Where are Cubs fans now?
Must be something wrong with the phones in the Daily News' new offices. The past few days, I was getting calls from guys with Chicago accents complaining about Steve Dilbeck's columns making fun of Cubs fans. The callers said Steve obviously is jealous of Chicago's success this season, that being an L.A. guy he doesn't understand fans with real devotion, that he'd be embarrassed when the Cubs wiped the floor with the Dodgers. Strange, but no phone calls today, after the Wrigley Field fans booed the Cubs during the Dodgers' second one-sided victory. Must be something wrong with the phones.
