]]> <![CDATA[Marty Brennaman Is Unlikely To Receive A Statue Outside Wrigley Field]]> Of course, there are some pretty good reasons to like the Cubs too, mainly daytime weekday baseball on WGN.

Also, Marty's rants are the only reason people listen to the Reds on radio. That was an awful game that he saved with that little tirade.

Matt Saracen

]]> <![CDATA[Marty Brennaman Is Unlikely To Receive A Statue Outside Wrigley Field]]> Here's the thing, though: I promise you that we legitimate Cubs fans hate the drunk louts in the bleachers who throw stuff onto the field far more than fans of any other team do. Mostly because those are the "fans" that have all the visibility, which makes the rest of us look bad.

Windier E. Megatons

]]> <![CDATA[Marty Brennaman Is Unlikely To Receive A Statue Outside Wrigley Field]]> The problem is, you go into Wrigley Field and the World Series wins from 1907 & 1908 are gone, and they're not coming back, and no one has been able to do anything to help bring them back. So Cubs fans are bitter, and they cling to things like beer, and "traditions" and anti-visiting team sentiment and "let's play two" and "wait 'til next year" and ignoring the game on the field as a way to deal with their frustrations.

"In all honesty," Marty is a big fish in a small pond and remember, the Reds were down 8 when he talked about us OB-noxious fans.

He likely doesn't like how Cubs fans fill his home ballpark when they come down there.

That said, I hate how much the Cubs and their fans are turning into the Red Sox (yes, I know, without the winning the World Series).
