Growing up in St. Louis, naturally I've been in awe of the Chicago Cubs. As the Cardinals kept winning World Series Champion title after title, I got bored and it was very unfulfilling to root for the winner all the time. I began to realize all the reasons the Cubs are better than the Cardinals.
1. The Cubs are in Chicago.
Between the great weather and appearance, I'd say the Cubs have us beat in that department.
2. The Cubs have the best fans in the world.
They're loyal and very devoted. It's not easy cheering for the losers all the time!
3. The Cubs beat the Cardinals in the NLDS playoffs last year.
And almost won the World Series, if the New York Mets hadn't swept them in the series.
4. The Cubs are so close to shaking the "lovable losers" tag.
It's only been a little over a century since their last win. They're definitely due. I sure hope to be alive if that next win happens!
5. The Cubs have won both of their World Series Champions titles back to back,
and the Cardinals can't say the same ... it's quality not quantity anyway right?
6. Wrigley vs. Busch. Enough said.
7. The Cubs have their own club.
8. ... and their own encouraging slogan that has been set in place since 1908!
9. ... AND their own official soft drink.
10. Being bagged on as much as they do, at least the Cubs have a sense of humor about it.
So go Cubbies. Go get 'em.
