If someone actually enjoys the losing even a little bit, they're not a Cubs fan.

In general, yes. But I enjoyed the shit out of the 2004 team's collapse.

Ah, Jesus, Chuck.  I fucking hated that team, but I'd still have loved to see them win it all.

Because you're not Chuck.

Seriously. Get boned, Chuck.

Maybe it goes in the I Admit It thread but I didn't hate the 2004 team at all. I just hated the result. And Todd Walker.

Yes, I would have loved to have seen that, too.  But it didn't hai. And once the shit hit the fan in Shea, I was glad to see those cocksuckers collapse.  And very glad that Kent Mercker wouldn't forever be a "Cub Hero."

If Tony Campana had managed to hit a GW HR in Game 7 of a World Series for the Cubs, I would gladly accept him as a "Cub Hero." Basically, I think any Cub fan would be fine with even their most hated player as a "Cub Hero" if it is because they won the WS

The last word I would use to describe my feelings at the end of that season is "glad".

They were still on top of the Wildcard after the Shea clufu.

It was the Reds series at Wrigley subsequent to that knocked them out.

Seriously, the fuck is wrong with you?  I'm asking honestly.  If you actually "enjoyed" that, while it was going on, you're a much bigger tool than I thought.

If I recall, I enjoyed every loss after the infamous Mercker call to the press box and the meeting between Stone and Baker than Hendry brokered.  If they were less interested in winning than what Steve Stone was saying, so was I.

[Tinker to Evers to Chance]

So Chuck is a huge Steve Stone fan.  Now it all makes sense.

You stopped rooting for the Cubs when they were 71-57?

Get fucked, seriously.

My post on the LaTroy Hawkins entry in the Bottom 126 on HJE back when Kerm was alive:

ARRGG that series against the Reds at the end of September. Cubs still had a chance after losing 2 out of 3 to the Mets. Cubs win the first game back home and then proceed to lose the next 3 to Cincy (2 of them in the 12th.) I went to every one of those Reds games and after the last one on 9/30 I'm sitting in Guthries with a buddy trying to tell myself not to take it so hard, the Bears are going to be playing every Sunday so I don't need to slit my wrists. We are sitting by the front door, its open, the place is full but not packed, its kind of quiet, everbody is miserable. I look up and there are 2 big buses stuck in traffic on Addison right in front of the bar. The door to the first bus opens and out comes this big meathead. Hey thats Sean Casey! He runs up to the front door of Guthries, leans in and yells, HEY CUB FANS... SUCK IT! He turns around and runs back onto the bus and the bus door closes.
Yeah, that made me feel a lot better.
Tell me again why I watch this F#$%ing team.

My point being even though they were a bunch of jerks I was still really pulling for them all the way until the end and I didn't enjoy in any way watching them come off the rails.
What is wrong with you Chuck?

I went to college with Sean Casey.

Great guy.

But yeah, fuck that.

The key to understanding Chuck is that he doesn't really enjoy sports.

True, but I would still hate hypothetical Cub Hero Ryan Theriot with a passion.
