If you weren't sick enough of the Lance Armstrong bracelets that puked all over the Earth, brace yourself for the second coming. Cubs nation is offering blue bracelets inscribed with the recently adopted Cubs mantra, "BELIEVE."
"BELIEVE" in Dusty and his Cubs that lost 7 out of 9 at the end of the season with a great baseball team to miss the playoffs. "BELIEVE" Steve Bartman cost them the World Series the year before. Maybe they should start "believing" in themselves as a team instead of individuals before anything else.
Cubs fans have reportedly been confusing the bracelets with the more familiar wristbands given out at most bars. I've heard a few reports of saddened Cub fans who apparently "believed" the wristband granted them free Old Style at Wrigley Field all season long.
The bracelets are available for $2, but honestly, if you're considering buying one, I "believe" a better idea would be dropping your $2 in a dirty puddle, stomping all over it, pouring gasoline into the puddle, and then lighting it on fire.
