I never thought I'd have to write negatively about Cubs fans on this blog, but some Cubs fans suck!
I'm a die-hard Cub fan, so that's hard for me to say, but apparently winning is either too much for some fans to handle, or such foreign territory that they don't know how to act.
In two separate actions of idiocy, a group of three Cubs fans ganged up on a fan of another team and beat the snot out of him.
Some playful bantering with a White Sox fan at a kid's birthday party earlier this month resulted in the Sox fan losing his eye after three buddies had had enough talk and decided to start engaging in fisticuffs.
Then, just this past week, when the Cubs were busy sweeping the Brewers in Milwaukee, a drunk Brewer fan threw a bag of garbage at a bus full of Cubs fans; so naturally three of the fans got off the bus, chased him down and beat him so severely that he required surgery.
I know that as a Cub fan you are part of a very large fraternity, but you don't have to act like you're actually in a fraternity and beat up on people when you are drunk and outnumber your opponent.
The next couple of months can be a great ride, as the Cubs try to make it back to the World Series for the first time in 63 years -- I just hope it's not ruined by more stories of moronic, drunken Cub fans taking out their years of frustration on unsuspecting fans of other teams.

Wait until Mary Brenneman gets his hands on these stories.
RoadRage, before you try to place yourself in the same band of idiots who performed these acts, keep in mind two things: Indiana and buses. These were done be people from Indiana and bus riders, all of whom were most likely over-served.
Remember when the moron took the hat off the Dodgers pitcher in the bullpen at Wrigley, resulting in a mob in that section? That wasn't a Cubs fan, but rather a spoiled rich kid who was sitting in Tribune seats and was arrested soon thereafter at the Taco Bell near the park for trying to order food at the drive-thru when he was not in a car and drunk. I was embarrassed as a Cubs fan for his actions at first, but then I realized I have absolutely no connection to people like him.
Don't use that broad brush to paint yourself into a corner with those who obviously don't share your moral views.
