Now that they're good enough to win the second Wild Card all the phony Sox fans on Chicago sports radio can come out of the closet and show their true colors. |

As of today,only 4 teams in MLB have a better record. Of course two of those teams are in the Cubs division. |

The #Cubs would be in 1st place in any other division in #MLB except for the #AL Central, but sit in 3rd place in rugged NL Central |

I will bet you $10 the Cubs don't get the second wild card, Rod. I don't think they will either. But I do think it's funny that all the obvious Cub fans on Chicago sports radio who have denied their allegiance for years, even claiming to be big Sox fans, are suddenly pulling the Cub caps out of the back of their closets.

Is there a wrong way to win? After 100 and however many years, I would think Cubs fans would want their team to win at all costs, regardless of who thinks its "right." |

This Cicero Dave makes alot of posts in the Cubs section. Someone once made some suggestions that for some reason that or the opposite was not appropriate? |

I think you may be accusing people of being fans when instead they are just following a good story. Which might be considered part of their job. Of course, if ever there was a cause to switch allegiance to the Cubs, now might be one. |

No. Guys like Mac FM and bernstein are obviously more gleeful when the Cubs show a glimmer of hope than they were when the Sox steamrolled to a World Series victory. |

I don't know about either of those guys for sure, but wasn't Mac a big Cubs fan when he was younger, and then switched allegiances? He may just be coming home after a rumspringa. |

Yeah, I'm all on board with pointing out the various ways Bernstein sucks...but this would be one of the least significant reasons. |

I only remember this from 2005: At the end of July they were 68-35, a 14 and a half game lead in the American League Central over both Cleveland and the Minnesota Twins. However, from August 12 through August 23, they would lose 8 out of 9 games they played, including a 7-game losing streak and sweeps at the hands of the Boston Red Sox and Twins, reducing their lead to 7 games, and would finish August at 80-51. |
