The
Chicago Cubs suck
! So here are my new and improved updated reasons the Chicago Cubs suck! Boy genius Theo Epstein has much to prove in 2013 after a disastrous 2012 season that saw the team lose 101 games. Though the pitching staff is slightly improved with the additions of Scott Baker and Edwin Jackson, if they can stay healthy, I see little reason to believe they can break the .500 mark this year. Epstein has yet to prove he can build a Championship team without inheriting Hall of Fame players like he did in Boston. His trade last year for Anthony Rizzo was a stroke of genius. But there is little else on the roster to believe this team is built for winning this year or any other year. However, Cub fans remain an enigma and will still believe this is a team worth watching. It’s hard to even consider Cub fans as true baseball fans since they are just not able to come to terms with the fact the
Chicago Cubs suck
. I will again predict that the Cubs will continue to lose fans in 2013 because they will begin to lose faith in Theo. When will they ever learn that the Cubs simply won’t win another World Series so long as they play in the cursed Wrigley Field, the biggest single’s bar in the world.
I have to also mention that Chicago’s south side team had shown significant improvement under Robin Ventura’s guidance. I am not impressed with the moves Rick Hahn, the new GM, made in the off season and the the loss of A.J. Pierzynski will be huge. I see little competition for the Tigers in that division in 2013. may have been the most underachieving team in baseball this year. This led to the departure of Ozzie Guillen, although for the life of me I can’t figure out why Kenny Williams is still general manager of the White Sox. This being said, they still managed to be more competitive than the Cubs. I have to wonder if most teams these days in the major leagues actually sit around their clubhouses discussing the many reasons the chicago cubs suck.
Now I created this website for Cub’s fans that are tired of ‘wait ‘til next year’ and want to vent their anger. This site is also for all the White Sox fans who know their team is consistently better but never seems to get credit for it in the media. And for all those recently converted Cub fans who couldn’t take it anymore. And let’s not forget our Cardinal, Brewers, and Reds fans that have had to put up with the ‘Cub Nation’ for far too long.
It is my intention to continue the stimulating conversation that has been thriving for over 100 years in Chicago about its baseball teams. I encourage everyone to leave their comments so we can all share in the conversation. As the moderator for all the comments I will not tolerate stupid, nonsensical dribble. Well, maybe just a little. Try to limit any foul language, as children may be visiting this site.
I will not apologize for the fact the
Chicago Cubs suck
. There are so many reasons for this and I will share some of these on future posts.
I will share some of the great Wrigley Field history (thank god for the Bears) and some of the more ridiculous excuses (Steve Bartman incident to name one) Cub fans have used throughout the years.
Thanks for dropping by and I hope you have fun with the blog, and check our out poll.

Great site. We needed this.
Most fitters are Sox fans. We had a couple of Cub fans there for a while. They left the trade and are working as bartenders on north Halsted Street.

Personally my favorite Cub fan was Mike Royko, who wrote dozens and dozens of scathing Cub columns in the old Daily News. What got him madder than anything else was the sight of Shawon Dunston striking out on a 2-strike slider that wound up way outside, which Dunston could never avoid getting suckered by. Royko would fly into a rage and print a column the next day chastising Dunston relentlessly, it was hilarious.

GREAT VIDEO I loved it. This is what the Cubs accomplished in 2011: 1. They led major league baseball in errors with 134. 2. Carlos Marmol led major league baseball in blown saves with 10. 3. Starlin Castro led the majors at all positions in errors with 29. 4. Matt Garza had the most errors by a pitcher in MLB with seven. 5. Mike Quade tied a club record with 7 ejections (tying Frankie Frisch in 1950). 6. Carlos Zambrano quit, left town, and no one missed him.

I hate the is Cubs because ive been a die hard Cardinals fan since i was born. One of the reason the Cubs suck is because their fans dont have any respect or knowledge of the game of baseball. They r the most obnoxious fans in baseball theyre at the game to get drunk and party. I guess i would have to get drunk as hell tho too if i had to watch that team play every year. Another reason the Cubs suck and havent won the WS in103 years is the fact that there is 40,000 Cubs fans at Wrigley holdin their breath waitng to see how their loveable losers r gonna break there hearts this year. The Cardinals are, have, and always will be the best Baseball Organization in the National League!

I hate the cubs because I am a 100% Brewer fan. You know you suck when your own players want to to go to their rival to the north just to get out of chicago. Now that we have the only player that is worth anything in chicago, they are going to suck more. If that is possible.

From the viewpoint of a Philles fan the Cubs are great, because we can always count on a series win. Actually when the Cubs aren’t playing my team I pull for them, just out of respect for their great fans. I can’t imagine having to deal with that kind of futility, as a fan for that long. Maybe Epstein will come through for them. I hope so.

Theo Epstein wanted a bigger challenge after making the Red Sox a temporary winner. I guess he didn’t get the memo about being careful what you wish for. Comparing the Bambino curse to the Cubs is like comparing climbing a speed bump to climbing Mount Everest without an oxygen mask. (Can he breathe at 30,000 feet?)
For starters, the Cubs need a whole pitching staff of Jeff Samardzia clones. Any mad scientist care to run off John, Joe, James, and Jermaine? Some A-Rod copies would be good for some hitting while you’re at it. Theo has 4 years to work his miracle. Good luck… because he’ll need it!
