Are Cubs Fans Racist?

So, Bradley/Dusty/Sosa/Pierre/Jaque/Patterson, Cubs fans are racist, huh? In that case I'm sure DLee received resounding boos, racial taunts and batteries flung his way when he "returned" to Wrigley to start for his new team. Since I don't watch the Cubs anymore, let's go to the tape, via Cubs.com.

Okay, so you're actually going to have to click on the link, you lazy fuck.

Wait, was that just a 30 second long, standing ovation for a black man? Maybe it's not the color of your skin. Maybe it's that Cubs fans don't like cry-baby player/managers that don't try, complain all the time, run our pitchers into the ground or are just plain untalented. Maybe...

Nah, I mean that's nothing compared to the cheers that Todd Hundley and Michael Barrett got when they came back to play their former team.

The Cubbies: Treehouse of Horror


Jim Hendry: [Marlin's GM, Frank Wren agrees to trade for Derrek Lee] Take this first baseman, but beware it carries a terrible curse!
Wren: Ooh, that's bad.
Hendry: But it comes with $3.3 million.
Wren: That's good.
Hendry: The money is also cursed.
Wren: That's bad.
Hendry: But you get a gold glove to replace Troy Glaus at first.
Wren: That's good!
Hendry: The glove contains potassium benzoate.
[Wren looks puzzled]
Hendry: ...That's bad.
Wren: Can I go now?

Sorry for the lame post, how long till football and hockey season?
