The Cubs are losing, and we Chicago fans are supposed to be surprised?
Chicago isn't watered down. We won the World Series a few years ago, we were in the Super Bowl a few years ago, the Bulls make to the playoffs quite often, the Blackhawks are doing well. Hey, we're not Boston, but we're doing better than most other cities.
The Cubs aren't losers, they're just in a 100 year slump.
