I suck at giving titles to anything except people I dislike

Because baseball season is thankfully drawing to a close, and the Bears are kicking ass and taking the names of the opposing teams' wives/girlfriends for ultimate humiliation, I thought I'd delve into why the Bears are so good and the Cubs are so utterly, utterly pitiful.

Reading chicagosports.com this morning, I noticed this article about the Bears having improvements to make. I'm thinking, well, this is news to me, I thought the Bears sufficiently desetroyed their competition in the first two weeks.

The article stated that the Bears defense was really disappointed that they gave up 7 points. I was disappointed, mainly because everyone thinks the Ravens are the best team in the NFL (which they obviously are not, they've played one shitty team (the Bucs) and one team who I can only assume is worse than about 100 college football teams (the Raiders). But I was grateful for a dominating win, and at least it was just 7 points and not, dare I say, 10.

This team is a team of perfectionists. They are striving for the Super Bowl, they demand respect, and they're out to prove they're the best every single game. Winning isn't enough. How fucking great is that attitude?

In case you don't know how much I love the Cubs and currently hate them, I love the Cubs, yet I currently hate them. Why can't a shitty coach on the North side of Chicago adopt this kind of philosphy, the type of killer instinct into a baseball team? I know it's kind of hard to translate the football mentality into baseball terms since you're not beating someone's ass on every play, but the attitude is basically the same. We're the best, and if we don't play like it, we're fucking pissed.

Instead, Ol' Double Switch would rather just shrug his shoulders, tip his hat to the other team, and wait for the impending contract expiration while he robs every player of all confidence and physical ability they had before he arrived.
