These are the bandwagon fans who support this stuff, they aren't the "real" fans. Yet every Cub fan I come across in my daily life is a "real" Cub fan. Who to believe...hmm...

 

That's what they want you to believe........

 

 

 

(there's no such thing as a REAL cubs fan. As if........)

I'm glad you understood my post, I read it back and realized it didn't make sense at all. haha

 

I meant...I hear from so many Cub fans that "those" fans are just the bandwagon fans. Yet I'll talk baseball with them and I get the same stuff. Mispronouncing their own players names, saying it's all about the "Wrigley experience", actually believing it's the best park in baseball, etc. So they end up being just another bandwagon fan. I'm wondering, where are all these "real" fans?!

My cousin, my best friend at work, two of my nephews, my goalie from back in my hockey days....

I have great baseball discussions with all of them all the time, and they are all die-hard Cub fans. Not only do they know the names of current Cubs, they know Cub history (not much HAPPY history, but it is history) and they know a LOT about baseball in general.

The Bleacher Creatures ARE the vocal, stupid, glorified stereotype, and real Cub fans are embarrassed to be associated with them. No one I know will sit in the bleachers anymore, because that's where most of the stupid behavior takes place.

I think we've all met real Cub fans here and there. Let's be honest, there aren't that many. Off the top of my head I can think of only a few--and I'm not BSing you. Even my own mother is "one of those" Cub fans. My grandpa as well. It's pretty sad actually.
