Loading ...My son is six weeks old. My wife is from Chicago, so ours is a house divided. That fact, magnified by two sets of overzealous grandparents, means that he’s already equipped with has the full compliment of both Reds and Cubs gear. I was looking in my son’s room tonight and saw this:
We’re going to the Reds vs. Cubs game on September 7, and tonight, for the first time, I thought, “To heck with it – let him wear the Cubs stuff.”
I’m really, really, really sick of this team and its pathetic, disinterested baseball.
I don’t know about letting him wear Cubs stuff — that may be going a little far — but I’m with you on the Reds. It’s getting extremely difficult to watch the same junk every night.
Let him wear White Sox gear or something anything but the Cubs!!
I find myself watching/listening to less and less of the games. I mean I still pay attention and I still get excited when things go good. I still get po’d when things go bad and it puts me in a bad mood. I say I’m done caring but I still end up doing it. I feel like the ultimate sucker.
I am in the same situation, my family is split. My dad and I are Reds fans, my mom and sister are Cards fans, and my brother is the black sheep Cub fan.
My mom bought my newborn cards stuff, i told my wife to use it as a burp rag.
I feel like Statler & Hilton on The Muppets where they sang at the start of the program, “Why do we always come here? I guess we’ll never know. It’s like a kind of torture to have to watch this show.”
My son-in-law is a Cubs fan. I used to tell him that it is child abuse to cause my grand daughter and grand son to grow up Cubs fans. But I have nothing to say anymore, thanks to this team.
I think the cure for this may be Dusty Baker diapers. His face shows up on the outside to let you know when the diapers is full. It’s sure to make any Reds fan feel better.
