ALRIGHT, CUBS FANS!
here we go!
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
Gonna be here all game?

Ground ball up the middle,
for a base hit! Blanco scores, Riot to first! 2-1 Sox.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
Riot!
YEAH!

Speaking of MB,
What kind of reaction/reception did he get from fans today?
