Chicago Cubs. Been watching them since 1989. No other fan has a right to whine or gripe except Cubs fans now. But the funny thing is, unlike, say, Red Sox fans, Cubs fans just breathe a deep sigh and shake their head cuz they know how it's going to end, and that they'll be back next year with that tiny bit of hope as usual. I suppose the fervor in Red Sox Nation stems from the fact that they've always been in contention...
The Cubs just need a new GM, manager, a new everything just about. I don't care if the current people running things are good. It's just the fact that fresh variables need to be inserted into the equation, just to see if anything randomly good happens. Kind of like poking and prodding in a controlled environment in a laboratory and suddenly giving rise to life and proving evolution or something.
For the record, I don't live anywhere near Chicago. And is there such a thing as a person who lives in NYC, likes baseball, but DOESN'T like the Yankees, Mets, or I guess Red Sox? Or lives in Boston and doesn't like the Red Sox?

I think I'm gonna be sad -- I think it's today, yeah
A girl that's drivin' me mad is goin' away
Ahh she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ri - i - ide
She's got a ticket to ride -- and she don't care
