Cubs’ World Championship Would Be Forever Tarnished If Successful Individual Is Hired

A signature hallmark of the Annoying Fan is picky-ness with regard to winning. Gary Karton of the Chicago Sun-Times wants the Cubs to win a World Series, but not if they hire Theo Epstein to help them do it.

↵↵So if you want Theo Epstein to make it to the Hall of Fame, go for it. As for me, I’m rooting to get my team back. The one that has players who play their butts off, and fans who appreciate them for it.

↵↵Like a world championship is a wedding or something. The floral arrangements must feature azelias! Double-breasted suits for the groomsmen! The vows must be poems! Meanwhile, the Royals would be content to request a marriage certificate at the courthouse and swing by the Fazoli’s drive-thru on the way home. You know, most people wait until they are actually spoiled to act spoiled.
