Not That I'd Want To Jinx Anything

Hey everybody, check out these Cubs division champs t-shirts! You should get over to MLB.com and buy 100 of them right now.

There's no way the Cubs can blow a two game lead with four games left to play! By wearing these shirts, you will only show everybody else how confident you are in this team.

Yeah, I've tried all season to support this team, and say I'm okay with them winning while the Sox lose, but you know what? Turns out I've been lying! The closer we get to the end of the season, the less I want the Cubs to make the playoffs. Before any of you Cubs fans go attacking me in the comments though, realize that I already know why I feel this way.

You can tell me I'm jealous, and somewhere inside me, you're probably right. I'm sure there's a part of me that's jealous of the Cubs success this season, but that's not the real reason I don't want them to win anymore.

No, that would be because I'm bitter as hell. The White Sox suck. The Bears look like they're gonna suck. Notre Dame sucks. Every team that I have left to root for at the moment sucks.

Except the Cubs, and that's annoying.

Ballhype: hype it up!

That's just petty and pathetic.

As for jinxes, if things go wrong, be proud: you'll be the 2007 Bartman.

You're right, it is petty and pathetic.

What I'm wondering though, is how do you describe the type of person who roots for whichever team is doing better?

You wouldn't know anybody like that, would you, Panger?

As I've been to many games with Mr. Fornelli in the Wrigley bleachers in '98 as we watched Sosa hit the long ball, I wondering if he wants to go back to those days...
