So it's really not the Cubs' team and management for which I bear any measure of disdain (although I think Maddon is unbelievably overrated), it's their goofy fan base.

Yeah. Cubs fans are the worst. The dumbest and most obnoxious. White Sox fans are a much better group.
 
I've been a Yankees hater since I can remember, but honestly I don't hate this team. They built the team the right way. Of course they had money to spend on veterans so it never looked like they were rebuilding, but they held their youngstres, flipped some vets, and built a good team.

They did, but still **** the Stankees.

Am I the only one who doesn't think any specific team's fans are worse than any others?

You are a better person than I. I think the vast majority of fans for each team fall into the "great fan" category, whether casual or hard-core fans. But there are a few fan bases that are just ridiculous and, in baseball, I put the Cubs' and Red Sox' fans at the top of the list. New York fans have a swagger that is annoying, but the Cub and Red Sox fans have this tortured inferiority complex built up over many years of futility that make them almost unbearable. In football, I'm a Packers' fan (although I barely follow the game anymore), and I will be the first to admit that the Packer fan base is littered with some real nutballs.

I can't hate this Yankee team either. I agree with Chico that money plays a huge role in their success, but I've always liked Girardi and I think Cashman has done better without the late George S. meddling in the team's business.

Not sure of the Cubs hate here.

While I'm a former Chicagoan, I was a Southsider, and never adopted the Cubs as any sort of team. Still, as a Braves fan, and a fan of good taste, I'd much rather see the Cubs in the Series over the Dodgers (or winning the Series over the Yankees, for that matter).

Still holding my flame for the Astros, though.

Their fanbase and all the band wagoners that come with them are the worst.

Simon says "Go 'stros!"
 
If I'm the Stro's, he has the shortest of leashes. I'd empty out my entire BP if needed. I even wouldn't hesitate to have Keuchel come in as a quick LOOGY either.
 
How is it possible that Verlander was able to pitch like that last night. Don't The Twins frequently insist that north of 30 is immediate downward trend? Then McCann should be washed up too.
