It’s not fun for these mouthbreathers to chant “Let’s go, Cubbies” in Chicago, because everyone else is doing it. But it’s edgy and cool to do it at someone else’s ballpark, where you can make the family next to you cringe.
It was an amazing bit of Chicagenfreude Saturday, watching them celebrate prematurely after the Cubs scored in the top of the 10th, fist-bumping and congratulating one another; only to have all 20,000 of them go silent when Shaw hit the game-winner in the bottom of the inning. That almost–almost–made up for all the Northside BS I’ve had to put up with over the years.
