I hate them because 2 years ago in playoffs their fans were rude and mocked by Braves' tomahawk chant. I hate that disrespectfull attitude. |
Disrespect and Cubs fans go hand in hand. There are a lot of good Cubbie fans out there, but they seem to have so many more morons than any aother team. Who can forget the moment last year when the Cubs trolls were praying for hurricanes to cancel their series against the Marlins just to allow their players some rest days? Seems justice to me that their team is stinking it up right now! |

i cant stand kerry wood (most over rated pitcher in the league) ... its ashame what that organization has become after they had quality players like ryne sandburg and mark grace.

well i disagree .. i think kerry wood has some good stuff, and his slider and curveball was starting to look real good, before he got hurt (once again .. :rolleyes: ) .. but a healthy wood is a dangerous guy .. he needs to cool down on his velocity a bit, and stop depending on the fastball on every pitch, and then he won't get hurt ..
the guy who is overrated is mark prior .. he doesn't have any type of stuff other than the fastball .. he probably would make a better closer, than starter .. remember .. iggy from st louis was a starter with the mets, before he blew out his arm .. he figured he didn't want to do that again, so he became a closer, and look at him now ..
and yes .. the cubs were awesome back then with a young maddux, sandburg, and grace . |

trust me, that tomahawk chant gets mocked everywhere :D
one game I went to in 2000, after the mets scored 10 runs in the bottom of the 8th against the braves to come back from a 8-1 deficit, the next inning, just about every fan was doing a mock tomahawk chop with their arms, sticking out their finger and singing to the tune of the chop:
"FUCCCCCCCCK THE BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVES, FUCCCCCCCCK THE BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVES" |
Well, I remember that, and frankly I am not a fan of Mets either. I undderstand there are always some fans at any stadium who dislike an opposing team. However, when THOUSANDS of fans are involved in such 'mocking' and hate activities, its more than that. In all the years I've been Braves fan, I havent seen any illicit behaviour by my fans ... only maybe some excessive 'GO BRAVES GO' 'BRAVES RULE' screams and cheers. |

To tell you the truth until a couple years ago the team I hated the most were the Braves, I even hated them before the Marlins appeared.Plus I hate any team that does that gay Tomahawk chop , its annoying as hell, and especially when FSU does it with that god awful band . Yuck. you all.
But then the Cubs came along, god they suck.Their players, fans,manager, front office, all suck.
O Steve Bartman touched the ball(while a couple other dumb cubs fans were also reaching for the ball)its his fault, not the teams fault for giving up so many runs after it.I have a problem with any team that blames a loss on a curse.
my hated teams in MLB
Cubs
Braves
Red Sox
Yankees
Mets (a little)
what I love though is that the Marlins have ruined the seasons for the yankees, Cubs (in 1 year haha) and Braves , before , so I take some satisfaction in that.
And I hope my other fave team Cardinals keep it up this year. |

Man, you are so harsh. To tell you the truth, I think that Tomahawk chant and band is not the kind of music I like to hear, yes its very cheesy and all. I got used to it. I like because it makes my team unique and recognizable. Just like the rally monkey I guess. To me it seems like you hate the teams that are doing well or are having strong fanbase. My team doesnt have A curse. Oh, and I didnt list all the teams that I hate and why, cause I generally take it easy, and even the Cubbies - I just dont like them, but I dont get angry or frustrated when they win or have success (against my team). Its ONLY a game. |
