    :) :D ;D

    Luckily, most of the people around here are Braves fans. I can handle their apathy.

    Na ha ha, Braves fans.
    Heritage, not hate.
    Division titles, not championships.

    Comparing a baseball team's success to that of the Cubs is like comparing one's skill at philosophy with that of Ayn Rand. Or comparing one's skill as a broadcast journalist with that of Michael Irvin...

    Wrigleyville wasn't always the yuppie Disneyland it is now. Used to be a solid working-class Polish 'hood. And there's still pockets of non-obnoxiousness, I guess. Haven't been there in years.

    There's a difference, though. Take away the bandwagon jumpers, and Wrigley would still sell out. Take away the bandwagon jumpers from the Braves, and you get what you have now -- sparse attendance.

    Lee Elia never developed the appropriate level of appreciation for Cubs fans.
