It flips the media narrative on its head for sure. Now what do they talk about?? Who the 5th starter will be?

Where is the fun in that, you need to find some 88 year old grandma who wants to take tequila body shots after they finally win the pennant.

That's the difference though. The media pushes that stuff more than the fans. Sure there are some folks who liked to wear the badge of honor of rooting for the hapless Cubs... I think those folks are far less common than ESPN would have you believe.

Anyway... what's JORRs larger point?
Is it that if the team is bad the fans should not be filling the stadium?
Ok. Maybe I buy that. How does that coincide with jorr saying if you don't go to games you're not really a fan though?
Is jorr saying that the only real fans are fair weather fans?

The larger point is that losing is a part of what made the Cubs the Cubs. To deny that is just disingenuous.

I don't think winning or losing needs to have anything to do with whether the fans attend, but for most teams that's just the way it works.

I agree that losing is a part of what made the Cubs the Cubs but I'd say as far as fans go it's a small part. To the larger audience and the National crowd it's a large part. It's a part I'm glad to be rid of. I have no problem with this being what redefines the team. It's what we've always prayed for. I'm fine with it. If that's what redefines them then I say mission accomplished and I'll enjoy the new team definition.

Some of you seem to be struggling to find a new brand.

A NEW BRAND???
