They’ve arguably been the best team in baseball this season. Their fans haven’t seen them win a world series since 1908. In many ways, they’re a little like the Red Sox were until 2004, when we finally broke the hoodoo that had hovered over Fenway for 86 years.
And yet, when they reached the Play-offs, they choked yet again - getting thumped 0-3 in a best of five series by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Anyone with an iota of sympathy had to feel for them.
One thread on one internet forum changed all that.
Read this. And note that at the start of the season they were treating Japanese import Kosuke Fukudome like a hero.

Sure, it may be just one set of fans in one corner of the internet, but my instinct having read reports elsewhere is that this isn’t just an idiot minority.
I’m suddenly glad that the Dodgers handed you your collective ass, Cubbies.

Any chance it was a White Sox fan working at the airport? Just a possibility.
UPDATE MORE. My job is not very demanding.
