Why do women say 'My Cubs' and 'My Packers'
'n' stuff? :shrug:

If a guy puts "my" in front of his team, said guy gets some pretty curious looks from the other guys.

6. Well...because that's just the way it is
And there are just some things that shouldn't be questioned. Ever.

They Are 'my Cubbies'...and their starting catcher is 'my Barrett', too.

In a fit of frustration a few years ago, my family gave them to me. I took them gladly and I didn't give them back...even when everything fell apart after the infamous Bartman incident.

Thick and thin.

9. Bartman?
He's layin' low. No one's sat in that seat since then, though. At least I don't think anyone has.

He oughta come back out, though. He didn't do anything anyone else wouldn't have done. And he didn't even wind up with the ball.

10. I'd argue that
The "didn't do anything anyone else wouldn't have done" part.

But it was ages ago. Let it rest.

12. Well, obviously you wouldn't...
And I wouldn't...but most people...

And yup. It was years ago. The ball's been blown to bits. Leave it at that...
