Wisch: What Cubs Fans Will Lose If They Ever Win

This one is more the tune of what I was thinking of, where the Cubs fan wants his team to win because they were grittier and scrappier, not because they were smarter, because somehow that reflects a Cubs' identity...

Root for Theo if you want, but I want my Cubs back - Chicago Sun-Times

I'm sure there are numerous blogs out there that are anti-Theo and anything that could change the existing "Cubs Way" (whatever the hell that is, it's not working ) but I don't read everything so you'd have to hunt that down yourself.

Neither of those really say they want the Cubs to lose...they just want the Cubs to win "their way".

The other is about the Cubs fans losing their identity if they ever win..........meh, Boston didn't. They are still Boston.

That one is probably more in line with what Brett is saying. Personally I prefer the identity where the Cubs aren't perpetual losers, but there's always a contrarian.

Cubs fans having to get used to winning...and people choosing to longer be fans of them because they are winning are two seperate points.

Brett's stupid. That's something all fans can agree on.

I will concede that, although the tone in the second article suggested that the guy would rather forfeit a championship than to have to win the Theo Epstein way, which left me feeling pretty sour.

Which means he still wants to win..but for whatever reason doesn't want to do it the way it worked in Boston.

Which is absurd. But whatever.

Absurd, indeed. Winning is winning.
