Try A Little Bitterness: Your 2009 Chicago Cubs

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:02:13 -0500

Two weeks ago, I went to a game at Wrigley Field and watched the Cubs lose 15-6 to the worst team in Major League Baseball. This week, I returned to Wrigley for the Crosstown Classic makeup game and witnessed what was arguably the worst loss of the season. Given these two horrifying experiences and the context of the 2009 season, I think I'm entitled to blow off a little bitter steam. I have always been and will always remain a die-hard Cubs fan. But we're dying right now. And it's hard.

It's the eternal debate that usually crops up during the summer's Crosstown Classic, Windy City Showdown, Red Line Series or whatever they're going to call it this year.

Can a Chicagoan--in good conscience--root, root, root for both the Cubs and the White Sox?
