Adopt the Cubs avatar week!
We think we've had it hard in the Dem party being out of power. How do you think the Cubbies fans feel?

I'm dropping my usual avatar in favor of my Chicago-brethren who never stopped believing.

1. I might consider that...
If somehow the Red Sox are eliminated.

3. I knew pretty well what the Cubbies' fans feel
I share their pain. :)

I would like nothing more than a Sox-Cubs World Series. I am holding my breath. If the Sox aren't there then I'm all for a Cubs victory!

7. Sure, why not?
I'd love to see the Cubs or Red Sox win. The Cubs, because all my favorite sports teams are from Chicago...and the Sox because we could all be spared (for a little while, anyway) of their "We're so put upon being a $100-million-plus-juggernaut that likes to pretend we're the little guy fighting against the Yankees" act they've been peddling for centuries.

8. I got mine!

Go Cubs!

Edited to add: I've been a Cubs fan my whole life even though I grew up in the schizophrenic area of central Illinois (lots of Cards' fans there because we were so close to St. Louis). My mom was the Cubs # 1 fan!

It hasn't jinxed them yet, so I think I'll keep it for a while.

15. sorry
I'm tired of the South Side of Chicago being "out of power".

I'm not rooting for the bosses on the north side.

21. Well...
Technically the Cubs could win. The Red Sox can't because of the Curse of the Bambino, the fundamental premise on which all reality is based.
