Some struggle to break .500 more than once or twice over the course of a decade.

Like the Cubs of the 40s, 50s, 60s, 80s, and 90s?

Some teams have gone 40 years without making the playoffs. Some teams win 11 games in one playoff run. Some teams take 30 years to accumulate 11 October victories. Some teams have a 100 year gap between post season series vitories.

It's gonna be a rough decade ahead for you Bob. You'll be an old man by the time the Cubs stop being second tier status in this city going forward. At least youll always have 2016

I am 100% certain if the White Sox won ten World Series titles in a row, they would take over Chicago and dethrone even the Bears as the #1 team in town.

That's a cute thought. One thing it is not though is reality.

pizza_Place: What??

The foundation of Cub fandom is made of ivy and backward hats. And now they've created Disneyville and the Cubbie Motel. Many Attendance Trophies will follow.

Seems an opportune time to let people on the bandwagon to avoid that outcome.

the warm and fuzzy cubbies will figure out a way to profer the narrative that they saved baseball after the 2022 strike

There are no gatekeepers of fandom. Folks can root for whoever they want. HawaiiYou sucks though.
