embarssament to themselves and the cubs.
