So this summer I’m seeing more of these white flags with a blue “W” on them, and I don’t know what they are. Some of my employees educated me to the “we put these out whenever the Cubs win the day before” reason for these flags. Only on wins? No wonder I haven’t often seen them before (rimshot).
Anyway, as lame and sickening as these are, there’s a guy in Kewanee who has had his flying all week. Um, dude, last I checked, the Flubbies have just been spanked 3 straight by the Tigers (part of the superior league, I might add). So wouldn’t that mean the freakin’ ugly flag would then be put away?
If it isn’t put away when I drive home tonight, I’m gonna rip it down myself. They haven’t won a game all week. Take the flag down. Speaking of this week, why don’t you guys all fly white flags with a blue “L” on them when they get spanked…which is often? Only seems fair, doesn’t it?

Do you think maybe you should talk to a professional about this Cubs hatred of yours?

BJ, the W flag comes from Wrigley. For a loooong time, a “W” or “L” flag has been flown at Wrigley Field after games to indicate to the people in the neighborhood whether the Cubs won or lost. While I enjoy seeing the “W” flag flying around town, I’m with you in wishing people would actually pay attention to what’s going on and take them down when the Cubbies lose.

Mazr – it’s the fans, not the team itself, to bring out my anger.
MM – Funny how the fans have forgotten about the “L” tradition, isn’t it? BTW, the guy up the street never took his down this week. Annoying.
