FeedSports: Today’s dilemna
April 12, 2008 in The Sports Page Tags: baseball, red sox, Television, yankees
The New York Yankees are playing the Boston Red Sox in a nationally televised game, and I can’t decide who I want to lose more. It’s isn’t so much the teams I loathe, it’s their fans, are compete for the title for most obnoxious.

The whole Yankees-Red Sox thing is a standing joke in my office. Why ESPN and the rest of the sporting press think the whole country cares about two good teams in an admittedly crap division is way beyond me. The AL Central is, by far, the most hotly contested and difficult division in baseball, yet it gets little to no coverage.

I used to be a cubs fan until they literally ran some poor mope out of town, cost him his job, etc. Pretty hard core if you ask me.

If you are refering to that miserable wretch Steve Bartman, I refuse to apologize.

You and the Guv have something in common: “Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich went as far as telling the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper that “[Bartman] better join the witness protection program.”

Actually, I think the witness protection program may be in the offing for Public Official A.

Bill, as a fellow Cubs fan, let me tell you what Bartman represents: another excuse.
Just like the curse and the black cat and the billy goat.
The Cubs choked, plain and simple. You want to direct your “miserable wretch” comment to the proper parties?:
Try Alou for totally melting down, same for Dusty and Prior, Alex Gonzalez for booting the double play ball, Kerry Wood for crapping the bed in game 7, and if you really want someone to blame: how about Zambrano who blew a 4-0 lead in game 1. The Cubs would have not even have been in that position if he could have held it together.
It makes me embarrassed to be a Cubs fan when I hear the name Bartman.
