"The Lovable losers"


            
             When someone asks you what is your favorite thing to do, what is your response? Well mine is simple I love to go see the cubs play. Ever since I have been a little kid I have been going to cub's games and seeing the oldest franchise in professional baseball play, usually losing but that's really not what's important to cub's fans. I know that might sound ridiculous but its not about winning when you the longest losing streak in professional sports. There are three things that are truly important to cubs fans, first being Wrigley field, next would be The Fans and most important, the alcohol. I mean how do you except fans to accept losing so well, it's because they usually don't remember who we played, let alone who won. If you have ever had the pleasure of attending a cub's game then this would all make perfect sense to you!.
