How would you like to be a fuckin' Pittsburgh Pirate Fan? haven't had even a 500 season for 16 years. This team is like listening to "Cheap Trick" or "Trivium" or that(what they called) Bullet my Valentine. I remember going to the old Forbes Field here in Pittsburgh just to see players like Ernie Banks, Don Kessinger, Ron Santo and Ferguson Jenkins. Cubs will win a series at some point, even a blind squirrel can find a nut. Phillies and Rays would be a great series.

I just brought that up as an example of how similar things happen in the music scene as well.

Though, if you recall, Joacim Cans from HammerFall got a beer bottle smashed across his face in Sweden by a die-hard black metal fan, simply for being in a "power metal" band....... That was messed up!

Yeah that was a dick move towards Joacim, he had to do the music video for Hearts on Fire with those stitches still in I think.

I can't figure out the "one or the other" exclusive mindset either. The only time you ever have to choose is if they're playing each other. I'm finding myself more of a Cubs fan than a Sox fan, but I do like both. But having grown up in Cincinnati, I got used to the National League, so all other things being equal, I have to stick with the NL (i.e. no designated hitter) league team. So I lean towards the Cubs, but I've been to zero games at Wrigley and two at the Cell. And as soon as the Cubs got booted from the playoffs first, I was still pulling for the Sox to win their series.

Pfft. Try being a lifelong Cincinnati Bengals fan. Different sport, but still....

Being a Bengals fan allows me to shrug off the latest Cubs train wreck as pretty insignificant. At least they made it to the postseason!

Well, OK, I will say one thing about the Pirates, I still remember many years ago when their uniforms included those coffee-can shaped cylindrical caps. Yeesh

Absolutely nothing!
The best power pop band of ALL time.
Still an amazing live band to boot.

Cincinnati has a football team?
I must have missed that memo!

2008 has been the worst baseball season for me personally.

It needs to end.

Yeah, The Mets SHOULD have made the post-season.

Are you a Mets or Yanks fan?
