I think the Cubs have more of a national following, perhaps in part due to their games being broadcast on WGN (which was available all over the place) way back in the day. That's why I became a (casual) Cubs fan, despite growing up 800 miles away. We also had no other close baseball team where I lived, so why not?
I thought Saints fans in New Orleans were zealous, but holy crap. Your odds of getting shot walking down the street go up from like 70% to 90% just by putting on a Cubs jersey.
Lester's going to have 200 pitches under his belt by the time he leaves the bullpen. But really, can't justify pulling Hendricks yet.
Edit: Spoke too soon. Damn, that is not the call I would have made.
fucking Maddon you idiot
