"The Cubs and there fans are so stupid.  Every year its "The curse ends now", "This years the year", thers always some aniversery of some stupid cubs memory of them sucking balls.  I'm sick of listening to it.  I hope the stupid fans keep thinking the world series, because while there thinking that the Brewers will cruise right past them."

You seem to be cruising the wrong way at 5 back at tied for 4th place with Pittsburgh.  The reason Cub fans are so optimistic is because they actually have a legitimate chance to win it all... as does any team that makes it to the post season.  I guess it beats sitting at home every year and complaining about the Cubs and their annoying fans as you spend another year where your biggest highlight is waiting for the Cubs season to come to an end since your season is generally over in August.

" He was so in the present till the Brewers showed exactly what I knew they were, a bad team. "

Exactly, and now he turns to the Brewer fans' best friend... the 100 year curse.  If the Cubs win it all this year, they might as well move the team because Brewer fans will have nothing left to turn to for a rooting enjoyment of the game.

Number one, it someone makes a post directly to me, I'm going to respond.  No one else needs to respond if they feel its not worth it. 

Both shakerz and udub are idiots.  They have both proven that over and over.  They have a five game lead with a quarter of the season gone and now feel comfortable gloating about it.  I said my piece on the Cub board before the season.  Its a long year and I dont feel the need to go over on that board and gloat about anything until the season is over.  If I was wrong, I'll be the first one to go over and congratulate them.  Its just that simple. If the Crew isnt good enough, they arent good enough.

My problem is that somehow stupid, arrogant Cub fans (not all, I certainly have a lot of respect for cubsbadgers and couple of others) think this franchise is above so many others.  The point is  that the gaol is to win the World Series, not accumulate playoff appearances.  Are you really going to tell me that Cubs fans will be happy with "just making the playoffs" again.  I doubt it, any Cub fan worth his salt will tell you anything but the Series would be a disappointment this year.  I can rattle off dozens of teams that have won the World Series in the last 100 years, the Cubs would not be among them.  That would make them a second tier team just like the Brewers and any other long suffering team.  Seriously, if a Yankee fan were part of this discussion do  you really think he would not laugh at both teams?  Why the moniker lovable losers?  Why the laundry list of "curses"?  That is just a feeble attempt to explain why a franchise with all the resources of a top three market has failed to win a Series in 100 years.

Those who said this arguement is stupid are 100% correct.  I had to respond in my mind so I did.  The Brewers have nothing to gloat about, the Cubs have nothing to Gloat about.  Failing to make the playoffs for 25 years is disgusting and I am ver sick of it.  I for one see the light at the end of the tunnel.  It may not happen this year, but this team is very well positioned to make a serious run for several years and I am happy about that.  On the same side of the coin, the Cubs have resources well beyond anything the Brewers could dream of and have had talent that put the Brewers to shame in years past.  Given the opportunity the Cubs have had year after year, I dont think not winning the Series in 100 years is anything to be proud of either.
