Seriously, how can I NOT hate Chicago?


When their premiere sports columnists ROUTINELY write stuff like this!  I shortened it to the three most offensive paragraphs, but this is typical Chicago writing.

These guys think that just because they got a cloud of smog hanging over their city they're superior to us for some reason!  (I have to admit though, the pot shots were clever today, I did laugh out loud a couple times biggrin.gif)

No hatred brewing here
Team 90 miles north is tough obstacle for Cubs, but it's still hard to dislike NL Central leaders or ho-hum city of Milwaukee


July 1, 2007

So, tell me, how is Cubdom supposed to hold a mean grudge against a team that gives free rectal exams to fans and employs Harry Doyle from ''Major League'' as a broadcaster? Such is the quirky dilemma of chasing the first-place Brewers, who hail from Milwaukee, which basically is Dubuque with running water, a Friday Fish Fry and a couple of more bulldozers.


How can anyone in Chicago possibly hate anything related to Milwaukee, even a ballclub that reassumed a 7½-game lead Saturday after a 13-4 butt-whipping of the Cubs? It's one thing for a cosmopolitan metropolis to carry a lifelong chip about the Green Bay Packers, a legitimate blood feud. But the Brewers? A club that hasn't reached the playoffs since Laverne and Shirley were going bowling with Lenny and Squiggy? A team that hasn't had a winning season since Bud Selig was a mere owner? A city that just drafted a Chinese basketball star, Yi Jianlian, who might refuse to play there because his handlers are afraid their mass-marketed phenom will be lost amid the Cheeseheads and sausage stands?

Imagine if Bob Uecker, in our listening range on WTMJ-AM (620), actually gets to do his Harry Doyle act in real life this October. That would be fun, such a hoot that I find it impossible to feel any venom toward the Brewers or Milwaukee, bread crumb of a town that it is.
