Chicago Cubs: An open letter to these ‘disillusioned’ Cubs fans

Not too long ago, the Chicago Cubs climbed to the top of the baseball mountain, emerging as champions. Are fans frustrated with the organization following a World Series parade?

Well, here we are again. For those who took the time to read my satire post involving pitching machines, you might want to find something else. This one here is directed at Chicago Cubs fans.

So, we’ve been through everything together. From billy goats, black cats, Bartman, and countless other blunders and or “curses,” yet managed to survive the storm. Along the way, some fans have jumped on the bandwagon.

Which is fine. I’d like to note that this article is for those who endured the examples in the previous paragraph. If you nested when the team was winning and not sitting at the bottom of the division for multiple years, you’ve received a free pass.

Consider yourselves lucky. But not lucky enough to feel the pure and genuine joy when our boys recorded the final out of 2016’s Game 7. The number of tears and alcohol levels were through the roof that night.

Now, before we move forward, I’d like to share an article with you that was published by a respected writer for the Chicago Tribune. Pretty much an open letter for “Cubs” fans who aren’t happy with the current state of the team.

Disillusioned Chicago Cubs fans…???

In the ‘satire’ article published via the Chicago Tribune, the White Sox have everything they need to sway baseball fans who refuse to give up on the sport.

From Clark the Cub, Eloy Jimenez, Steve Stone, “D-list celebrities” conducting the stretch, not throwing back a home run ball, and the Ricketts being involved with politics; it basically has it all.

Among other bulls…I’ll stop.

First of all, there’s nothing wrong with Bonnie Hunt conducting the stretch. She’s a national treasure. Second, Pat Hughes is one, if not, the best radio play-by-play voices in the league. So, you can miss us with that hot garbage.

While the White Sox hold all this promise, they’re still unable to attract fans to their lousy ballpark, coming in at 25th in league attendance last year. Exactly 1,608,817, which I’m sure had more opposing colors in the stands than black and white.

Even when they’re labeled as the worst team in baseball, the Cubs will manage to draw more fans than their Windy City counterpart.

Get out

The fact is if you’re not feeling what Theo Epstein has on the table then you can go ahead and pack your bags. As the legendary Ray Charles once wrote, “Hit the road, Jack and don’t you come back no more, no more, no more.”

For those looking forward to weathering whatever storms may lie ahead, we love and appreciate you. That right there is family and will remain family until the end of time. This team is set and will compete despite what these wild predictions may read.

At the end of the day, the city of Chicago doesn’t belong to the White Sox. Not by a long shot. Give it another two or three years then we’ll have something to talk about.

Until then, you can continue to put L’s on the board……YES!

Mercy.
