Re: Baseball Fan Loyalty....

LETS GO RANGERS!!<br /><br />Thats cool that you would cheer for them Cubbies!<br /><br />I have more respect for Cubbie fans, for I feel that they too have been under the "Curse of the Bambino", but they haven't made it their wholes lives dwelling upon that, like the Red Sox have!<br /><br />And, I still will never understand Red Sox managment!<br /><br />Just when are they going to learn?

It really is a killer Kenny. You should see the voodoo people practice around here trying to "reverse the curse". Old people have gone from the cradle to the grave without celebrating a WS. I hope I see at least one in my lifetime.<br /><br />I can't fault the management, we have new owners, a new GM, a new coach (he sucks :mad: :mad: ), but the players are underachieving big time. We have the second highest payroll, but the players continue to stink up the joint.<br /><br />But I still love them :p

Thing is MY, Nomar was a free agent and we were gonna lose him at the end of the year anyways. Too much damage was done to him by teammates and mgt over the whole A-rod thing over last off-season. I guess you could say the Yanks stuck it to us twice on the A-rod deal :(

That is a tough call. The best ss in baseball is playing 3rd base right now. Leading the league in homers I might add also. Nomar has that work ethic you just can't teach.<br /><br />Ted Williams rolled over in his grave (or in his ice chamber :mad: ) when they traded him I bet, cause Teddy Ball-Game said Nomar was one of the best pure hitters he has ever seen.

I would root for the Cubbies until the day I died had it not been for a few strikes back in the day, which ruined baseball for me. Up until that time, I could give you rosters and stats on every team in the majors.<br /><br />In my heart, I'll always have a place for the Cubs and if they make it to the WS, then I'll watch. Until that time, I will continue my boycott of baseball and not watch the bums.<br /><br />I do get my fix by watching the local Lexington Legends minors.
