Another reason for me not to like Obama. I am a lifelong Cubs fan, born and raised on the NORTH side of the city. And I am a SERIES baseball fan!

I would like to start up a CUBS PING LIST here on FR. How many of you would like to be on it? This will become all the more important when our Cubbies head into October and WIN IT ALL! The Cubs win the World Series in EVERY year that ends in '08! RECREATE '08! 1908! So let me know if you want on a Cubs Ping List.

GO CUBS GO!

I'm a Chicago guy, so I'm thinking Walter Payton. ‘Sweetness.’ That guy had durability -- he could block as well as run.

He's a Chicago guy. Is he aware that Walter died about 8 years ago? Or does he get to pick dead guys to be VP now?

[Colonel_Flagg]

Go Twins.

Obama joked about the stereotype of Cubs fans, who probably are tired of being described as partying people-watchers instead of serious baseball fans.

What is this with Obama and his habit of stereo-typing people? This is a pattern with him. He needs to be called out on it. It reveals his bigotry.

B.O., as in BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Barack Obama is not shy about his allegiance to the White Sox.

[Eepsy]

I shoulda known da bum was a Sox fan....

[mojito]

Barack Obama, just a regular Whole-Foods-shopping, arugula-munching White Soxs fan.

[reg45]

Obama i from Hawaii. I figured he’d be a fan of the Honolulu Goathumpers.

[GRRRRR]

NOBama
NOBiden
NOSOX

Up Yours Obama!!

I’ll be sure to post his comment on the ChiTrib CUBS Board tonight after we whip the Bucs!

[Plutarch]

White Sox, that's baseball. Southside.

Three words: Disco Demolition Night .

[Senator Goldwater]

The North side will still go for Obama, although if any of them needed another reason to oppose him, this ought to do.

Wow - hard to believe I totally agree with Obama on something. This has to be a first. Its a well known fact in the Windy City. If you want to sit in the sun, have a beer and soak up the “atmosphere”, you go to the north side. If you are a serious baseball fan, you head south. I don’t care if they end up 162-0 cubs fans. When October rolls around - THEY ARE STILL THE CUBS !!! - and you know exactly what I am talking about. And at the end of it all, the cubs sheep will blame a fan, or a farm animal or some other entity instead of facing the harsh truth that they are and always will be loser baseball team.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Looks like the Obama campaign is coming unglued.. so many gaffs in one day.
It's called ( foot hoof in the mouth disease ).

[SaveTheChief]

Another dumb comment from another typical Sox fan. If he is so serious about his team, then why does he even need to mention the Cubs or their fans?

[SJackson]

Love to be on it, it would be fun.

[colorado tanker]

The Cubs are having a great year and you’re a serious fan, but I gotta say this has been my general observation of both crowds.

[stormer]

For God's sake, don't tell Lou!

For God's sake, don't tell Lou!

Sign me up! Been a Cubs fan since the early 1970's -- raised a family of Cubs, Bears and Bulls fans. "You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there," Obama said, according to transcripts released by ESPN. "People aren't watching the game. It's not serious. White Sox, that's baseball."

We went to one game at the old Comisky Stadium to see a good White Sox team (1979 pennant winners, as I recall). If you were over 10 and male at that awful place, you were smoking, drinking, swearing and getting into fights.

I'd rather have my baseball served up in Wrigleyville. Another reason to detest the lightweight Senator Obama.

[Velveeta]

News flash, Obambi - Sweetness is dead. Another brilliant VP pick there, Einstein.

Cubs fans - fair weather?!? Hardly. Every day Obambi says something which proves what a total nutcase he is. Sheesh.

Please add me to a Cubbies ping list!!!
