A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
I don’t want to come off as the type of person who tells people how to raise your kids or how to be a parent; but I feel, as a victim of what I’m about to discuss, that I need to speak out. Please, whatever you do, do not raise your child as a Chicago Cubs fan.
Tyler Juranovich doesn’t really care what Theo Epstein did with Boston. He doesn’t care to hear about his success stories, and he doesn’t care about his failures. All he cares about is seeing his Chicago Cubs team start winning and becoming a serious threat in the MLB.
Apropos of absolutely nothing, I present to you the following animated GIF of a Cubs fan destroying a fellow fan’s beer in spectacular fashion.
On this episode of the Away From the Action Podcast, hosted by Josh Tinley, Josh talks his good friend, Cubs fan and statistician Dennis Goodman, about Catching Hell (ESPN’s new documentary about the Steve Bartman incident), Moneyball, statistics, the Colts, the Evansville Purple Aces, and much more.

According to Tyler Juranovich, Carlos Zambrano spoke nothing but truth yesterday when he called the Cubs “embarrassing’ after being swept by the St. Louis Cardinals.
