Cubs fans are hooligans.

by Joe Doyle on July 30, 2008

It’s true.

Most of you punks will point me to William Legue Jr, the SOX fan who (along with his son) charged after a first base coach and beat him deaf on the field. I concede - that was one nasty deed.

But two days ago we read about a coupla Polock Cub fans who beat a SOX fan blind. And then today we read about three alcohol-fueled 20-somethings who take it up with a cheesehead.

Both stories involve multiple Cubs fans and one victim. You Cubs fans are so tough. Next thing you know you’ll probably blow something up and then run into hiding, like your No.1 fan here.

I’d waive my W flag…

by Joe Doyle on June 29, 2008

but Sox fans don’t do that crap.

We don’t throw balls back on the field.
We don’t become fans at age 22 when we move to the neighborhood.
We don’t go to watch our team fall apart in a falling-apart rat trap.
And we don’t know what a curse it.

But apparently this weekend we did know how to “cheer you on to victory” (as the best theme song in the city states).

Will this series send the Cubs into a downward death spiral? Will it become the “Sox Sweep” curse of 2008?

I doubt it - the cute, cuddly cubby bears are half good (unfortunately). But, we’ve all been here before:

Nice sweep, White Sox. Stay hot.

There are two of you, but only one day. One day in which you both celebrate a year life and love.

The yard is mowed. The cakes are baked. The food is prepped and the kiddie pool has water. Beer is going on ice soon and Kelly and I made Grandma Doyle’s potato salad to go along with tasty chicken sammichs. Lots of family and close friends coming by to celebrate – film at 11.

Some of our friends have big news, too:
Happy Anniversary to the expectant couple. 12 Years - oy vey! Very nice Chris and Kim.

And congrats to Matt Soble and Amy Ferranti on the birth of their son, Rylan David Soble. Everyone is healthy, and the newest SOX fan was born at 7lbs, 7oz and 20″ long. All those 7s - must be good luck!
