john.cronin@oit.gatech.edu verily spake, saying:

+ Hey, at least we are not as psycho as the cubs fans 

HEY!! Don't mess with the World Champions from 1908!!!  I don't care
if radio was invented after then, and Haley's comet has passed twice,
they're still the best team... EVER.  Have you ever been to a Cubs game
in Wrigley Field, eating a Bratwurst and a Malt, listening to Harry Caray
(rest his soul (and liver))?  Watching the guys in the scoreboard move around
the metal plates that keep track of our score, and that of other games?  That 
is what Baseball is meant to be.  

<Sigh>  I watch these people who ``LOVE'' the Braves or the Cowboys or the 
Falcons when they are a winning team, and then pick some other team as their
favourite when they start losing.  Real fans are Cubs fans.  Real fans are
Packers fans from the 1980s.  Real fans are those people who cheer on their
team because it is *THEIR TEAM,* not because they like to cheer for the 
winner.

I have no respect for fair-weather fans.
