"I don't like the Cubs."
- Thread starter ianoconnor
- Start date
I am a Cub fan, and I don't have any problem with what he said. Kind of refreshing in a way. Unfortunately, free agency and player's unions have dulled some of the competitive edge in the game, today. As a result, I am far less interested in baseball now than I used to be. I hate it when Derrek Lee, for example, is yucking it up with Albert Pujols. These guys should have a deep seeded hatred for one another, and even if they don't they should be aware of the city they play for and the fans they represent. Be "buddy-buddy" on your own time. This is the way divisional rivalries should be.
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if this is all taken out of context. It is highly possible Joey Votto's comments are a little tongue-in-cheek, but that doesn't come through in writing.

Any NL player hoping to play in the World Series this year should be patting Byrd on the back for taking that walk with 2 outs. Had he not done that McCann would not have hit the 3 run double that won the game and the AL might have gone home with home field advantage once again.
Byrd is one of the few guys I can't blame the Cubs problems on this season. He's been the anti-Milton Bradley and hustles more than any guy on the team.

I blame these two.
Look at Worthy. He's like "Jeez, not this **** again." :biglaugh:
I will take the Red Sox,Yankees(I hate to say it), or Rays against any National League team right now in the World Series. There isn't a team in the National League that excites me at all.
Didn't you know?

I agree but again home field advantage in the World Series is something you want regardless. Getting those first 2 games at home can be pretty important and in a 7 game series doesn't hurt to get 4 of them on your own turf and get the last at bat.
