I'll just have to wait to see who I'll be rooting for in the World Series, now that my Cubs have been eliminated. If the Yankees win, I'll pick the Dodgers, since I used to live in L.A. many years back, but if the Astros come back to win the ALCS, then I'm definitely pulling for them.
I heard that the commissioner cancelled all games for the rest of the season.
seriously, I posted in a Cubs facebook group something about the loss and how I figured we lose, but how the loss was embarrassing, and some other fan said I wasn't a real Cubs fan and that I should go root for the dodgers. Fuck that noise. I REALLY hate other Cubs fans that say such and such isn't a true fan if they don't agree with them 100% It's fucking bullshit. I was a pallbearer at my grandfathers funeral. He was buried wearing his favorite Cubs shirt. I watched many games with him when I was a kid. Don't fucking call me a bandwagoner because I express my frustration with my team.
Sounds like he was someone who jumped on last year and barely knows anything from the team before 2016
Just like many Yankee bandwagon jumpers who have suddenly come crawling out of the woodwork like termites for the first time in 7 years think baseball didn't exist before 1996, and that the Yankee hat is a fashion accessory more than a symbol of their favorite team. These are the ones with a sense of entitlement that the World Series title is always theirs, and for them not to win is to have it stolen from them. They know who Derek Jeter or Aaron Judge is, but ask them who Babe Ruth or Yogi Berra was, and they'll tell you that one was a chocolatier who created a famous candy bar and the other lives in Jellystone Park.
Much like the Patriots fans who think the Super Bowl has only been around since 2002, who know Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and Rob Gronkowski but not Drew Bledsoe or Bill Parcells, and think their team has the right to every Lombardi trophy (adding that any time they don't win it, they've been robbed).
