That map is too funny, but no other team in the nation draws cheers at opposing stadiums like the Cubs do. I've seen them at 5 other stadiums and have always been part of a huge Cub fan presence! GO CUBS!
And Craig!
Joe, I'd say Red Sox and Yankees both have the Cubs beat on that count ... though the Yankees carry enough boos to balance it out.
I wasn't keeping track...when did Billy Corgan become a douche bag?
Joe, a lot of people love to cheer losers.
Was Billy Corgan ever *not* a douche bag?
Holy ReadingTooMuchIntoAudienceBanter!
First, that baseball map is an artist's rendering not based on any statisical facts. I wouldn't go around using it to prove anything. It is cool though.
You Tube Videos? That I like. Anyone else agree that they would like to see a collection of Chicago related You Tube/You Tubish videos? Like always, I'm not clicking on any of those stories. Once I read the headline, I get the point.
Di Urrea, if people love to cheer losers, then why don't the White Sox have stahdning room only this year?
The Cubs have that "huge" presence like the Yankees and Red Sox because they're a huge money team ruining the rest of MLB that is *always* on national TV. For an example of a huge money team that's not always on national TV, note that the White Sox barely have any fans left these days (it's been two years since a championship!). It's not really a good thing to have a bunch of know-nothing fair-weather fans hopping on your bandwagon in other cities when your team manages to put together a winning season..
Why does what Billy Corgan said have anything to do with "Zeitgeist"? The man dated Courtney Love for crissakes (while she was married even!) and Paris Hilton posed for the liner notes of the album. If anyone knows what a slut looks like, its Billy Corgan.
Yet no one can defend the Cubs or the White Sux..
