Out of the Loop

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.

More Cub vommit, the curse is clearly still alive and well, all the Dustiny in the world won't win you a ring. Jimmy Buffett is the only thing worth seeing inside of Wrigley this summer folks.

They: Still have to pay Sammy Sosa nearly $10 million this year.
We: Sent that cancer to the North Side years ago.

They: Blame their misfortunes on a lowly Notre Damer named Bartman and a goat.
We: Won the World Series just as recently as 1917.

They: Fill the ballpark every single game with drunken idiots.
We: Rarely fill the park, but at least the ones that come are there to watch baseball.

They: Have jumped on the vomit bandwagon with their BELIEVE bracelets.
We: Didn't

Long live the Homer Hanky! Cheers to the Twins winning the division yet again.

I guess this means you don't want to go to any games with us this year HUH!

I'd love to go to some games. Baseball is baseball.

Sellout

when i gave blood last week, instead of putting the same old doofus sticker they put on me everytime (a walking, smiling cartoon drop of blood saying 'i gave blood- yea!'), they tried to attach a red lance armstrongy bracelet on me... ahh, no thanks, i'm trying to quit.

Skillz,

You mean to say you would refuse to go to a CUBS game with me if you were in town & I asked you to go with Matt & the old die-hard?
You must have been hit on the head with the Liberty bell or eaten to many cheese steaks.
Matt is right, if you love baseball any game can be intresting.

Trudes:

I kid of course. I would love a trip to Wrigley with you and Matthew. I just don't want him forgetting his allegiance to the towns #1 squad. I also do agree that baseball is baseball, that could be the only explanation for the number of Philles games I sat through this passed season.

Opening day is just over a month away, and I'll be there in Philly for the debut of the Washington Nationals.

skillz,

people dont go to sox games to watch baseball. they go because they can bring their dog and get in for $3.00 on mondays. so relax.

Actually, I think you can still get in for half price on Tuessday too, but you have to bring a Pepsi can.

Also, please don't forget Elvis night and Picnic in the Park.

We're all about the gimmicks.

skillz,

i find it hilarious how you can scorn cubs nation with so much malcontempt. true, there are people who go to cubs games only to drink and be shirtless, but thats not all of us. i attend these games fully clothed and with a knowledge of the players and the interworkings of the game.
you and i both know how terribly homosexual these wrist bands are, but they sold a crap ton of em for charity. seems pretty smart to me. lets just imagine if the white sox were to release a black wrist band. im sure the next person jailed for storming on the field with a knife would be adorning the new stylish bracelet.

seriously relax,
HAM

schrags,

i thought that we have gone over this. there are some things you just cant argue. baseball, politics, or religion.

no one can ever agree.

never again please.

HAM

I think the list is more like:

Cubs/Sox, Politics, Religion

Not really sure why I capitalized those,

You are an ass. Those 2 bucks that you wanted to throw in a mud puddle are going toward cancer research. Of course you rather throw money away than help someone else wouldn't you? By the way i hear that the white sox ripped off the cubs idea and are now selling their own version, as is all of MLB. Think before you bitch next time.
