Old Style Over Substance

Good news: Because Cactus League Baseball is long done, all of those annoying fans of the Chicago Cubs went back to Wrigleyville, Rockford, Carbondale, or whatever Illinois place they came from. Bad news: The Cubbies are (groan) already returning to clash with the Arizona Diamondbacks for their annual regular-season tilt...

Good news: Because Cactus League Baseball is long done, all of those annoying fans of the Chicago Cubs went back to Wrigleyville, Rockford, Carbondale, or whatever Illinois place they came from.

We thought we had to put up with enough nonsense from Dodgers fans, but, man, the Old Style-soaked lot that will be in attendance this week is another obnoxious story. Sigh.
