Every April my schadenfreude gets up, though I didn’t know it until last week (thanks, Mark).
And this year – with the north siders embarking on the joyously momentous milestone of 100 years without a WS win and owning the dubious title of team with the longest drought in the history of all American sport franchises – my scadenfreude is tingling.
Shadenfreude is the satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else’s misfortune. Like, if the Sox lose and the Cubs do, too, it’s OK because at least those jerks up north are pissed off. It’s a good day when the Cubs lose, better if the Sox win. That sort of thing.
But some people don’t get it – they want the fans to all get along. But why sit on the fence? I don’t ask Tampa Fans to root for the Marlins. Or Rangers fans to root for the Astros.
All I ask is that the Cubs lose, so maybe this guy will stop singing that stupid “hey hey holy mackarel” song into my voice mail.
Because he really doesn’t sing that well, and I hate that freakin’ song.
GO SOX!
hey hey holy mackarel … no doubt about it the cubs are on their way!
