Not the best spokesmen

I'm incredibly proud of my Cubbies, who are taping a video for the Dan Savage-organized video project targeting anti-LGBT bullying:

The Chicago Cubs will become only the second team in professional sports to produce an "It Gets Better" video, taking a stand against anti-gay bullying and homophobia, supported and led by Cubs owner Laura Ricketts -- who, along with Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks, appeared on the Cubs' float in the Chicago Pride Parade last year.

I love the Cubs, and will do so until my dying day. But a team that hasn't won a championship since 1908 is perhaps not the best choice to argue "it gets better." Cubs fans are notoriously optimistic ("Wait 'til next year" being the unofficial team slogan), but actual evidence that it gets better for us remains fleeting.

This is something to be proud of. It's full of win. Indeed, I would say the Cubs now show that you don't have to be #1 in the standings to be a winner.

Ron, that's exactly the kind of enabling that perpetuates an irrational belief in the Cubbies. On the other hand, Josh, I have empirical proof that the White Sox have won a World Series in this lifetime.
