Baseball should be called "The Game of ZZZzzzZZzzz..."

I hate baseball because it's long, boring, and the "athletes" who play the game are fat, disgusting slobs (see example at right). I pretty much hate all of baseball equally, but when it comes to the famous Cubs/Sox rivalry I hate the Cubs a little bit more. Jay Mariotti writes in the Sun Times that he'd like Sox fans (who are currently delighting in the fact that the Cubs are on the brink of elimination from the playoffs) to "grow up." I strongly disagree. Not only would this destroy a key part of Chicago's civic life that has animated the city for decades, but Cubs fans have to learn to take what they've dished out for so long. In my experience, the vast majority of Cubs fans couldn't tell you the difference between an RBI and an ERA. They just like to sit in the bleachers drinking beer and looking at Wrigley Field's ivy. That's perfectly fine, but it you're one of those "fans" just pledge your allegiance to Beer, Bleachers & Foliage and don't turn into a raving moron every time the Cubs come relatively close to winning a World Series.
