    Let's face facts: The Cubs and their friends to the east, the Red Sox, know all about losing. The Cubs haven't won the World Series since 1908 while the Red Sox were last crowned champions in 1918, interestingly enough beating the Cubs in six games. You must admit, it's been a painful time for each team since they last won a championship.

    *Can't beat ... The hot dogs at Wrigley The Yankees
    two pathetic teams who refuse to get new ballparks. One is looking for a piano, and the other just got lights 10 years ago. :rolleyes: Get with the times losers!!!

    anyway, I quoted that last one because Fenway is known for it's franks too. I think they are great!! They should have listed it this way:

    Can't beat:
    Sox: The Yankees
    Cubs: The single season HR record (poor Sammy)
    NYYFans FBB: Evil Empire

    Little-known fact: the 1918 WS featured ... BOS over CHC in 6 games!!!

    At least Cubbies fans don't go talkin' smackdown to us all day. While I can at least like a Muts fan on rare occasion, I take exception to Sux fans, especially when they're drunk!!!
