Cubs fans DO NOT have a "sense of entitlement", you're confusing that with the desire to be a part of a long-awaited celebration.  Trust me, we want the Cubs players to earn the win, and do not feel that they "deserve it" for any reason other than winning ball games.  Furthermore, after the display I witnessed these past 4 days, it was clear that the Cubs were blatantly outplayed and scoring a total of 6 runs in the 3 games, proved to me that they did not BY ANY MEANS earn the opportunity to play in the NLCS (losing aside).  That doesn't mean that these 3 games should discount the 97 times this season that they won.  So overrated, I think not, but this team for the past two years has no doubt been one filled with postseason struggles.  Back to the fans however, yes, there are plenty of drunken, moronic fans................anywhere you go!  I'm a 21-year old fan, and I don't feel like I have to drink to have a good time when I go to a ball game.  However, I'm not going to stop people from making their own decisions and as a result, I've seen drunken, jerk fans in the stands from a multitude of teams:  Cubs, Sox, Cardinals, D-Backs, e.t.c.  Guess what, the world is filled with plenty of tools, but that is no reason to characterize an ENTIRE FAN BASE on the actions of the select few.  I mean by that standard, I COULD say that Brewers fans are complete d-bags, because the last time I was at Miller Park in the right field seats, three lewd fans in Brewers attire were throwing beer at the grounds crew and telling Geoff Jenkins that he sucks and should trade himself.  Do I characterize Brewers fans by these actions?  No!  I accept that these people are tools and move on with my life.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/1965052878752189818/comments/default/9005567711804038682'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/1965052878752189818/comments/default/9005567711804038682'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2008/10/fukudome-is-dirty-word.html?showComment=1223238660000#c9005567711804038682' title=''/><author><name>Greg</name><uri>www.cubs.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2008/10/fukudome-is-dirty-word.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-1965052878752189818' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/posts/default/1965052878752189818' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-8984793806850013482</id><published>2008-10-05T01:59:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-05T01:59:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I am from Wisconsin and going to Brewers games, yo...</title><content type='html'>I am from Wisconsin and going to Brewers games, you notice how horrible Cubs fans are. Brewers fans are usually quite respectful and enjoy the game, even when the Brew lose, like they often used to. However, Cubs fans actually have the audacity to go to an opposing stadium, tell you your teams sucks, try to get into a fight with you, and throw beer.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Maybe it's just chicago but in Milli we will take their money gladly but tire of their immature sportsmanship. It's a game, and it seems like Brewer fans understand that, Cubs fans don't.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/1965052878752189818/comments/default/8984793806850013482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/1965052878752189818/comments/default/8984793806850013482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2008/10/fukudome-is-dirty-word.html?showComment=1223189940000#c8984793806850013482' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2008/10/fukudome-is-dirty-word.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-1965052878752189818' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/posts/default/1965052878752189818' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-2661110274544480089</id><published>2008-10-03T16:39:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-03T16:39:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Michael, you shmuck.

The Lovable Losers! There is Nothing &amp;quot;Fun or Cute&amp;quot; about them. They are the Ultimate Losers (Chokers).&lt;BR/&gt;Most of their fans are arrogant over-served crybabies. They feel they have a sense of entitlement. Like a World Series title is Owed them, because they are the &amp;quot;Cubbies&amp;quot;. Cub fans have a warped sense of reality.&lt;BR/&gt;Wrigley Field is Old decrepit mausoleum that wreaks of Urine. 90% of the &amp;quot;Fans&amp;quot; go because Wrigley is A Big Beer Garden. I know so Few &amp;quot;Real&amp;quot; Cub Fans that remember the days of 5,000 people in the stands &amp;amp; Lee Elia cussing everyone out. The Older Wiser Cub Fans are the people I respect. The Young Cub Fan only knows Beers Girls &amp;amp; Bars. They Get loaded act &amp;amp; like Fools. They Feel its HIP to be a Cubs Fan (For Some Reason?) Being a Cub Fan is like being a Tortured P.O.W. I do not feel one bit sorry for any of em.&lt;BR/&gt;They truly are THE WORST FANS in baseball, just like Marty Brennaman &amp;amp; Jeff Brantley said. Brennaman called Cubs fans &amp;#39;&amp;#39;far and away the most obnoxious fans in baseball&amp;#39;&amp;#39; and added: &amp;#39;&amp;#39;This is what makes you want to see this Cubs team lose. Throwing 15 balls on the field, there&amp;#39;s absolutely no excuse for that, and that is so typical of Cub fans.&amp;#39;&amp;#39; &amp;amp; &amp;quot;Cardinals fans were the best in baseball&amp;quot;&lt;BR/&gt;The upcoming 2008 Choke will Trump the 2003 Choke. I can&amp;#39;t wait to see how they F.K. it up this year. The Lambs will be Led to Slaughter Once Again!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/1965052878752189818/comments/default/3463145383855050426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/1965052878752189818/comments/default/3463145383855050426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2008/10/fukudome-is-dirty-word.html?showComment=1223058060000#c3463145383855050426' title=''/><author><name>Michael</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17576981973378262151</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2008/10/fukudome-is-dirty-word.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-1965052878752189818' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/posts/default/1965052878752189818' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
