What stats do you use against cub fans?

You know how all of you guys are always saying "i badgered that cub fan with stats and they just sat there staring at me blankly". Well what do you say? Do you use batting averages and wins/losses? Aww shoosh, probably just any numbers will do i guess

One thing that has shut them up this off-season has been: "Hey, congrats on finally getting back-to-back wining seasons in my lifetime."

The great draft choices they've made because they consistently lose 90+ games. I can get under the skin of many Cub fans by invoking the name of Mike Harkey, or even Ty Griffin. Two winning seasons in a row, that's almost Sox-like? Greg Maddux spent te best years of his career in Atlanta. 1969. In general, for a team to lose that consistently, for as long as they have, and to squander opportunity after opportunity to get talent, and yet fail, translates to LOSERS in my book. Moises Alou and Steve Bartman?

"Bad" Season for Podsednik: .313 OBP, 70 SB
Corey Patterson's career numbers: .303 OBP, 71 SB

I think it's obvious why Patterson is the next Carlos Beltran.

Ask them when Wood is going to win more than 14 games in one season...

That's a good one! Never thought about that before.

Starting with the 2000 season, the Sox have about 80 more games.

Cubs finished in third place last year, Sox in second.

I point that out whenever I hear any one say "He's a 20 game winner!!!" I then point out that is Danny Wright's career high in wins!

To me, that does nothing except remind us that they both didn't get the job done last season...

Here's a stat:

100% of Cub fans are idiots.

You'd blow most Cub fans away if you just use common sense.

Someone needs to remind Brad Palmer of this fact. Just now on the 6:00 Channel 7 news he said "Last year both the Cubs and Sox finished in second..." I was going to start a new topic, but just decided to toss it in here instead.

Strange...I never knew the Wild Card spot went to the best 3rd place team...

Here's one that get's them going every time.

Mark Buehrle 2004: 16-10

Kerry Wood and Mark Prior COMBINED 2004: 14-13

Tell them that Buehrle is better than Wood and Prior COMBINED, watch them laugh you off, and then throw this at them.

Also, refer to Kerry Wood as an under .500 pitcher, watch them laugh, and then remind them that "Kid K" went a horrific 8-9 last year.

It really bothers Cub fans when you know more about their team then they do, and you present indisputable facts to them that they can't deny.

This does the trick when Cubs fans talk about great JH and the Cubs organization is compared to how bad and cheap KW and JR and the Sox are:

The Cubs spent $91,101,667 and drew 3,170,184 fans, meaning for each person who saw a game at the Urinal, the Cubs spent $28.74 on players' salaries.
The White Sox spent $68,262,500 and drew 1,930,537 fans (none of which purchased tickets that were scalped by a subsidary of the team), for an average of $35.36 spent on players' salaries per fan.
Had the Cubs spent $35.36 per fan like the Sox, the Cubs payroll would've been $112,097,706. Who's cheap now? For that kind of coin maybe the Tribune Co. could've bought Cubs fans their precious World Series last year... or at least fielded a decent closer!

Also, it helps to point out that the Cubs only won six more games last year while spending a whopping 22,839,167 more than the Sox. That will shut any FOJH up quickly.

I luv it when you analyze.
