Wherever Cubnation goes, they take over. Wrigleyville north in Milwaukee, Wrigleyville west in Arizona, Wrigleyville south in Florida, and Wrigleyville east in D.C. Most verbiage categorizes the growing popularity of Cubnation to WGN. The fact is GN has televised less than 20% of the Cub games for the last several years.
Cubnation exists, is a fact and is very intimidating to the "home" team. So it was D-Lee, who revealed that Messiah is said to have added to the myth that Cubs fans only come to Wrigley to drink beer and look at women. According to the Ring Lardner of Politics, Cubs fans don't really know anything about baseball. Messiah claims that real ball fans are at Comisky.
First and foremost, if this flap gets any traction, he sure to lose some votes. Second, a completely asinine thing to say as the Cubs are having a great season. Simple fan attendance extrapolation shows that when a team wins it draws more fans. Hardcore fans can only be counted to show up for loser, shitbag teams with nothing to offer ie. Reds, Pirates. Pre 2005 Sox attendance was horrible, when they started to win they doubled their fan base. Are these real fans or bandwagon types. When the Sox lose again, their attendance will drop.
Win or lose Cubs attendance is always high. They are all real fans, who spend real money to watch the Cubs and really hot women. Another contrary indicator is road game Cubnation. They aren't coming to Wrigley, yet they still come like no other team has ever seen. Perhaps Messiah should stick to preaching-though I GUARANTEE he'll be at Wrigley throwing out a ball at the World Series.

Real fans / straight off the streets of Des Moines
Say - isn't the first game of this years World Series @ Comisky Park? I remember some reason I watched the All Star game. Oh, no, it was to watch carlos Quienton bat.
Much like when i get back from mexico or Europe or whatever, I like to think back on my days, lookm on my tourist foto's etc...
When 80% of the Cubs fan base gets back to whereever the tourists come from - this cub fan relates that the people of Milwaukee, Arizona, DC and Florida are flush w/ typical tourists - of course they will want to relive their time in the Big city - Millinium Park, the lake front, baseball, one of those clop clop rides from the horse around Water Tower Place - you know, typical tourist things.
Hey - those from Iowa gotta get their kicks somehow. But then it's back downstate to the cows.
Yr right. Iowa is an important swing state. I'd better shill towards the cub fans or their home state will go Republican.
I....I.... I...... I'm a Cub fan, Iowans!!!! I'm not lying. Really!! I'm so die hard, just like you. Remember all those 1970's games, when 3,000 fans were in the stands? When I'm president, all of this records will be vacated!! All those decades (READ IT NOW CUBS FANS - THE OPERATIVE WORD HERE IS DECADES) that the Sox had better attendence than the Cubs - you know, like the ENTIRE 1950's and 1960's - will be obliterated.
Oh - and when Cub fans like I are finished w/ the history books, we will have won in Vietnam, Iraq will be Cubbie Blue, Harry Carrey was never a Southside Icon that we always made fun of (WE NEVER MOCKED HARREY CARRY BECAUSE HE WAS ALWAY A CUB FAN - why else would we have ever put up a statue of somebody who people claim was a WHITE SOX announcer?), and.......uh....something about central America.
the first game of the series is indeed in comisky, but victory will be hailed with the hottest, topless women the sporting world at wrigley!!
have you actually, honestly looked a sox crowd lately. They are mostly from the extinct mill towns of white trash nw indiana. People like Mac, Jurko, and Harry. Then throw in some pliant minorities from the city.
i mill amongst the crowds of comisky seeimgly @ will... and i like what i see.....
