What is a Chicago fan to do?
The end of the 2012 Major League Baseball regular season was less than satisfying for Chicago baseball fans. Supporters of the Cubbies suffered all season long through a nasty rebuilding year, watching their team lose more than 100 games. White Sox fans, on the other hand, were pleasantly surprised to see the Sox put together a good season, only to have everything fall apart at the end as the hot bats seemed to almost completely disappear.
The playoffs have left some unsavory realities. Detroit, the talented team that played listlessly for much of the season but played well at the end and passed the White Sox, has already secured a spot in the World Series. In the National League, the Cardinals have a 3-2 game advantage over the Giants. The Giants are a somewhat foreign team to Chicago fans, but the Cards are, of course, the big rival of the Cubs.
I live in an area that has a majority of baseball fans wearing the red and white of the Cardinals. The team is a good team with great fans, almost always run in a professional fashion by team ownership. Therefore, there is only one team to root for:

Bears... suck.
White Sox... suck.
Cubs... suck.
Bulls... suck.
Black Hawks... suck.
That is all.
Detroit will be getting retribution on the Cardinals for what transpired in 2006. Count on it.
Here's hoping the bears win this week.
Cards look like goners all of a sudden.
Ohhhh ... Lucki Duck attempts to get some revenge (see http://smallpotatospoker.blogspot.com/2012/10/lighting-strikes-duck.html).Unfortunately for him, my non-Texan readers tend to be very sports savvy and know ..
Bears -- Currently third best record in the NFL.
White Sox -- Just missed making it into 2012 playoffs due to a late-season swoon. Nobody expected the Sox to lead their division most of the year. Good showing, gents.
Cubs -- Sucks is too kind of a word
Bulls -- Hurting due to devestating injury of team superstar. Look form the Bulls to come back 2013-2014
Blackhawks -- IF the NHL plays, they are a legitimate Cup contender
Everything is bigger in Texas. I guess when a Texan makes an error in evaluating Chicago teams, he makes sure his error is biiiig.
Yes -- I feel better now. : o )
As a Cubs fan we have two days in the MLB season we care about: opening day (when there is still hope for the Cubs) and the day the Cardinals are eliminated from contention. I'm hoping I get to celebrate the second day tonight. Screw the Cardinals and all of their smug fans (except Mojo...he's cool). Go SF Giants!
