Ouch - that's low.

I'll just have to remember that come the postseason, when my team is still playing.

That's certainly a possibility.

Ah, the irony. You do realize "Wrigleyville" is the heart of Chicago's Boy's Town gay district, don't you?

There is probably not a gay-er fan base in sports, unless you count the WNBA. Which is probably why they thought it would be a good idea to run an ad like this-

Somehow, I don't see Konerko doing the whole black leather vest look.

Oh yeah, and BTW-

There's no way the cubs are doing sh*t this year with that pitching staff and the worst defense in the majors. Soriano in center field? LMFAO!

I wouldn't expect them to "do sh*t". It's a rebuilding year.

I didn't realize teams normally spend $300 million on free agents in a rebuilding year. Seems more like a sh*t-your-pants year to me. But then again, I don't have a master mind like they've got up in Boy's Town.

Um...spending money to overhaul your roster...sounds like rebuilding to me.
