A Little Cub Bashing

Chris Sabo's Goggles on a bet with the Cubs site Ivy Envy (h/t J-Bird):
One of the best parts about being a fan of the Cincinnati Reds is that we get to make fun of the Chicago Cubs.
As American’s, we’re all entitled to make fun of the Cubbies (I believe it’s why John Hancock was in such a hurry to sign the Declaration of Independence), but it’s just more fun when you’re a Reds fan.
No matter how bad our respective seasons are going (and let’s be honest, both teams have had their fair share of issues), the one solace I was able to find in those lean years was when the Reds faced — and usually beat — the stupid Cubbies.
That’s why at the beginning of the 2010 season I made a bet with the friendly gentlemen at Ivy Envy about who would win more games in the the Reds/Cubs series.
Note: I picked the Reds.
For those of you keeping track at home, the Reds went an astonishing 12-4 against the Cubbies in 2010. Even the most delusional Cubs fan has to admit that’s a dominating victory.
But for every victor there must be a loser. In this case — and in most cases since 1908 — that loser is a Cubs fan.
